Hebrews 11, verse by verse

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

My faith gives physical substance to everything I hope for.

For by it the elders obtained a good report.

I walk in faith and obtain a good report daily.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

The unseen word of God frames every dimension of my life.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

My worship is excellent and speaks righteousness into my future.

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

I walk with God and my life pleases Him completely.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I seek God diligently and receive His glorious rewards.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

I am an heir of righteousness and my household is saved.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

I obey the voice of God and enter my inheritance.

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

I dwell in peace as a co-heir of God's promise.

For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

My life is built upon eternal foundations made by God.

Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

I receive supernatural strength because God is faithful to His word.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

My fruitfulness is endless like the stars of heaven.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

I see the promises afar off and embrace them in faith.

For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

My heart is set on the heavenly country prepared for me.

And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

I press forward continually and never look back.

But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

God is not ashamed of me and prepares my eternal place.

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

My faith stands firm through every test of life.

Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

God preserves the lineage of my divine promise.

Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

I know God raises life out of every dead situation.

By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

My words speak blessing and glory over the future.

By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

I worship in faith and release blessing into generations.

By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

I rest in the absolute fulfillment of God's promises.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

I walk without fear of any earthly decree.

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

I reject the world and choose my divine identity.

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

I choose eternal righteousness over temporary earthly pleasures.

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

My true reward in Christ far exceeds all earthly wealth.

By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

I endure untroubled because I see the invisible God.

Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

I am protected and no destroyer touches my home.

By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

God opens dry paths for me through deep waters.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

Every obstacle before me falls down by faith.

By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

My faith preserves me and brings peace to my house.

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

I am part of a great cloud of victorious witnesses.

Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

Through faith I subdue kingdoms and obtain every promise.

Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Out of weakness I am made strong in battle.

Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

I walk in resurrection power and eternal hope.

And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

My faith remains unshaken through every hardship.

They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

I am an overcomer in Christ through all trials.

(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

I am highly valued of God above this world.

And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

I obtain a good report and walk in faith.

God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

God has provided the better thing for my life.
