Exceeding Growing Faith !

Exceedingly Growing Faith : "My son, and daughters, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart for they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life." The amplified Bible. Get your mind on the answer. Which is the Word of God. Constantly affirm, even in the face of contradictory evidence, that God has heard your prayer because the Word says so. It is when you do not let His Words depart from before your eyes that you will get results. Don't wait to Sunday, to continue to develop and renew your mind. This all agrees with what Jesus says in (Mark 11:24), ". . . What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." You must believe it before you receive it. And make sure that you are praying the promise which is the prayer of faith. Some say, "I am not going to believe anything I can't see," that is a typical human faith. In every born-again and unborn again person has that kind of faith. When even in the physical, all the natural, we believe many things we can't see. The entire world became concerned about something they couldn't see when bones were being exploded which released radioactive material into the atmosphere. We can't see it and we can't feel it--- but it is a destructive power. Scientists believe in many things they can't see. And then something it is preposterous for God to call upon us to believe in the unseen ! Just as people become alarmed about the unseen radioactivity in this world and believe it even though they cannot see it or feel it, I believe what the word of God says about the Holy Spirit--- the unseen power of God--- and the spoken Word of God, whether or not I feel it or see it. Feeling has nothing to do with it. God is present. His power is present. When the word of God which is the power of God is preached. Why, because God wants to confirm His words in the lives of those who hear them. I do not base my faith on what I feel, or on what I see, I base it on what God said. And he said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Remember That He said in (Hebrews 13:5--6), ". . . For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." Is that what you are saying ? Or are you confessing declaring what the 6 o'clock ABC news is saying ? Are you boldly saying, what God has said ? It is what you should be saying ! But some people are saying, "well That, the Lord's forsaken me; pray for me. I just don't feel like I once did." Your feelings have nothing whatsoever to do with the things of the kingdom of God. The Lord has said He would never forsake you ! And some say, "Well, I don't know whether I can make it or not. I hope I can. You all pray for me that hold out faithful to the end." This is not what He told us to boldly say ! Yet many are boldly saying, "I'm whipped. I'm defeated. The Devils got me bound." But nowhere in the Bible are we told to boldly say these things. However, I know that many are you a highly developed in these areas of your lives. It takes time to develop yourself in the Word of God and in the process of renewing your mind !
