Book Cover & Preview Text
These all had faith in God to see victorious deeds done through them by God.
I cried out loudly to God, “Lord, I believe! Help me through any unbelief!”
Then, as I continued to read on, I felt the presence of God and knew He was speaking to me through His Word in an unusual way.
“Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground. These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised,” Hebrews 11: 36-39
What! I could not believe what I was reading! Why had I not notice this before? What I am reading here is not victorious faith! These people were tortured, poverty-stricken, sick, and some even killed! And yet they all have “gained approval through their faith”!?
The Lord spoke gently to me, “Brian, sometimes I chose to allow my children to go through rough, trying, persecuting and difficult times and do not deliver them from it. Instead, I give them a faith to endure.” I heard Him then ask me, “Brian, are you willing to bear anything, go through any hardship if I allow it in your life to bring me glory? It may be difficult, but I will give you the faith you need to endure.”
