Remember, faith is the only way you can obtain blessings. Prayer cannot draw down answers from God's throne except it be the earnest prayer of the man who believes. Faith is the angelic messenger between the soul and the Lord Jesus in glory. If faith is withdrawn, we can neither send up prayer nor receive the answers. Faith is the telegraphic wire which links earth and heaven--on which God's messages of love fly so fast that before we call, He answers, and while we are yet speaking, He hears us. But if that telegraphic wire of faith is snapped, how can we receive the promise? Am I in trouble? I can obtain help for trouble by faith. Am I beaten about by the enemy? My soul leans by faith on her dear refuge in God. But take faith away--in vain I call to God. There is no road between my soul and heaven. Faith links me with divinity. Faith clothes me with the power of God. Faith engages on my side the omnipotence of Jehovah. Faith insures every attribute of God in my defense. It helps me defy the hosts of hell. It makes me march triumphant over the necks of my enemies. But without faith how can I receive anyting of the Lord? Let not him that wavereth expect that he will receive anything of God! "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9: 23).
