A living Faith..... By my pastor.
Faith is God in the soul . God oerates by HisSon and transforms the natural into supernatural. Faith is active-never dormant. Faith is life. ; it produces life; it changes life. Faith is what came to me when I believed . I was instantly saved and changed by His grace. " How great our faith should be for we cannot be saved except by faith . We cannot be kept except by faith. We can only be baptized by faith, and we will be caught up by faith; therefore , faith in the living God is a blessed reality" ..... Smith Wigglesworth.
The way to God is the way of faith; there isn't any other way. Rom. 4 :18- 20...... tells us that 'Against all hope. Abraham in hope believed.... without weakening in his faith , he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead-since he was about 100 yrs. old- and that Sarah's womb was also dead " During the 25 yrs. of waiting conditions had grown more and more hopeless for Abraham , yet the promise had been made.
Abraham dared for 25 yrs to believe when everything got worse every day. He did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God. Do we believe that God can quicken what is dead ? The more there was no hope, Abraham believed in hope.
Be strengthened in your faith today . God knows. He has a plan; He has a way. In Him there is no lie or "shadow of turning." Let's ask God to give us the grace to use the faith we have. God will work the miracle in us if we dare to believe.
