When asked to write down phrases and words that come to mind when she heard or thought of FAITH Sis. Shirley Dowd of Friendship, Harviell wrote the following:
- All growth in our spiritual life depends on faith.
- Impossible to please or have any walk without faith.
- The shield of faith is as bias as God himself.
- Free grace, free pardon, change of heart, comfort poured in , satisfies our heart, great gain thru faith.
- With faith, we become well pleasing to God. Without faith we have NO fellowship.
- Everything of God hinges on faith.
- Faith supplies our greatest wants, delivers from our greatest danger and admits us to our greatest glory.
- A waiting faith is rare.
- If you are without faith, you are in a fearful state.
- To be nothing and let Him be everything.
- Weapon of prevalence, shield of safety, substance of hope, evidence of eternity, passport to glory.
- Sins are cleansed, carried away, drowned in the sea, blotted out behind God’s back.
- A precious promise as great as the demands of our sins.
- Thru faith, God is ALL sufficient!
- We are clothed and dressed in his righteousness, once aliens, now saints and will live in the household of God.
- Heirs of God, joint heirs of Jesus Christ, never taste death, just fall asleep.
- We have the harps of heaven, streets of glory, trees of paradise, river of life, eternal bliss.
- You are rich thru faith. What treasures, what a gold mine, what oceans of wealth. What mountains of sparkling treasure, all because of faith in God.
- Faith, first sure sign of a spiritual life. All JOY of a spiritual life depends on faith.
- When God comes, He will not look for riches, honors or abilities but he will look for our faith.
Will he find faith on earth at His return? He will search for even a mustard seed size of faith.It is necessary for us to believe MUCH or we will do LITTLE for God. I Corinthians 2:5, “Our faith should not stand in the wisdom of man but in the power of God.” Faith for me is the bliss of ever beholding the face of God. If the church ever has faith enough to expect great things, she will see great things.
