Eternal Life

The free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23).

So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift (Romans 4:16).

Receive God’s gift and say thank you.

Brilliant, bright and beautiful flowers that don’t work. Or worry. Yet God cares for them.

He will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? (Matthew 6:30).

On Faith and Forgiveness

He had every reason to be angry and bitter. His brothers expected revenge.

But Joseph said, “Am I in the place of God? You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good (Genesis 50:19-20).”

Forgiveness follows faith.

 

Pray for those who will believe

More than 2,ooo years have passed since Jesus prayed, “for those who will believe in me (John 17:20).”

Some still have not believed.

Join with Him and pray for them.

A Symbiotic Relationship: Belief and Prayer

We believe, so we pray.

We pray, so God answers.

God answers, so we believe.

Because I Believe

Faith expresses itself in prayer and obedience.*

*J. I. Packer, Knowing God, p. 278

 

What does the prayer of faith accomplish?

Whatever God can do, faith can do, and whatever faith can do, prayer can do when it is offered in faith.

Pray and pray again until the answer comes.*

*A.W. Tozer, Mornings With Tozer, October 21.

 

Faith and True Prayer

Faith and true prayer are like two sides of the same coin—they are inseparable!

Men may, and often do, pray without faith (though this is not true prayer), but it is not thinkable that men should have faith and not pray.*

*A.W. Tozer, Mornings With Tozer, October 21.

Abraham’s Faith

Abraham’s faith was strengthened before God fulfilled His promise. Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed. He was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he promised (from Romans 4:18-21).

Strong faith doesn’t depend on answers to prayer.

Pray with Faith

Unbelief asks, “How can this be possible?”
Belief says, “Nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37).”

Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer except those things outside the will of God.*

*L. B. Cowman, Streams in the Desert, p. 250.
