31. FAITH & TRUST
--page 246--
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, & that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. So then faith cometh by hearing, & hearing by the Word of God (Heb.11:6; Rom.10:17).
1. The Lord loves faith! He loves you because you believe Him, just because He said so!
2. The Lord loves faith, it's a form of your love!
3. "Keep on believing, Jesus is here!
Keeping on believing, there's nothing to fear!
Keep on believing, this is the way,
Faith in the night as well as the day!"

5. When you remind God of His Word, it shows you have faith in it. It's a positive declaration of your faith & your knowledge of the Word which pleases God.

So believe it as fact.
For faith dies,
When leavened with lies.
7. One of God's greatest interests is in getting you to believe in the unseeable!
8. Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that thou mayest believe, but believe that thou mayest understand.--Saint Augustine (354-430 A.D.)

Faith sees the way!

Faith answers, "I!"
18. Faith brightens our lives in a magical way
Bringing quiet & peace to a troubled day.
Faith is believing that after the rain
Bright birds will be singing & sunshine again.
Faith lets us know that the darkness of night
Is followed each morning by dawn's glowing light.
19. Faith isn't faith unless it's all you're holding onto.
20. I would rather be rich in faith & have no money, than to be rich in money & have not faith!

Above & cries, "He lives for me"
Forward & whispers, "He comes for me."

44. Turning on the faith in your heart is like turning on the light in a room!
45. Faith is like a cord which carries the power from the source to the instrument. To get the power from the source you have to have a line, & that's faith.
46. Love is God & the beginning of faith. Any form of love is a form of faith, & any form of faith is a form of love. God gives us faith for His Love.

48. It's faith that keeps you from worry, it's faith that keeps out fear!
49. If you've got the faith, it's just like you've got the title deed in your hand, "the substance of things hoped for," the title deed to things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen! (Heb.11:1)

71. Faith sees crowns growing on the top of crosses.
72. Faith, mighty faith,
The promise sees,
And looks to God alone,
Laughs at impossibilities,
And cries, "It shall be done!"
73. You'll never make it through the big doors without the tiny keys!
74. He didn't know it couldn't be done, so he went ahead & did it!
75. "Impossible" is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools.
76. Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is never alone.
77. Faith honours God, God honours faith.
78. God has confined Himself & His operations to our faith & our prayers.
79. When faith goes to market it always takes a basket.
80. The believer does not believe because he feels; he feels because he believes.

As he tackled the thing
That they said couldn't be done,
And he did it.

And your heart can believe it,
Then you can achieve it.

86. He who expects nothing shall never be disappointed.
87. Three men were walking on a wall--Feeling, Faith & Fact. Feeling took an awful fall & Faith was taken aback. Faith was so close to Feeling that he then fell down too, but Fact remained & pulled Faith up, & Faith brought Feeling too. (Fact is the Word!)

95. Almost anything in the World can cause somebody to stumble if they're weak enough!
96. If you've got real faith you'll keep on going for God even if it kills you!--And it will kill you, because it means death to self & pride & all that damned self-righteousness as you die daily.
97. Fear is the opposite of faith, & without faith you can have no power!
98. I was just crazy enough to believe God!
99. Faith is idle when circumstances are bright; only when they are adverse is one's faith in God exercised. Faith, like a muscle, grows strong & supple with exercise.
100. Faith is not only believing that God can, but that God will!
101. He likes you to go ahead on what some people call "blind" faith--actually it's seeing faith, because you're seeing God!
102. Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
103. Be sure you're Spirit-led, then go ahead!
104. To the Israelites, Goliath was "too big to hit," but to little David, he was "too big to miss."

106. Just be sure you're right, then go ahead!
107. I have constantly declared a new Declaration of Independence, trying to set you at liberty, to be led of the Spirit & your own initiative to explode according to your own faith!
108. You can't always wait until God does it, a lot of times you just have to step out by faith even if you don't see the ground you're going to put your foot on! He's able to stick the ground underneath your foot before it lands!--A real step of faith!
109. If we read the Word emphatically, our faith grows automatically.
110. A lot of people don't have faith for certain things because they don't want to have faith for them, & therefore they reject the Word of God which vindicates it.
111. Lose everything but your faith in God & you'll lose nothing; Lose your faith in God & you'll lose everything!
112. Faith is insane! There's no sanity to faith. Faith is all completely contrary to natural expectation & natural conditions!
113. Faith must know nothing but success. To the believer, desire plus faith minus doubt equals the answer.
114. Don't work it up!--Pray it down!
115. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."--And if he thinks so, then it has that influence or that power over him.
116. Doubt, fear, discouragement & murmuring kill! Faith, trust, courage & praising the Lord make alive!
117. I can trust God with you, but not for you!

129. It is His Will that I should cast
My care on Him each day,
He also bids me not to cast
My confidence away.
But oh! How foolishly I act
When taken unaware
I cast away my confidence
And carry all my care!
130. Don't be so worried about the future that you can't enjoy today.
131. Trust is never tension, true faith is complete relaxation.
132. Just roll your burden over on Jesus & go to sleep.--And let Him stay up all night!
133. Sleep is counted in God's Word as a blessing, an act of trust & faith in God that He will help you dwell in safety & not worry, fret or fear.
134. The man joked, "Don't tell me that worry doesn't do any good. I know better. The things I worry about don't happen."

145. You don't have to know the whole future. All you have to know is right now.
146. There's no need to worry about things in advance, because when the time comes the Lord tells you exactly what to do.
147. Don't worry one minute in advance about anything, just flow with it as the Spirit leads you.
148. Forget the things that are behind, & fret not thyself for tomorrow, are two of God's cardinal rules for eliminating most of your worries!
149. The less self-confidence you have, the more Christ-confidence you'll have!
150. You must continually remind yourself that everything in your life comes from God!--All past & present experiences, all relationships with others in which you find yourself, & all circumstances are straight from His hand & are part of His divine plan.

165. We ask Thee to give us a New Year now, even better than the last one, Lord, in whatever way You know is best.

176. Never put a question mark where God has put a period.
177. Don't worry!--It's God's Word! It doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, as long as you eat it up. You have to have food even if you don't understand. Does a baby understand the chemical constituency in vitamins & the technical scientific constitution of every bite of food that she eats? No, she's just hungry, she gobbles it up & it makes her grow.
178. The more we depend on Him each day,
The more we'll have in every way!

180. There have been mountain peaks of decision with nothing but thin air between me & the next peak & I had to take that step alone & trust God for the consequences, with no guarantee but God, no warranty but His Word, all other conditions being against it, all natural circumstances being opposed to it, the waves & the winds fighting against it & all I had was the Hand of God. But He never let me down even if He had to pick me up by that hand & lift me across to that next mountain peak without any visible natural normal logical reasonable means of help.
181. Faith is a definite transaction, at a definite time, forever afterwards counted done.
182. Hope isn't faith. Hope is putting a thing in the future; faith is putting it in the past.

184. Through His Word, God can blow upon the embers of your faith, bringing it back to life again, when you're down & discouraged & have almost given up hope.
185. There are those of trusting child-like faith who are daily doing things that doubting intellectuals say can't be done!
186. Life's yesterdays have passed forever beyond our reach. God has them in His keeping, leave them there.
187. I never look at the cheque, I look at the man! If I can trust the man, I take his cheque!
188. Look at the Maker of the promises, then there can be no question as to the validity of the promises.
189. If you'll trust Him, He can make melody out of one string!--Even if the others are all gone.
190. You can have faith for almost anything if you take it a day at a time!
191. These are the keys that unlock the treasure vaults of Heaven: Meeting the conditions attached to each promise.
192. Oh, how many silly children has the Father in His family, crying year in & year out, "Give, give!" & the Father is all the while saying, "Take, take, my child!"
193. Faith will not make the sun rise sooner, but it will make the night seem shorter.
194. We are not travelling by schedule but by faith.
195. The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith. The beginning of faith is the end of anxiety.
196. A sceptical young man went home from a theological school to visit his devout grandmother. "Grandmother," he said, "you know that the Bible you say you believe in, was written in Hebrew & Greek. It had to be translated by great scholars into our language. How do you know those who translated it got it right?"
"Ah, Jamie, lad," she answered, "Never mind the great men; I have translated a few of them promises myself."
197. "Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he allows." (Rom.14:22)--It'll make you happier if you're not doing things which you feel condemned about, about which you feel guilty or have a guilt complex, things that you're not sure are right. In fact, if you're afraid maybe it's wrong, then it is wrong for you.
198. It pays to trust the Lord, amen?--Even to obey when it looks likes it's crazy or it's going to hurt. It might hurt a little while, but you always come out better in the end if you obey the Lord.
199. Faith & prayer are the coinage of Heaven.
200. God has not only promised us supernatural power, but He's promised it for now & He has promised it for ages, & it's been done before! It can not only be done in the Tribulation, but it can be done now if you have the faith for it & you need it!
201. If you pray & the miracle doesn't immediately happen, you shouldn't get discouraged. Because if it's the Lord's will, you do have that power & it will happen in the Lord's time.
202. If the Lord doesn't show you what's going to happen, it doesn't mean you're supposed to stop working. Sometimes it means keep right on doing what you're doing, keep busy, keep working--but wait! Don't make any drastic moves or changes, except perhaps some little ones in order that when it happens you won't be caught short or unprepared.
203. Sometimes a wrong decision on the part of your Home Shepherd may be the Lord testing you to see how you'll react.--Whether you'll get all upset or whether you'll just trust the Lord to take care of it somehow, knowing that He won't let anything drastic happen to His Work that He's more concerned about than you are. Maybe He's trying to see if you really believe Romans 8:28.
204. When you worry about things that you're afraid are going to happen, but haven't happened & may never happen, you're not even giving God a chance to work it out. Why don't you just leave things in the Lord's hands & let Him work it out?
205. Faith is to believe what we do not see; & the reward of this faith to see what we believe.

234. ACT.27:25 I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

236. ROM.1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
237. ROM.3:3 For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
238. ROM.4:14,15 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

241. ROM.5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
242. ROM.8:24,25 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

244. ROM.14:5,14 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. To him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
245. ROM.14:22,23 Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

247. 1CO.12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit.
248. 2CO.1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
249. 2CO.5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
250. GAL.5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
251. 1TI.4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the Living God, Who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
252. 2TI.2:13 If we believe not, yet He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself.

254. HEB.10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;).
255. HEB.10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.
256. JAM.2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
257. 1JO.5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the World, even our faith.
