  • T&M A NOMINAL FAITH NOT SUFFICIENT

    For I Yahvah thy Eternal will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Isa 41:13

    For a few weeks past I have had a deep sense of the promises of Yahvah and the hope of the Brethren. The Scripture never seemed to me so full of rich gems of promise as within the last few weeks. It seems that the dews of heaven are to fall upon us and refresh us, if we will only take the promises to ourselves. We can never overcome our own natural tendencies without the help of Eden, and the precious Yahvahosha places Himself right by our side to help us in this work. He says, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world, Mt 28:20. We want to believe just what Messiah has said. We want that our faith shall compass the promise.

    It is a great thing to believe in Yahvahosha. We hear many say, "Believe, believe; all that you have to do is believe in Yahvahosha." But it is our privilege to inquire, What does this belief take in? and what does it comprehend? There are many of us who have a nominal faith but we do not bring that faith into our character...We must have that faith which work by love and purifies the soul, that this belief in Messiah will lead us to put away everything that is offensive in His sight. Unless we have this faith that works, it is of no advantage to us. You may admit that Messiah is the Saviour of the world, but is He your Saviour? Do you believe today that He will give you strength and power to overcome every defect in your character?

    We have individually this lesson to learn of special trust in our Saviour. We are to trust our heavenly Father just as a child trusts its earthly parents, and believe that He is working for our good in all things; and that every struggling cry and every effort against the adversary of our soul enters into the ears of Yahvah of Sabaoth, and that He will send us help every time we need it. He will help us over every temptation if we call upon Him in faith. Now this is the lesson we must learn.

    I can trust my Saviour. He saves me today; and while I am struggling to overcome the temptation of the enemy He will give me unmerit  favour to conquer."

    PRAYER: FATHER, HELP US TO FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE CALL OUT TO YOU THAT YOU WILL HEAR AND ANSWER US. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. HALLELUYAH! Bro. Doc

  • @Lewis1122 - I believe Bro. Lewis when I pray and I have things that need changing, when I pray He will do it. I don't have to wait till death to be like Him.
    We can be like Him in many ways, but we can't be perfect as some teach or have no sin. But we should be trying to be like Him. Bro. Doc

  • Amen Bro Doc!! I believe "Do you believe today that He will give you strength and power to overcome every defect in your character”? I hear many claim we can only become like Christ after death, as the word tells us we can only obtain what we believe.  How can one place complete trust in any until they know them, it is our job to know the Lord.

  • @HUMOR_ME_NOW - Yes, Bro. Frank, if we have faith as a grain of mustard seed we can see mountains. And that would very small faith. Now if we have lots of faith we could turn the world upside down, and drive the devil out. Bro. Frank

  • Thanks Pastor. I guess if little faith can move mountains, great faith could change the world.

    Thanks for a good lesson this morning.
