Mixed with Faith

Don't waiver in the waiting. Instead, let it be a time that God speaks to you and encourages your faith in Him and in His promises. Don't forget what His word says- It says that He is well able to do all that he has promised. The Bible is one promise after another.  

Let us take up our faith and receive those promises. When we do this, we are giving life to the seeds of promise that God plants inside of us. 

When God speaks, be bold to believe and ready yourself to receive. The greater always gives to the lesser. Promises mixed with faith are powerful beyond our own understanding.

Hebrews 4: 2 For indeed we have had the glad tidings [Gospel of God] proclaimed to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came to them]; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with [c]the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; [d]neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe).

Romans 4: 20 No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God,

21 Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.22 That is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God).
