| Show metaphysical TRUTHS we promised last week to speak ot of FAITH and what it means in its fullest sense and meaning do you realize how many kinds of faith are practiced that Is how many dicesare ti tl cesare followed which are CALLED FAITH we hear of the faith of a little child such as was expressed last week in the story of the little child who took her umbrella to I 1 church when her elders prayed for rain rain if the truth were known this kind of faith is the only TRUE F raith AITH but of ourse course we know that we must do more than just sit and wait for the rain or tov for whatever it may be that we pray for the trouble with the he average person of today is that ye we ask for too many things and we therefore become CONFUSED IN OUR THINKING that is in our impatience to receive of that for which we ask we change our minds and ask for something else which we THINK MAY BE GRANTED GRANTE D MORE QUICKLY another fault which prevents the fulfillment of that fo for which we ask is the fact that we ask for too few things which will bring happiness to others and concentrate principally ON THOSE THINGS WE WOULD HAVE FOR OUR OWN COMFORT AND WELL BEING think this I 1 through and aal the next time you ask for something be sure that it is no not for SELF but for something in relation to others many people think hat bat they are arc doing a tine fine job of asking when they ask for things for their families and in this way that they are NOT ASKING FOR themselves although ibey know very well that they as a ii member IC of the amily WILL participate IN THE RESULTS Is this not another form of camouflage and a form of asking which is UNWORTHY OF fulfillment r NT paul tells us is that faith is the substance ol of things I 1 honeo for the evidence of at than things gs not no spen sen in other t we may VISUALIZE THE THING FOR or asked for and we ml 1 KNOW that these thee thes the e things will be grafted in contrast to this statement is another passage in the bible raith without wr I 1 dead THAT i WHERE THE RUB COMES IN also because so many things s asked for are for SELF anti and not net for the good of all SELF to my way of thing ing embraces FAMILY AS WELL for were we ro not t toll told by ing his ministry on part parth I 1 I 1 th that a t w we MUST FORSAKE FAMILY AND WE holt HOLD DEA DEAR R even ev eiriS as H ht As order to TRUE FOLLOWERS fw AGAIN n W 4 As aa aw aul wul tear I 1 0 over V er these theae look 0 o erinnes frences relating liti to FAITH and ilie results abt obtainable a friable y you oll win will fled find MUCH TRUTH IN THI THE IA LATTER E 9 statements RATHER THAW THAN IN THE thea FORMER BLIND FAITH la 13 all tight but there is TO IT than we realize for we ve must keip keep ever in mind that FAITH WITHOUT WO WORKS 1 IS DEAD 1 I 1 in in one of the recordings af pf an early i date refe reference Js also made in the following words to the above statement taken from james this is literal truth no matter how you interpret the word works on the one hand unless you see results in work accomplished you give lied lie to tile statement stater rint nt this may apply elther either way you wish to interpret it on the other hand unless you set for yourselves a difficult goal of ae ac whether it be in I 1 n thought word or deed meaning something to WORK toward you might as well eliminate the word faith from your vocabulary this would seem to make it clear that as much depends on the one ASKING FOR HELP as on the GIVER OF ALL GIFTS and to me it means also that UNLESS ONE IS WILLING TO BACK UP A PRAYER WITH THE willingness TO EARN WHAT IS ASKED FOR ONE IS UNWORTHY OF consideration IN ANYWAY whatsoever the reference to come with the faith ot of a little child Is also mentioned in this recording in this manner to come with wilh the faith of a little child means that you must submit ab yourself to your father which is in heaven just as a little child submits to its parents the desire of its lie heart art the paragraph goes on to depict the he ganv instances however when parents break faith with their children and continues with these words many of you are being tried in the fires of disbelief now because of your failure to keep faith with others you promise something which you have every desire to fulfill but you de pendon yourselves as human beings to fulfill the promise made and you lose sight of the fact that vou DRAW YOUR POWER TO DO FROM THE GREAT SOURCE or OF ALT ALI POWER WISDOM AND ENERGY you go as far as you can with your human mc mechanism elian ism and sooner or later you must acknowledge defeat that is unless you cuple your faith in yours self with recognition of the great source from whence comes all your supply and a above b 0 p all UNLESS YOU WILL GIVE THANKS IN accordance WITH THE THING YOU DESIRE that is in proportion to the request or demand you make thial also on these things dear friends and next week we will v ill go a san further in this disco lirse on faith to be continued |
