Who Am I? I Am Living by EVERY Word.

"These are days when we need to have our faith strengthened, when we need to know God. God has designed that the just shall live by faith. Any man can be changed by faith, no matter how he may be fettered. I know that God's word is sufficient. One word from Him can change a nation. His word is from everlasting to everlasting. It is through the entrance of this everlasting Word, this incorruptible seed, that we are born again, and come into this wonderful salvation.  Man cannot live by bread alone, but must live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. This is the food of faith. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."   ---Smith Wigglesworth, Ever Increasing Faith



What is the difference between a believer and an unbeliever?  
It is the hearing of the Word, the Light of God, opening their eyes and ears unto the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation of Jesus Christ.  



What happens when believers let the Light of God dim, and hearing dull? 
They begin to starve Spiritually.  The relationship with God takes a back seat, and as with any relationship that does not get quality time together, it withers away.  The believer begins go through the motions, as in a marriage where the man and woman begin to separate, go through the motions of marriage, and eventually come to a place where they do not know each other and divorce.  
Our faith is built through getting to know God by hearing and hearing His Word, spending time with Him, coming to a place of trust in Him...and following Him, both, willingly and obedient. (Isaiah 1:19)
