1 John 5:4 - For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world - even our faith.

Romans 10:17 - So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

True faith is a gift of the God. (Ephesians 2:8). Grace is a divine influence given to a seeking heart by the God as He reveals His Word (Himself) to us. The Life of Jesus Christ shows us all of the attributes of God throughout the Bible.

Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

In every trial, real faith will know that HE will use it for HIS glory as HE reveals Himself to you in it. Union and rest is continually seeing, by faith, Jesus as the Vine from which Love flows through us (branches) for others when we allow HIS pruning (cleansing). As long as the branch knows it has no independent life of its own and exists only to bear the fruit of the Vine, HIS resources will flow. It is a continual surrendering our rights and wishes as the Lord deals with them. HE is then able to bring forth HIS fruit on the branch. As we pour ourselves out for others HE will pour HIS Life into us.

The choice of hearing is up to us. Do we really want to hear from God? The only reason that HE does not speak is when HE knows we will not obey. HE knows our hearts and whether we will obey or not. We will hear HIM if we are willing to obey and be a true disciple (Luke 14:33). When HE gives a command HE also gives the provision and power to carry it out as we abide in HIM. We will be victorious and more blessed in giving than receiving. This world’s pleasures last only a moment but HIS Joy will last forever and can be experienced even in sorrow or suffering now.
