Hi Gary,

I encourage & commend you bro. for walking away from unrighteous talk. I have been praying for you & the situation as I know you have a `pastoral` heart for others. I do believe in the Lord that one man from that group will receive the conviction by the Holy Spirit & even come to you for prayer. Be strong, for God is with you.

As regards `faith,` as I see it -

1. The people of Israel were to have faith in that God promised that He would send them a Messiah & that they would rule the nations. Jesus in the gospels reminds them of what God has promised for them.

2. Then the Body of Christ (not known before that) are to have faith in that Jesus is our head & that we will be kingpriests with Him in the third heaven.

Marilyn.




Hi Marilyn,

I'm thinking about what you said in the other post and will get to it later, concerning the bride of Christ.

This morning I was reading where Jesus said:

Quote:


18 Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”

21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. 22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”




Jesus says that with faith we can command a mountain into the sea. I know many quote this as meaning mountains or problems we have to deal with in our lives. But He is talking about a literal mountain when He is speaking to His disciples.

Then He goes on to say, "whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

God is not a man that He should lie, so if God tells us this is what will happen then it is possible. I think we put the limits on ourselves by rationalizing what is taking place around us and what others think.

No matter what happens we cannot deny the fact that Jesus did say this. Let's not forget who we are dealing with and that is God Himself.

I choose to believe what Jesus says, contrary to what my mind or circumstances say is or is not possible. Jesus would not give us a rock if we ask for bread, right?

All I am saying is if Jesus Christ is telling us His people something then it has to be true. No matter what camp someone finds themselves setting in, the reality is that God is the one who spoke these words.


Gary
