FAITH AND CORRESPONDING ACTIONS !

FAITH AND CORRESPONDING ACTIONS ! There is a similar problem of overloading your faith for physical healing. Many people die needlessly because they said, "if I believe I'm healed, I'll throw away all my medication," when there faith was not developed in the God kind of faith to that level. Again the God kind of faith is simply Bible faith ! Medication won't heal you; neither will medication keep your body from being healed. But it will pull down the symptoms until you can believe God's Word for something better. Many tried to operate on a higher level of Bible faith than they have developed. They try to believe God to cure cancer and many other physical elements when they haven't developed their Bible faith to get rid of a headache. Many die needlessly when medical science could have treated them and kept them alive to live a full life. However, I would not want to live trusting in medical science and medication ! It is not a good testimony when someone says they believed God and died. No, They tried to believe God with their head and not their heart beyond where they were developed, and died. The Bible says, "For with the heart man (the inner man or spirit of man) believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:10). You and I, must use some common sense with the application of the God kind of faith and confession. When you are not developed to the level of the God kind of faith needed, do what ever is necessary to get the situation under control ---- especially when it is a life or death situation. Then get in the word of God and develop your faith in God's promise. So many people spend so much time in developing their relationship with what is called church, and not enough time in The Word of God ! (Hebrews 11:6) says, . . . "Without faith it is impossible to please him (God). . . When people get turned on to the God kind of faith, they want to please God. They hear sermons on faith and corresponding actions, and they certainly don't want to displease God. So they say, "if I really believe that God has supplied my need, then I should have full corresponding actions." So they write checks, knowing there is not sufficient money in the bank to cover the checks. But that is not corresponding action. That is foolishness. They don't mean to be foolish. However, they are trying to operate the God kind of faith from the head and not from the heart. They really want to please God. But because they have not understood corresponding action, they miss it. It is because of a lack of Bible knowledge the people perish !
