Faith in God - 10

Book Title: Come Away My Beloved by Frances J. Roberts
Love Never Faileth
"Behold I am the Lord, Thy God; is anything too hard for Me? I am the LIGHT of the world, and the greatest darkness shall never be able to quench [stop] that light. I shall be to thee a cloud to preserve [save] by day and a pillar of fire to protect by night. Both in the sunshine and in the darkness, I shall be near thee. Thou shalt delight in Me in thy joys; and in the place of difficulty My love for thee shall be as inescapably [cannot escape] real as a blazing pillar of fire. Yea, all I was to Israel, and more, I shall be to thee. For have I not promised to give thee the desires of thine heart, and the heathen for thine inheritance?

Let no fear hinder [stop you]. For he that wavereth receiveth not. But keep thine heart single [focus one thing] and every alien [wandering] thought thou shalt rebuke in My name, for it is of the enemy. For he knoweth full well that he has no defense against pure faith. Only if he can succeed to plant some seed of doubt can he hold back the blessing of heaven among the people of God and nullify [destroy] the witness to the lost. So hold fast thy profession of FAITH, for there is a great recompense of reward.(Or we may say, the inheritance of faith is a most rewarding recompense.)

"So praise Me continually, for Praise worketh Faith, and God inhabiteth the Praise of His People. If ever I seem to be far from thee, PRAISE! If ever darkness seemeth to press about thee, this know,--thou hast neglected to PRAISE ME. Love ME; pour out they adoration and worship. Be sure of this: LOVE NEVER FAILETH. Loving Me never fails to bring Me to thy side, He seeth Me most clearly who lovest Me most dearly."
Having Faith Has A Great Recompense of Reward
Hebrews 10:35-38
KJV: Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. NCV: So do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward. You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what He has promised. For in a very short time, "The One who is coming will come and will not delayed. The person who is right with Me will live by trusting in Me. But if he turns back with fear, I will not be pleased with him." Verse 39: But we are not those who turn back and are lost. We are people who have faith and are saved.
