「起來,...我們已經看過那地,見那地甚好。你們為何靜坐不動呢?要前往得那地為業,不可遲延。...神已將那地交在你們手中;在那裡,地上的百物俱全,一無所缺。」-士師記18:9-10我們該對於神的應許有放膽取用的信心,我們必須認識:神的話句句都是我們的產業。
有個孩子被人問到什麼是取用的信心,他回答說:「就是拿出鉛筆,在聖經裡所有的『我』和『我的』下面劃線。」
你可以隨意的取出主所說過的任一句話,手指著說:「這句是對我說的」。
神的話語裡有多少可以兌現的「成了」?有多少可以簽收的應許:「在我身上應驗」?
「孩子,你始終和我同在,我一切所有的都是你的。」(路加福音15:31)千萬別糟蹋了你豐厚的產業!
「信心上街時都會帶著菜籃。」
"Arise . . . for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good; and are ye still? Be not slothful to go, and enter to possess the land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of anything that is in the earth" (Judges 18:9, 10).Arise! Then there is something definite for us to do. Nothing is ours unless we take it. "The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance" (Joshua 16:4). "The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions" (Obad. 17). "The upright shall have good things in possession."
We need to have appropriating faith in regard to God's promises. We must make God's Word our own personal possession. A child was asked once what appropriating faith was, and the answer was, "It is taking a pencil and underscoring all the me's and mine's and my's in the Bible."
Take any word you please that He has spoken and say, "That word is my word." Put your finger on this promise and say, "It is mine." How much of the Word has been endorsed and receipted and said "It is done." How many promises can you subscribe and say, "Fulfilled to me."
"Son, thou art ever with Me, and all that I have is thine." Don't let your inheritance go by default.
"When faith goes to market it always takes a basket."
