Exceedingly Growing Faith !

Exceedingly Growing Faith : Then I get up and go about my business, but before you know it, the devil is trying to get me again. I simply go right back and read this verse outline out and keep claiming and calling for it. The minister began to practice this. He told me later the problem was worked out and did not get as big as he had expected. He was being sued over a certain matter, but it did not amount to anything. God help him out of it all. You can become so frightful over something that you can't eat or sleep. Your stomach feels as though it has butterflies in it. But all you have to do is practice the Word and you will get results. (Philippians 4:7) is a result of practicing (Philippians 4:6). (Philippians 4:7) "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Many people want what the seventh verse talks about, but they don't want to practice what the sixth verse says to do to get it. The amplified translation of the seventh verse says, "And God's peace. . . Which transcends all understanding, shall Garrison and Mount God over your hearts [spirit] and minds [soul] in Christ Jesus." God's peace will keep guard over your heart and your mind. But can you read the results and have the peace without being a "doer of the Word" ? No, you really cannot. The sixth verse tells us not to fret or have any anxiety about anything. People who worry and fret constantly think on the wrong side of life. Verse 8 tells us what we are to think about: (Philippians 4:8). "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, what so ever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Do verse 8, practice this verse. Think about the right things. Many people think about the wrong things. And you know what they are thinking about because of what they talk about. The Bible says, "I of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh." They constantly worry, fret, and think on the wrong side of life, and they continuously talk unbelief. You cannot be a "doer of the Word" and continue to talk unbelief. The more you talk about some things, the bigger they get. If something does not meet all these qualifications--- true, honest, just, pure, lovely, etc.--- Don't think about it and don't talk about it. The amplified translation of (1 Corinthians 13:7) reads, "Love. . . Is ever ready to believe the best of every person." I have found through the years that most of the stories I have heard about people don't even meet the first qualification; they aren't true. So don't talk about the stories you hear--- don't even think about them. Some of the things you hear might be true, but they might not be pure and lovely [and noticed this] and of a good report. Therefore we are not to think about them. But thinking about these things, we give place to the devil. His greatest weapon is the power of suggestion. He is ever endeavoring to enter your thought life. This is why we are instructed in God's Word, "think on these things." God the Holy Spirit speaks to the church particularly in the epistles. Meditate on what He has to say in these letters to the believers which is the church and be a "doer of the Word." You will grow spiritually.
