GOD'S FAITH PRINCIPLE AND METHOD !

GOD'S FAITH PRINCIPLE AND METHOD ! It was obvious that Abram was too old to father a child, and his wife was 90. But God called things that were not as though they were. Then in order to get Abram to do the same, God changed his name, God said, "you're name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham" (which means "Father of Nations" are "Father of a Multitude"). God was not playing, make-believe. This was and is His way of getting Abram to operate in the principle of faith. God uses His own principles and laws. He knew that if He could get Abram to say what He said, it will produce faith. For faith in God comes by hearing the Word of God. (Romans 10:17). But Abram couldn't read Romans 10:17 to find this truth. God knew there was another faith in the name to cause it to come to pass. So God changed Abram's name to Abraham. Every time he walked up to someone and said, "My Name Is Abraham," he was saying, "I am the father of many nations" or "Thus Saith the Lord: I am the father of many nations." Can you imagine, with all the people who work for him, how many times Abraham's name was called each day ? They would say, "Oh, Abraham, what do you want to do with this fence ? Abraham, what do you want to do with the sheep ? Abraham, what do you want to do with the cattle ? Abraham. . . Abraham. . . Abraham . . ." But he didn't hear Abraham at all. He heard, "Father of nations. . . Father of nations. . . Father of nations. . ." I like to use my imagination. Because that is what God has given us the imagination compartment of our mind to use and create an image. I imagine that he was probably using a cane, getting around slowly; but he kept saying, "I am the father of nations. I am the father of nations." Others want to laugh, but they didn't dare because all the people in the county worked for him. They kept saying, "Oh, father of nations. . . Father of nations. " Finally, he threw away his cane say, "Praise God, I believe I am !" And he started walking better and standing straighter because he believed God. God wants us to say what He has said about us ! And we are not just sinners saved by grace. Sinners has the nature of the devil which is and un-regenerated state a dead nature with no life in it at all. However, the born again believer, has the nature of Almighty God in themselves. "And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousess." (Romans 4:22).
