Faith That Changes Things Faith and Wisdom 6/1/25 We should not judge The Word of GOD by our circumstance but, judge the circumstance by the WORD of God   Do not let circumstances determine our steps of faith but let WISDOM determine our steps of faith.   FAITH AND WISDOM ARE FRIENDS FAITH and KNOWLEDGE DON’T HAVE TO BE ENEMIES “Faith does not have to be “kept in the dark” because faith is not hindered by the knowledge of the circumstance. ….Faith allows us to be aware of the problem without being obsessed by the problem.” Philip Steele- Every Day is a Faith Day   Mark 9:17 kjv 17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. HE USED the INFORMATION  WISELY   WHEN you gain information…seek God’s wisdom Faith and common sense don’t have to be enemies, if doing what you know to do, doesn’t contradict the wisdom of FAITH   -When you are given information concerning a circumstance take that to God in prayer: James 1:5-AMP  If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. 6 Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind. 7 For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord, 8 [For being as he is] a man of two minds (hesitating, dubious, irresolute), [he is] unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything [he thinks, feels, decides].
