It is written that without Emunah {incorrectly Faith} it is impossible to please Yah (The Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, incorrectly called The LORD) because first one must believe He exists.

Watch Broadcast: Emunah {Faith} is vital to walking closely with the Creator
This is presented in detail in the book of the Bible named “Hebrews” in Chapter 11 cited in the Appendix quoting from the Amplified translation.
Key verses:
1 “Now Emunah is the assurance of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality--Emunah comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].”
3 “By Emunah [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of Yah] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of Yah, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”
6 “But without Emunah it is impossible to [walk with Yah and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to Yah must [necessarily] believe that Yah exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.”
Notice from the appendix that many people in the Bible achieved great exploits despite adversity because of their Emunah, their settled assurance, their confidence in the existence of Yah and in His promise of great rewards in the life to come.
Associated with Emunah are significant promises:
- The promise of a place of great glory and esteem in Heaven for those who are faithful to the end and deeply serve Yah see chapter 5 of the Final Quest and also the article The Demographics of the Kingdom of Yah in December 2015
- The promise of the Set-Apart Spirit of Yah within you, see How to become an Anointed One – One Filled with the Spirit of the Almighty and Experiencing the Anointing -- HOW does it manifest?
- The promise of healing and walking in Divine Health, see the article Emunah {Faith} for Supernatural Divine Healing.
- The promise of the Anointing (infilling with the Spirit of Yah giving wisdom and favour) enabling us to command profitable employment and meet our financial needs, see the article Emunah {Faith} for Finances.
- The promise of protection – Yah’s Messengers {
Angels} are encamped around you to protect you Psalm 34:7 , no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises against you in unrighteous judgement will be refuted YeshaYahoo {Isaiah} 54:17.
- The promise of inspired utterance in prayer, speaking and writing – give no thought to what you will say – receive the words as you need them – MattihYahoo 10:19.
- Overall guidance in life.
- Strength and guidance in persecution with the caveat that provided you are walking free of sin (strictly keeping the true Ten Commandments, that the Forces of Darkness cannot touch you.
Against this there are caveats in terms of how we live our lives, worshipping regularly (preferably daily), doing what we are lead to do, being disciplined, etcetera. Important to read the articles The biggest error crippling Mature Anointed Believers and The Essence of my message concerning Judgement in THIS Life
Socalled Emunah associated with a lack of relationship, failure to worship, pray and generally focus on Yah is foolishness and will produce nothing. It is futile to claim you are exercising Emunah when you are making no effort to build your relationship with Him and to know His will in your life and to do it.
Emunah associated with a deep relationship and Anointing will be extremely fruitful.
Conclusion
There is much more information on the website www.ETIMin.org I encourage you to dig deep and drop me an email at james@etimin.org so I can help you, pray with you, counsel you, etcetera.
May Father bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His Peace
May Yah judge me severely and correct me harshly and show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it with regard to everything that I write and publish

Appendix – Hebrews 11 from the Amplified Bible with adjustments
1 Now Emunah is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality--Emunah comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] Emunah the [a]men of old gained [divine] approval.
3 By Emunah [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of Yah] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of Yah, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. 4 By Emunah Abel offered to Yah a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which it was testified of him that he was righteous (upright, in right standing with Yah), and Yah testified by accepting his gifts. And though he died, yet through [this act of] Emunah he still speaks. 5 By Emunah [that pleased Yah] Enoch was caught up and taken to heaven so that he would not have a glimpse of death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE YAH HAD TAKEN HIM; for even before he was taken [to heaven], he received the testimony [still on record] that he had walked with Yah and pleased Him. 6 But without Emunah it is impossible to [walk with Yah and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to Yah must [necessarily] believe that Yah exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him. 7 By Emunah [with confidence in Yah and His word] Noah, being warned by Yah about events not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his family. By this [act of obedience] he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness which comes by Emunah.
8 By Emunah Abraham, when he was called [by Yah], obeyed by going to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went, not knowing where he was going. 9 By Emunah he lived as a foreigner in the promised land, as in a strange land, living in tents [as nomads] with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs of the same promise. 10 For he was [waiting expectantly and confidently] looking forward to the city which has foundations, [an eternal, heavenly city] whose architect and builder is Yah. 11By Emunah even Sarah herself received the ability to conceive [a child], even [when she was long] past the normal age for it, because she considered Him who had given her the promise to be reliable and true [to His word]. 12 So from one man, though he was [physically] as good as dead, were born as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND ON THE SEASHORE.
13 All these died in Emunah [guided and sustained by it], without receiving the [tangible fulfillment of Yah’s] promises, only having seen (anticipated) them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 Now those who say such things make it clear that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 And if they had been thinking of that country from which they departed [as their true home], they would have had [a continuing] opportunity to return. 16 But the truth is that they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. For that reason Yah is not ashamed [of them or] to be called their Mighty One [even to be surnamed their Mighty One --the Mighty One of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob]; for He has prepared a city for them.
17 By Emunah Abraham, when he was tested [that is, as the testing of his Emunah was still in progress], offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises [of Yah] was ready to sacrifice his only son [of promise]; 18 to whom it was said, “THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED.” 19 For he considered [it reasonable to believe] that Yah was able to raise Isaac even from among the dead. [Indeed, in the sense that he was prepared to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to Yah] Abraham did receive him back [from the dead] figuratively speaking. 20 By Emunah Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau [believing what Yah revealed to him], even regarding things to come. 21 By Emunah Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed in worship, leaning on the top of his staff. 22 By Emunah Joseph, when he was dying, referred to [the promise of Yah for] the exodus of the sons of Israel [from Egypt], and gave instructions concerning [the burial of] his bones [in the land of the promise].
23 By Emunah Moses, after his birth, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful and divinely favored child; and they were not afraid of the king’s (Pharaoh’s) decree. 24 By Emunah Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 because he preferred to endure the hardship of the people of Yah rather than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin. 26 He considered the reproach of the Anointing of Yah {Christ} [that is, the rebuke he would suffer for his faithful obedience to Yah] to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt; for he looked ahead to the reward [promised by Yah]. 27 By Emunah he left Egypt, being unafraid of the wrath of the king; for he endured [steadfastly], as seeing Him who is unseen. 28 By Emunah he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood [on the doorposts], so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them (the firstborn of Israel). 29 By Emunah the people [of Israel] crossed the Red Sea as though they were passing through dry land; but when the Egyptians attempted it they were drowned.
30 By Emunah the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days [by Yahooshua {Joshua} and the sons of Israel]. 31By Emunah Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies [sent by the sons of Israel] in peace.
32 And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who by Emunah [that is, with an enduring trust in Yah and His promises] subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, 34 extinguished the power of [raging] fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty and unbeatable in battle, putting enemy forces to flight. 35 Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured [to death], refusing to accept release [offered on the condition of denying their Belief], so that they would be resurrected to a better life; 36 and others experienced the trial of mocking and scourging [amid torture], and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned [to death], they were sawn in two, they were lured with tempting offers [to renounce their Belief], they were put to death by the sword; they went about wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated 38 (people of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and [living in] caves and holes in the ground.
39 And all of these, though they gained [divine] approval through their Emunah, did not receive [the fulfillment of] what was promised, 40 because Yah had us in mind and had something better for us, so that they [these men and women of authentic Emunah] would not be made perfect [that is, completed in Him] apart from us.
