When you are saved, God gives you faith to rise from the muck of the earth. Your faith overcomes the things of the world. What is your faith? Your faith in that act that God has did in you, to make you a son of God. You quit your lying, you quit your stealing, you quit your drinking, because your faith rises you up above it. Amen. If you don’t do it, you don’t have any faith. “And by faith are you saved, and that through grace.”
As much as your faith will be released, that’s how much Power you can have, because in you dwells the Power to make Heavens and earth. God dwells in you, and you are sons and daughters of God. Amen! There you are. But, it’s your faith. Jesus said, “According to your faith, be it unto you. If thou canst believe, all things are possible. Verily, I say unto you, if you say unto this mountain, ‘Be moved,’ and don’t doubt, but believe that what you have said.”
Then what kind of people ought, we to be, having faith in this great redeeming Christ that lives in us, this smitten Rock that never leaves the Church? “I am with you always, even to the end of the world,” the ever-Presence of the great gusher of salvation and Power that poured forth from Calvary into the Church, the ever-Presence of the living God, the great flowing, smitten Rock that goes with us in our journey.
