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!"
         4. It's impossible to have faith unless you have the Word.
         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.
         6. The Bible's exact,
         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.)
         9. He who loses money loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he who loses faith loses all.
         10. Does your faith move mountains, or do mountains move your faith?
         11. You get what you ask for, & what you have faith for!
         12. Faith praises no matter what happens.
         13. If it is difficult, we do it immediately; if it is impossible, it may take a little longer.
         14. Life without faith is like a car without gas. It will go downhill, but makes very little uphill progress.
         15. Faith carries the light of truth, which eliminates the shadow of doubt.
         16. A man of courage is also full of faith.
         17. Doubt sees the obstacles,
         Faith sees the way!
         Doubt sees the darkest night
         Faith sees the day!

         Doubt dreads to take a step
         Faith soars on high!
         Doubt questions, "Who believes?"
         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!
         21. You can do
anything if you have the faith & the will to work, the vision, the courage & the initiative!

knows God will do it!--And He does!
         24. A lot depends on your faith & your leading & what He tells you personally to do. That's what you have to do.
         25. It's amazing what faith can accomplish if you're really in tune with the Lord & you've got not only faith but a lot of gumption & get-up-&-go!
         26. With faith, believing is seeing! Faith works on blind obedience whether you ever get the answer or not!

         32. Bravery is courage in the face of fear.
         33. We don't have a do-nothing religion--we have a do-anything religion.--Anything you have the faith for, you can get out & do it yourself! We have a do-it-yourself religion.

         Above & cries, "He lives for me"
         Forward & whispers, "He comes for me."
         35. Faith is vision plus valour & vigour!
         36. Faith stands, leaning on God's Word.
         37. If your parents have the slightest bit of faith in the Lord as a grain of mustard seed, they're going to have some place in His Kingdom & you'll see'm again some day, & then they'll understand.

         39. Fair weather faith is no faith at all!
         40. It is impossible to have faith unless you have the Word, because your faith is something that is built by faithful study of God's Word.
         41. There's no excuse for not having the faith for something! "Faith cometh by hearing the Word"! (Rom.10:17.)
         42. The Lord really likes to keep you guessing, because that really tries your faith!
         43. My answer to some people who have personal problems & want me to solve'm & tell'm what to do is just to say, "According to your faith be it done unto you!"
         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.
         47. Don't say "if" about anything. Faith is faith! You either know it or you don't know it. You either believe it or you don't.
         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)
         50. Faith is just doing what God tells you to do today & believing Him for tomorrow.
         51. Salvation has always been by faith in Christ, with or without the law. Even though those who lived before Christ were looking
forward to Him & we look backwards, Salvation, grace, faith & the promises are always the same.

         54. Faith is a kind of drawing power.--It is you drawing power from God.
         55. You cannot have the courage to obey unless you have faith!
         56. Although you might have all of the necessary tools to help you in your ministry, if you don't have crazy faith, you'll miss the key & the blessing.
         57. When the little widow cast in all her living, she must have had a lot of faith & expected God to give it back, & I'm sure He did!
         58. I believe in putting God on the spot & asking Him to do a miracle!
         59. It's not that the brave are not afraid, it's just that they have the courage & the faith to go ahead! If they were not afraid, they wouldn't have to be brave!
         60. Faith is not nothing! "Faith is the
substance of things hoped for." It's knowing God & that God is, & that God is going to take care of you somehow if you obey Him & do His Will & His Work.
         61. If the Word & reading the Word doesn't give you the faith for it, it is because you have rejected the Word & therefore you refuse to receive it or obey it!
         62. Whenever you're in doubt, faith it!
         63. You cannot stop the man of faith!
         64. When in doubt don't!--But when in faith do!
         65. Real faith is not a passive thing, it acts out what it believes!
         66. God doesn't always give me the faith for
your job--He gives me the faith for my job!

         The promise sees,
         And looks to God alone,
         Laughs at impossibilities,

         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!)
         88. Faith really shows that you have love.
         89. "To the pure all things are pure," but to those who are impure, everything is impure!
         90. Faith that cannot stand a test is no faith at all.
         91. Hope looks over the fence into tomorrow, faith into the past & counts it done.
         92. Living by faith means putting faith into action & feet to your prayers.
         93. There is no limit to the possibilities for a man with the imagination of faith!
         94. If you are weak in faith it's because you're weak in 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.

         104. To the Israelites, Goliath was "too big to hit," but to little David, he was "too big to miss."
         105. Any one of you can do anything you have got the burden & the faith for!--You can get out & do it yourself!
         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!
         118. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; & lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, & He shall direct thy paths. (Pro.3:5,6)

         123. He who fears calamities, suffers them twice over.
         124. Worry does not empty tomorrow of its trouble. It does empty today of its strength.
         125. To carry care to bed, is to sleep with a pack on your back.
         126. Keep your face to the sunshine & you cannot see the shadow.
         127. So many take their burdens to the Lord & lay them at His feet & then pick them right back up again & walk off with them!
         128. Let go & let God!
         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."
         135. Forget about yesterday, except to thank the Lord for it. Don't worry about tomorrow--it'll take care of itself!

         141. God wants you to trust Him & believe
first of all, & then you'll see the answer!
         142. When you're trusting, you're not heard to fret! When you're fretting, you're not trusting yet!
         143. "Thou dost not have to see nor understand all things, neither dost thou have to know the mind of thy father nor to understand all the Words of David, for all of these things which I have ordained are already in My hands & are finished."
         144. If there's anything I know, it is that God has never failed, & I've always been glad I trusted Him.
         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.

         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. If you know that He has sent them, it makes them easier to accept.
         151. If you lean mostly on the means & the man instead of the Maker, you'll soon be in a mess!
         152. If you can trust Him with your life, why can't you trust Him with your death?
         153. Welcome, New Year, which shall bring,
         Fresh blessings from our Lord & King.
         154. You can't change the past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
         155. Some will hate thee, some will love thee,
         Some will flatter, some will slight,
         Turn from Man & look above thee,
         Trust in God & do the right.
         156. Never doubt for a moment
         That God will reply,
         He has to, He wants to,
         Trust Him, He can't lie!

         Just keep on trusting
         When things go all wrong
         And you'll soon shout the victory
         And sing His new song.

         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.
         166. At the end of your rope?--Let go & let God!--Just can't cope?--Take
God's dope!
         167. Time solves so many problems--a minute, a few hours, a few days, & you'll find that God has solved things without your help! Give God a chance! Give Him time! Wait on the Lord.
         168. Disappointment!--His-appointment!
         Change one letter, then I see
         That the thwarting of my purpose
         Is God's better choice for me!
         169. You can't say to someone, "I love you, but I don't trust you."
         170. Hope never quits, faith never stops trusting & love never fails.
         171. Fret not thyself for tomorrow.
         172. I came to the man at the gate of the year
         And asked of him a light that I might see my way.

         And
He shall be unto thee a light
         And better than a known way."

         174. Are you on the spot? Turn around & put
God on the spot.
         175. God gives you power for the hour, grace for the trial--at the hour & when it comes--not before!
         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!
         179. Forget trying to explain it! Quit trying to understand it! Stop trying to diagnose it! Cease analysing it! You're just making hard work out of all the fun! Just turn it on & enjoy it!
         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.
         183. People who live within God's Golden Gates of Faith can survive anything, even death!--And can still say like Job, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him!"
         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.
