"Strong in faith."-Romans 4:20

Christian, take good care of thy faith; for recollect faith is the only
way whereby thou canst obtain blessings. If we want blessings from God,
nothing can fetch them down but faith. 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. Let that angel be withdrawn, we can neither send up prayer,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 be 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 on her dear Refuge leans by faith. But take
faith away-in vain I call to God. There is no road betwixt my soul and
heaven. In the deepest wintertime faith is a road on which the !
horses of prayer may travel-ay, and all the better for the biting
frost; but blockade the road, and how can we communicate with the Great
King? Faith links me with divinity. Faith clothes me with the power of God.
Faith engages on my side the omnipotence of Jehovah. Faith ensures
every attribute of God in my defence. It helps me to defy the hosts of
hell. It makes me march triumphant over the necks of my enemies. But
without faith how can I receive anything of the Lord? Let not him that
wavereth-who is like a wave of the Sea-expect that he will receive anything
of God! O, then, Christian, watch well thy faith; for with it thou canst
win all things, however poor thou art, but without it thou canst obtain
nothing. "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that
believeth."
