Kneeling We Triumph Volume One: Hold God’s s Character True

Posted on by

We, as Christians, often hold a distorted conception of faith which is far from the Biblical original. In Kneeling We Triumph Volume One, Edwin and Lillian Harvey have brought many aspects of prayer to our attention. One of these is the necessity of a total faith in God and in His promises to us which is a prerequisite to effectual prayer. The following quotations, taken from the writings or sermons of God’s saints, emphasize this truth:

“To aim aright at the liberty of the children of God requires a continual acting of faith—of a naked faith in a naked promise or declaration. By a naked faith in a naked promise I do not mean a bare assent that God is faithful, and that such a promise in the Book of God may be fulfilled in me, but rather a bold, hearty, steady, venturing of my soul, body, and spirit upon the truth of the promise with an appropriating ACT!”
—John Fletcher.

“Our limitless trust in God seems to satisfy Him as nothing else can do, because it corresponds with His eternal faithfulness, it honors His veracity, and is a constant silent worship of all His perfections. God forever honors those who believe Him. He has organized us on a pattern of trust, and not to trust ourselves in God is to derange the very plan of our creation. Faith in God is at once the sweetest necessity, the sublimest duty, and the greatest privilege of a creature toward his Creator.”
—G. D. Watson.

“The first requirement of prayer is to believe.
Believe that God is and that “he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him.”
Believe that God is alive and therefore has power—not only for
Peter’s deliverance, but for ours.
Believe that God is love and that He cares for His own.
Believe that God is power and therefore no power can stand
against Him.
Believe that God is truth and therefore cannot lie.
Believe that God is king and that He will never abdicate His
throne or fail in His promise.”
—Leonard Ravenhill.
