Jesus Revolution: Faith Expecting the Supernatural - Charismatic (Hebrews 11:1-6)

Source: ChurchWiseAI77 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

The Jesus People expected miracles—healings, deliverances, conversions by the thousands. Their faith was "conviction of things not seen" that became visible daily. Charismatic reading of Hebrews 11 emphasizes that faith expects supernatural results. Enoch was translated—supernatural! Noah built for a flood unprecedented—miraculous preservation! By faith the impossible becomes possible. "Without faith it is impossible to please God" (11:6)—and with faith, impossibilities crumble. Faith doesn't just believe; faith receives, expects, and sees the manifestation of heaven on earth.
