47. A Measure of Faith
Rom 12:3 For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him. God by His grace gives all of us faith God has given each of us a measure of faith Then we must grow our measure of faith and ability 48. Everlasting Glory
2Co 4:17 For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!], 18 Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting. We must crucify our lives every day more and more – The Glory will increase always 49. Faith energized by Faith
Gal 5:6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.
Only by faith activated and energized and expressed Activated – The Key Energized – The Dynamic Power of God Expressed – Groaning inwardly Working – Accomplish God’s deeds Love – Without Love we will fail 50. The Speak by the Spirit of Faith
2Co
4:13 Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak, [Ps. 116:10.] A Spirit of Faith = Person who is full of Faith A Person who trust God at His Word with out doubting A Person who act with great conviction because of the word of God Speaking out of strong conviction of the heart It will be done for Him

Isa 62:1 FOR ZION'S sake will I [Isaiah] not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until her imputed righteousness and vindication go forth as brightness, and her salvation radiates as does a burning torch. God make those who walk in His Word and Truth like burning torches 51.2 A Blazing Torch
Joh 5:35 John was the lamp that kept on burning and shining [to show you the way], and you were willing for a while to delight (sun) yourselves in his light.
