The Prayer of Faith...

Faith has nothing to do with feelings or with impressions, with improbabilities or with outward experiences.

 

 If we desire to couple such things with faith,

then we are no longer resting on the Word of God, because faith needs nothing of the kind.

 

Faith rests on the naked Word of God. When we take Him at His Word, the heart is at peace.

 

George Mueller

 

What a testimony from a man whose life sure backed

up these words!

       1805-1898

 

       Among the greatest monuments of what can be accomplished through simple faith in God are the great orphanages covering thirteen acres of ground on Ashley Downs, Bristol, England. When God put it into the heart of George Muller to build these orphanages, he had only two shillings (50 cents) in his pocket. Without making his wants known to any man, but to God alone, over a million, four hundred thousand pounds ($7,000,000) were sent to him for the building and maintaining of these orphan homes. Near the time of Mr. Muller's death, there were five immense buildings of solid granite, capable of accommodating two thousand orphans. In all the years since the first orphans arrived the Lord had sent food in due time, so that they had never missed a meal for want of food.
      
       At the age of seventy, George Muller began to make great evangelistic tours. He traveled 200,000 miles, going around the world and preaching in many lands and in several different languages. He frequently spoke to as many as 4,500 or 5,000 persons. Three times he preached throughout the length and breadth of the United States. He continued his missionary or evangelistic tours until he was ninety years of age. He estimated that during these seventeen years of evangelistic work he addressed three million people. All his expenses were sent in answer to the prayer of faith.

 

" Be careful for nothing;

but in every thing by prayer and supplication

 with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."

 

Phil. 4:6
