FAITH DOESN'T GIVE UP!

...for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you (Matthew 17:20).

Sometime ago, a young lady narrated how disappointed she was with God for not answering her prayer. According to her, she had prayed for her sister to receive healing, and did everything she knew to do, yet her sister died. She believed she had faith, but couldn't understand why she didn't get the results she expected.
Faith always works; if it didn't work, then it wasn't faith. God is always disposed to answering our prayers; the problem is always on the received end. This dear lady said she did everything she "knew to do", yet her sister died. Notice that she didn't say she did everything she was supposed to do, according to the Word of God. That's different from doing all that you know to do, because all you know may not be enough.
A lot of people just don't know what to do when trouble strikes, and because they lack the right knowledge, life whips them. That's why we teach, so people can know more of the Word of God. With adequate knowledge of God's Word, when the day of crisis comes, they'll know what to do. This lady was limited by the death of her sister, and she became disappointed at God; she thought God failed her. But that couldn't be true; God never fails! Death isn't the end.
Remember the story of Lazarus (John 11:1-45); the Lord Jesus was unruffled when He arrived four days after Lazarus had been buried! Nothing was too late or impossible for Him! He merely stood at the entrance of the cave, and called him by name: "Lazarus come forth!" and he came back alive. Faith never gives up.
When you didn't get the results you wanted, it wasn't God that disappointed you; rather, He was waiting for you to do something with the faith He gave you. He told us to cast out devils, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and raise the dead. So, it's up to you to effect changes in your world, and create your victorious and triumphant life by acting on the Word. Never give up on your faith, no matter the circumstances.

CONFESSION:
My spirit is strengthened and enlightened; the entrance of God's Word into my spirit produces strong faith; and as I meditate on the Word, my victory, success and prosperity are assured, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
*Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)
By Faith We Understand
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
*Mark 9:23 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

DEFEAT ME BECAUSE I AM PROGRAMED FOR VICTORY!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

Yup, like it says in Hebrews 11 of the KJV 1611Holy BIBLE Faith is the substance of things hoped for....
It is nice ot actually have SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, and EVIDENCE of things not seen. It says that by this the elders obtained a good report.
How often on the news are bad reports and our report card, how many of us squirmed when we got it?
Or if someone has said they would report so and so, yes, FAITH is very good and faith working in us and coming to fruit IN our works showing to thers that what we believe and trust in is REAL.

God always answers prayer. The young lady's problem was she did not understand that God is not her servant obligated to do what she wants. Paul had faith but that did not mean God healed him when he asked 3 times. God's plan is perfect. Our prayer requests aren't.

FAITH DOESN'T GIVE UP

I'm confused why a post would have such a heading? Any one that has faith KNOWS,faith in my view any way,does not need endless quotes.my faith is pure acknowledgement,of believing without doubt there is a god! Any one that would want god in there lives,wold tire and give up trying to believe,after reading so many quotes! Should it not simply read if you don't have faith, don't worry,god won't give up on you? Maybe then it would make people Maybe want to read the great book ,my bible,instead of quote upon quote with no reason to be confused,as I am with such a catalogue of quotes,as many no already. Maybe a quot onreading the bible would be better
