FAITH COMES BY HEARING
By
Mother Ann Wilson

Faith is not solely the result of Human effort, for it comes by hearing the word of God preached. The Bible teaches that a person is responsible for his response to the Word of God. He has the ability to believe or disbelieve. He can accept or reject the Gospel. “But,” he cannot believe without hearing, if he is to believe at all. Faith alone is not salvation, but it is the channel by which salvation is obtained. I Pet 1:9. We are saved by Grace through Faith, Eph, 2:8. Grace is the basis of salvation, but faith alone without works, is of no value, James 2:17. He has laid the foundation, opened up the way what more can He do? He is only the savior. Salvation is in Him and on other.

By Him we obtain forgiveness of sins. FOR THE PROMISE IS UNTO YOU, AND TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND TO ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF, EVEN AS MANY, AS THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL CALL. Acts 2:39. And Peter goes on to tell us, to save ourselves from this untoward generation. Not all are going to hear, not all are going to keep the faith. But God has somebody that is going to walk up-right, and will hold on to the Word of God, knowing, THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER, FOR THE GOOD OF THEM THAT LOVE GOD AND ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE: Romans 8:28.



Faith comes by hearing, and after hearing, we must act. Faith is accepting the message of the Bible as Truth. The Lord will give to us, Men and Women in our day to help us to Understand the Word of God. He sees our daily needs to walk by faith. He is always present to supply our needs, “IN MULTIPLYING, I WILL MULTIPLY THY SEEN AS THE STARTS OF HEAVEN, AND AS THE SAN WHICH IS UPON THE SEA SHORE.” Gen. 22:17. Only by faith can we get these things from God. Faith, Faith, just a little more Faith we don’t need a whole lot, just use what you got. I have said so many, many times to my own self, Help Me Lord, to have the faith I should have, because you are the one that is working it out in my life. Help me to hold out with my faith and believe. Mark 9:24. Then when God gets ready, He has already made a way out, All that is require of us is to have faith and believe. And my soul cries out, LORD, I BELIEVES, HELP THOU MINE UNBELIEF” Mark 9:24. Then when God gets ready, He has already made a way out, All that is required of us is that we have faith, and just believe. In these days and times that we live in, God can still do it, JESUS CHRIST, IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOR EVER. Heb. 13:8. Our Faith must be tested by God. He knows what is in us. Don’t give up now; The blessings are on their way. We have been willing to sacrifice, all of what we have loved most, to please God. And the best that we have done is NOTHING. But He knows the heart, yet this we can say; HE HAS TESTED OUR FAITH, AND WE SHALL COME FORTH AS PURE GOLD. Job 23:10. Can’t you see the Hidden meaning of His commands! You the light shall gain, “Walk on in Faith clinging to His promise, leaning, and You and I continue on our Journey. All shall be made clear. TRUST IN THE LORD, WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND LEAN NOT TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. Pro.3:5 A wise man once said, When your Faith is being tested, the best way to get back on your feet, is to start on you Knees. Walk on in Faith, children. AMEN!
