Pride is the enemy of faith.


Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:12


There is no faith but the faith of Christ. Only by His faith, which is a living faith, that is His life, can we be righteous. We are not exhorted to try to do as well as He did, or to exercise as much faith as He had, but simply to take His faith and let it work by love and purify the heart and soul.

Justified by the faith of Christ, we have Him personally dwelling in us, exercising His own faith.
All power on heaven and earth is His. Allow Him to exercise His own power in His own way.

Victory over sin is already a reality; faith makes it real to us. Loss of faith puts us outside of reality and the old body of sin, that was destroyed by faith, looms up and is built up again by unbelief. This is a present and personal matter with each individual.

Let Him live in us, in His own way, understanding that I am the one He lived and died for. Not only lived for us but lives in us. There is no middle ground, we are either all Christ's or none of His.

Only God is good. If ever there is good in us, it is God working in us. So, by faith we receive the Lord and He lives His perfect law in us. Our faith in Him (His faith in us) makes His victory ours. He was made to be a curse for us, so we are freed from all necessity of sinning.

All God's gifts are in themselves promises of more; there's always much more to follow.

God doesn't make bargains with men because He knows that they cannot keep their part.

We give Him ourselves, which is nothing, and He gives us Himself, which is everything.

The Holy Spirit is Christ Himself dwelling in the heart by faith. All that God requires, He gives. 


Every fibre of man cries out for Christ – the Desire of all nations. Haggai 2:9.

Only in Him can relief be found for the world's unrest and longing. I am swallowed up, only Christ is then seen.


“The faith of Jesus.” It is talked of, but not understood. What constitutes the faith of Jesus, that belongs to the third angel's message? Jesus becoming our sin-bearer that He might become our sin-pardoning Saviour. He was treated as we deserve to be treated. He came to our world and took our sins that we might take His righteousness. And faith in the ability of Christ to save us amply and fully and entirely is the faith of Jesus. 3SM 172

Everyone has a measure of faith. The word of God is to be believed only, even against the word of God. He doesn't want any to move in uncertainty. Faith is ever increasing. If it is not of faith it is sin. The just live by faith. “Faith that worketh by love.” 


God cannot lie, He speaketh – it is. Everyone who measures their progress by feeling is an evolutionist. If I read it in His word, it is what He will do instantly for me. When we live a life of faith in God's word, thus pleasing God, this will bring us into such a close relationship with the Source of all wisdom that we cannot fail to know the things that are hidden from the wise men of the earth. 


Faith tried is more precious to Christ than all the gold and jewels of earth. Thank Him for it. Use it and never lack. 


Keep the faith of Jesus. Live by faith, not feeling.
