While hearing the “word” go forth, I thought of many examples where His “faith” is tried, in our lives...like:
“Ask, and it shall be given ...seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” [Matt 7:7] “Whosoever shall say unto (their) mountain ...and shall not doubt in (their) heart, but shall believe that those things which (they) say shall come to pass: (they) shall have whatsoever (they) say.” [Mk 11:23] “...whosoever believeth (in the only begotten Son of God) shall have everlasting life.” [Jn 3:16] ...but then the question arises: do we believe God is able?
The Holy Ghost said: 'If we (tend to) stagger in our faith, it is not because we don't know God's WILL {that's been clearly spoken throughout the scriptures}; (it's because) we don't really believe in God's ABILITY.'
Which begins to explain why we draw back at the commands and promises of God; because we must needs be gripped (the more) in the persuasion that “what He has promised (said), He is able to perform (do).” Pastor put it this way: “He Say, He Do!” And so, the Lord continues to labor (via “the washing of the water of His word”) to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and unbelief; and strengthen us, in the faith, to receive His doings.
ThenSingsMySoul:
I DO BELIEVE,
I DO BELIEVE IN HIM.
I DO BELIEVE,
I DO BELIEVE IN HIM.
I DO BELIEVE,
I DO BELIEVE IN HIM;
AND I'M GOING TO PRAISE HIS NAME!
