Exceedingly Growing Faith !

Exceedingly Growing Faith : (2 Corinthians 4:13) "Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I now believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak, (Psalms 116:10)." Get your mind on the answer. Constantly affirm, even in the face of contradictory evidence, that God has heard your prayer because the Word says so, not because you feel something ! It is when you do not let His Words depart from before your eyes that you will get results. Remember, what Jesus said in (Matthew 12:33) He's comparing people as trees ! And the fruit of the trees are either good, or corrupt. "Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit." Now, Jesus here was dealing with the religious people of that day before he went to the cross. He says, " O generation of vipers, you know what a viper he is don't you ? It is a snake ! "How can you, being evil, speak good things ? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man [one who is born again] out of the good treasure of the heart bring it forth good things: and an evil man [one who is not born again] out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things, But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak [ladies you are included in this as well] they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." This all agree with what Jesus says also in (Mark 11:24), ". . . What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you received them, and you shall have them." You must believe it before you received it. Some say, "I'm not going to believe anything I can't see, and most people go by what they feel, when even in the physical, all the natural, we believe many things we can't see. The entire world becomes concerned about something they couldn't see when bombs were being exploded which releases 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 ! Remember, now faith is the substance of things not seen ! Just as people become alarmed about the unseen radioactivity in this world and believe it even though they could not see it or feel it, I believe what the Word of God says about the Holy Spirit--- the unseen power of God--- whether or not I feel it or see it. Some of the greatest healings which have taken place in the meetings were when I didn't feel a thing. Some of the most marvelous things have happened when the service seemed dead. Feeling has nothing to do with it. God is present. His power is present. I do not base my faith on what I feel, or what I see. I based it on what God said. And he said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 13:6 5-6). Is that what you are saying ? Are you boldly saying, "the Lord is my helper" ? It is what you should be saying ! But some people are saying, "Well the Lords forsaken me; pray for me. I just don't feel like I once did." Your feelings have nothing whatsoever to do with this. Did you know that the enemy of all humanity plays on your five senses, by keeping you in the since realm ! The Lord had 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 I'll hold out faithful to the end." That is not what He told us to boldly say ! However, many are boldly saying, "I'm whipped. I'm defeated. The Devils got me bound and owned the run." But nowhere in the Bible are we told to boldly say that ! He said, "I will never leave you, nor for sake you, so that you may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper." Now quit saying the wrong thing and start saying the right things.
