why faith fails

[Haipule]

This video is spawn from the subject matter discussed in the last. It has to do with why faith fails/why God does not answer prayer.

I am unable to watch the video at this time but, faith is a belief system. Belief systems do not work whether someone "believes" in God without understanding Word or, science without understanding nature. The Greek word translated "faith" is pistos and means: trust, what you trust, what you place your confidence in. It is a noun of action. It is a substance and is not blind. 

At times in my life I felt like I was asked to walk off a cliff and onto an invisible bridge. Yet, according to Paul and Timothy in 2 Cor 5, we walk by pistos and not by sight. The Word of God is, "The guide to my feet and a light to my path".

This has been an amazing adventure! Like a rollercoaster with amazing assents and descents and blind turns you don't expect. Yet, always directed to be at the perfect place, at the perfect time in history to be in perfect places and wham! That is the story of my life.

Jesus never asked anyone to "believe" in Him. He always used present participles which means to: keep on trusting Me. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

As far as answered prayer, God always answers my prayers, but in the negative. Yet, NO is a legitimate answer! Joking aside, always go to God as His son, as an equal, as Jesus did. Do not merely ask, but command, as Jesus did, demand or beg. Ask all things according to His fame of all that He is(NOT name? Can God do it?). Always go boldly to Him and give it the amEn if you wish. Which in Hebrew means: SO-BE-IT! Ballsy is required. Or, completely done-in and hopeless--begging. The only wrong way to pray is not to pray.

Always remember, you are not here to glorify God. The bible says the God's intention is to glorify you. "Those He calls...He glorifies". Because, if you look good to others, He looks good to others and that is what it means to be a witness, or testimony, of God's glory and power. 


Always remember that we are anointed. Which is to say, we have a God given purpose and a God guaranteed destiny.


People always ask me, "Why does God bless you sooo much?" I asked God the same question. He said, "Well Bill, it's just that you remind Me sooo much of my Son!"  


I must be doing something right!
