“FAITH IS ACTUALLY THE CONNECTION, NOT THE RESOURCE!” Faith actually; 1 Samuel 3:18; And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, it is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good. When Samuel was telling Eli what the Lord said, he said it in a connective way. Acts 17:28; For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 1 Samuel 3:19; And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. Samuel’s faith was his connection. It wasn’t just for resources. It didn’t waver, it was connected. It was his relationship. Hebrews 10:23; Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 1 Samuel 3:20; And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-Sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord. Faith the connection; James 1:25; But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. “FAITH IS ACTUALLY THE CONNECTION, NOT THE RESOURCE!” 1 Samuel 4:2; And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men. Faith has to have the connection; James 2:26; For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 1 Samuel 4:4; So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. This is a prime example of, if such a thing can be. Of having faith without the life, but it’s associated with the resource. Hebrews 11:6; But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 1 Samuel 4:10; And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. When faith lacks the connection that is the relationship; James 2:18; Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. “FAITH IS ACTUALLY THE CONNECTION, NOT THE RESOURCE!” Galatians 2:20; I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. The above shows a faith so connected, it’s a being; 2 Corinthians 5:7; (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) “FAITH IS ACTUALLY THE CONNECTION, NOT THE RESOURCE!” Teaching! Overseer/Apostle
