by faith...

Like Moses before him, Joshua received his orders from the Lord, and he obeyed them, by faith. "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17) It has been well said that faith is not believing in spite of evidence but obeying in spite of consequence. When you read Hebrews 11 (The Faith Chapter), you discover that the people mentioned there all "did something" because they believed God. Their faith wasn't a passive feeling; it was an active force. Because Abraham believed God, he left Ur and headed to Canaan. Because Moses believed God, he defied the gods of Egypt and led the Jews to freedom. Because Gideon believed God, he led a small band of Jews to defeat the huge Midianite army. Living faith always leads to action. "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." James 2:26. 
When we released our home and our belongings into God's hands, His blessings flowed forth upon us, but we had to release these material things first. 
There are three essentials required for moving forward by faith: 
WORD OF FAITH, WALK OF FAITH, & WITNESS OF FAITH.
