Faith

Greetings

The Word says, if one wants to please God he must have faith---"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" (Heb. 11:6)

This is the one sure way to please God. If God can be made happy and well pleased in such a simple way, why shouldn't everyone who loves Him put forth the utmost effort to have faith in Him?

God is a person and when we choose not to have faith in His word and promises we are calling him a lair. How can we expect to receive an answer to prayer with this attitude?

How can we have the nerve to come to God continually and ask Him for something and then tell Him by our acts and innermost feelings that we do not believe Him and cannot trust Him to the extent that He demands?

Faith is simple---it is believing God without wavering, doubting, or questioning what He says. It is believing not only that He is able, but that He will do it!

The way to get faith is by hearing the Word of God. The way to use faith is to take God at His Word and judge Him faithful in granting that what is asked in the name of Jesus.

Learn to thank God for your answer to prayer as if it were already done. Expect the complete answer whether you see it or not. Do not be moved by your symptoms, feelings, impossibilities or anything to the contrary.

Faith laughs at impossibilities and cries, "It is done!"

Whatever you are asking God for today---It is done---now just rest in Him.

Blessings

Paul
