After we have seen...

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)

"For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?" (Romans 8:24)

Do we ever realize that when the Lord shows us a healing... we don't need faith to see it again?  It moves from the realm of faith into the security fortress of confidence.  Faith is evidence of things not seen.  So when we see it, just as with hope...
we no longer need faith for it.

Knowing this, consider what you have seen the Lord do already.  You do not need faith to see those things again. 

You need faith to see new things... things not yet seen.

And since it is impossible to please Him without faith, and we know that faith is a gift of the Holy Spirit, we need to grab hold of the truth that Our Father in heaven wants to astound us with the new things He is doing.

He wants to show us more because He wants us to have faith because it pleases Him. 

You give your four year old crayons because it pleases you so much to see her draw.  When they get older you give them something new... markers maybe, or paint... because it pleases you to see them draw... for you.  It doesn't matter what they draw or paint, or how good it is... it is all about the pleasure you get...

And it is the same with Him.  It pleases Him, as a Father, to see us happy and to give us new things.

Know that the Lord wants to show you new things.  He wants to WOW you.  He wants to add unto your faith.

And, also know that you do not need faith to see Him do what He has done before... because you have seen it.

Open your eyes... He is waiting to blow us away with the new thing.
