The man or woman who inspires faith is constructive.  They are builders.  We know that God’s only machinery for creation was His Word.  In that Word was the faith of God expressed.  It is a strange thing that we have not been taught that our words can be filled with either faith or unbelief, or cold speculation; we have not realized their effect on the hearer! It is our words that build up great organizations and institutions.  It is...

Mark 11:24 says, “When ye pray, believe that ye received; and ye shall have.” If you have always had people pray for you, then all you have is sense knowledge.  You have trusted in other people’s faith.  You have been a spiritual hitchhiker! You need to trust the Word for yourself.  Otherwise, you have been a leaner rather than a burden-bearer.  You have leaned on other people.  Get to know your authority over sickness and...

This week I am going to call His attention to the needs of the brethren who are sitting in the darkness of sense knowledge, while they pray for faith and seek for power.  I am going to find out how they can be helped to see the Light of Life, for I remember the Master said in John 8:12, “I am the light of the world:  he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” I must go to sit with Him...

Heb. 4:14: ...

Rom. 4:17: “Before him who he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth things that are not, as though they were.” God calls the things that are not, as though they are, and they become. Abraham said, “Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken.” Abraham had a battle against [natural] hope.

As Jesus was Master of the devil, so I am in His Name. I was raised together with Christ. I have in me His resurrection ability, His resurrection life. I am a Master. (Eph. 1:22) says, “And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.” The Holy Spirit who has come to make His home in my body is guiding me into all the reality of the wealth that has been given to me in Christ. He is...
