Now let me help you. I must be truthful concerning the things I have learned from observation and personal experience. Many years ago God called me to live a life in the Spirit and to walk absolutely by faith without any human contract or relationship, simply to trust Him. Naturally He had to teach and school me in the ways of faith. In those years of abiding and walking in the Spirit and trusting Him for every last thing I had, without any human element to lean upon or to assist me, I had to learn how God does things. Out of the abundance of the heart my mouth speaks, and this is what I have discovered to be a workable philosophy for my Christian experience in faith. This is adequate for me and it works.
If you do not care to follow this way, you may go along and bump your head and get into all sorts of frustrations and defeats, if that is your choice. But I would like to save you a few hard raps; save you the confusion you get into when you refuse to do what God has told you because of false religious habits and unscriptural teaching over a period of years.
As for me, I found that these traditional ways were fruitless; so I got out from under them. I dared to believe what the Lord said whether or not the people before me had believed it, and by practicing this for many years I have not found one place in which it has failed. It has operated perfectly every time. It is a law which does not change. All my praying would not change it. “Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
