6. Faith does not give you the answers, it only stops you from asking the questions

that is not the meaning of faith

Sermwell:

We are talking about the repients of the miracle!
Are you saying it is okay for one party to have faith and the other doesn't neccessarily need to have??

'We' you mean you? The topic is talking about reasons why we have faith and not about 'recipients', I'm saying that God honors faith. Our Purpose is to please God and we can do so by exercising faith, so it is very important all have faith. However, there are scenarios we cannot exercise or may not have enough faith mark 9;24 Gods GRACE is always enough. A lot has to play with miracles even as much faith is involved the whole if it is "GLORY TO GOD" to honor Him, to please Him.

God bless you

Faith is useless without works.... Heaven helps those who helps themselves.
Having faith does not mean you should be a zombie.

James 2:14-26

Faith Without Works Is Dead

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!

20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?

23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.

24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

I agree with you that faith without works is dead but need i remind u that the saying 'heanen helps those who help themselves' is not scriptural and does not apply in all contex.

CAPSLOCKED:

FAITH??
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

Faith means substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen......faith is the currency we trade with in my father's kingdom

5 Reasons to Have Faith

You know five. I know only ONE reason faith in God is important-- To please.

Without faith you can not please God. Hebrews 11...

Faith is not primarily to gain abundance.

I appreciate this write up...

The most important thing is for faith to be involved, which ever party has the faith. But faith is most effective in healing when both parties have faith.
