As I mentioned to you in the previous blog, I have been reading and totally enlightened by the writing of Charles S. Price's book, "The Real Faith."
Here's another 'nugget;
"We interpret the scripture, "Have faith in God," Mark 11:22 to mean that we have confidence in God's power to move a mountain. We say in our hearts, "If only I have enough faith in God...if only I can believe hard enough...and if only I can get doubt out of my heart, then God will move that mountain."
You are trying to do the impossible. Your faith would never be strong enough or pure enough for that, though you were to struggle for a million years. What a mistake to take our 'belief' in God and to call it "faith."
There is a big difference between the 'faith of man in God', and the 'faith of God that is imparted to man.' Such faith is not the child of effort, neither is it born out of struggle.
If it is 'faith of God,' then we get it 'from' Him, and not from our mental attitudes or affirmations. "Have the faith OF God." In other words, get some of God's faith, then when you have that, you will have the only power that can move mountains.
The second part of Jesus' statement ta;ls about believing with the 'heart' and having no doubts. The second is impossible without the first.You simply 'cannot' believe without until you have the "faith of God.
"It takes God's 'faith' to clean up these human hearts of all the debris, fears, misgivings and doubts.
At the end of His statement He says to be sure to 'forgive' everybody!
I will share more about forgiveness in the our next time together.
Until then, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you."
