According to Hebrews 11:1, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. When we begin to understand substance, it means reality. What this word means is that we are expecting something in our lives that is real and concrete. We are looking to God to actually manifest the reality of what we are imagining and praying about. When we focus on what God has actually promised us, imagine it in our minds, and believe in our hearts, we will see the evidence or proof of the blessing. God has designed everything in this world by faith. In other words according to Hebrews 11:3, we see that through faith the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made by things which do appear.
In a time of economical destruction and recession we have to understand that God created all things. In other words before we can see the evidence of what he created, we have to be sold out to our faith. We can't look at what we visibly see, we have to examine and trust what we don't see. Everything came into existence when God spoke by faith. During economic woes every word we speak must be a faith word. We have the ability through God to create as he created. This means that by having a heart of faith, and foundation of faith, we can frame our world. Our world is how we see it. Faith allows us to frame and change our circumstances. God needs something to work with before He can move. Hebrews 11:6, states that without faith it is impossible to please God. God moves by faith, because without it there is no pleasure given to Him. God takes pleasure in the prosperity of his saints. We must understand that God's pleasure to provide all of our needs comes by faith.
