THE BALANCE OF FAITH'S ACTION !

THE BALANCE OF FAITH'S ACTION ! Now let's move it over into the natural realm. As we look at these principles in the natural realm, we can understand some spiritual things better. Let's say, for example, you take your car to a mechanic and say, "can you overhaul this engine ?" He replies, "Yes, you better believe I can overhaul it. I'm one of the best mechanic in this country. I know when I overhaul this engine it will run like a new one. You have left it in the right hands when you leave it with me." So he goes to work on the engine. If he is a man that has misunderstood corresponding action, he may come to work some morning and say, "if I really believe that this car is going to run like a new one, I ought to have full corresponding action toward what I believe." So right in the middle of the overhaul when he doesn't even have the block assembled, he says, "I am going to have full corresponding actions and act as if it's already repaired." So he calls you to tell you that your card is finished. No one would be that foolish in the natural. His action should be equal only to manifestation. But yet, concerning healing and the manifestation of what they prayed or said, some act that way. For example, some pray to have restoration of their vision, and they think, in order to have full corresponding action, I'll have to stop wearing my glasses, or throw them away. Unless God spoke to you to do so, that is foolish. For, if God said it, it will work. First of all, glasses won't heal eyes, nor will glasses keep your eyes from being healed. And the same thing is equally true concerning medication that is for the other parts of the body. Some medications will not heal the body nor will it keep you from being healed divinely by God. Some think, because they have full corresponding action, they will cause the manifestation to come. If I stop wearing my glasses, that will prove I have faith and bring the manifestation. It may prove you will have to feel your way to work the next morning. This is just as foolish as the mechanic calling you to pick up your car when the engine repair is only I have completed. Have patience for the full corn in the ear so to speak. The apostle James says, "My brethern counted it all joy when you fall into various trials, Knowing this, that the testing of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing." (James 1:3-4). Now, don't feel condemned if you have done some of these things when you don't know any better. That's why I am spending so much time on these subjects.
