This came about by a marvellous archaeological find. A Roman lady's travel chest was uncovered in Palestine. Those papers were title deeds. Those papers declared her legal right to possession of the described properties - properties that she had probably never seen with her eyes until her journey, though she had long known she owned them. The word hupostasis means title deed.
Faith is the title deed to things hoped for.
In other words, faith declares to you your legal right to the possession of what you have been hoping for. It's your hold on hope. When faith is so strong in you that it is causing you to be filled with all joy and peace, then the Holy Spirit has the chance to make you start abounding in hope. Hope comes Hope comes by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul prayed for the Ephesian church for hope to come by the Holy Spirit.
