Faith and Prayer…
In that great faith chapter of Hebrews 11, the writer says: 39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. So what is faith? Faith adds its “yes” to what God has already spoken. Faith lets God finish the work that He started. Faith says “I believe” and patiently waits for God to do His part.
He prayed that Peter’s Faith Would not Fail
Jesus said that Peter would fail, but He prayed that Peter’s faith would not fail….
from Luke 22: 31 And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift [you] as wheat. 32 “But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to[Me, strengthen your brethren.”
Just by Faith…
Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after being encircled for seven days.
Amen!
Heaven Rules
Hearing His Word
Luke 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word.
42 “But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.
So what is that good part? The good part is hearing the words of Jesus and following Him. Notice that Mary was not just serving she was cooperating with Jesus in his ministry.
Brought You Unto Myself.
Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
Sometimes we cannot pray and God just brings us to Himself.
