As we near the end of time, it is essential that our faith in the Lord be strong. Even as a mustard seed. Jesus ask in Luke 18:8 “…Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” -Luke 18:8 It will require faith in the word of God to make it in these last days. We will need to have had an experience in His word, knowing that His word is true and would not return unto him void. (See Isaiah 55:11)
From the Spirit of Prophecy, we read:
The word of God is the seed. Every seed has in itself a germinating principle. In it the life of the plant is enfolded. So there is life in God’s word. Christ says, “The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63. “He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life.” John 5:24. In every command and in every promise of the word of God is the power, the very life of God, by which the command may be fulfilled and the promise realized. He who by faith receives the word is receiving the very life and character of God. COL 38.1
The heavenly intelligences will work with the human agent who seeks with determined faith that perfection of character which will reach out to perfection in action. To everyone engaged in this work Christ says, I am at your right hand to help you. COL 332.2
As the will of man co-operates with the will of God, it becomes omnipotent. Whatever is to be done at His command may be accomplished in His strength. All His biddings are enablings. COL 333.1
Powerful promises, whatever God has asked us to do, Country Living, Victory Over Sin, Trusting Him, etc., we can do it in His strength, remember, “All His biddings are enabling.” And in the book of Philippians He has promised, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13
