There was a reason why God kept the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years. God wanted them, who lived as slaves in Egypt for a long time and whose slave mentality was imprinted in them, to be liberated through “only Gospel” and to grab hold of the evidence of the sure Word. Likewise, with a mature attitude of faith, you must hold onto the evidence of the Word. Then, what are the evidences?

1. Imprint God’s Works
If faith is planted, then faith will grow. Likewise, if unbelief is planted, then unbelief will grow. Following that same principle, answers will come according to what is imprinted in you. In addition, you mustn’t worry; instead, become imprinted with God’s work of salvation that completely delivered you from Satan, curses, and the background of Hell.

2. Be Rooted and Possess the Nature of the Word That You’ve Experienced
Until now, you’ve experienced God’s Word under His protection. Now, you must hold onto the Word that you’ve experienced as your evidence and lay roots. More importantly, take God’s Word regarding the future and make it your nature. Everyone has his or her God-given time schedule. For the sake of that day, personalize the covenant and break down the areas in your life that are blocked.

There will be times when you fall into crises and have conflicts with people. During those times, don’t waver; instead, constantly stay close to “only Jehovah God” and firmly grab hold of the accurate covenant. In doing so, God will surely give you the one-hundred-year answer.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, help me believe in and obey Your Word as is. May the Word of salvation and the covenantal message become my imprints, roots, and nature. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Kind of Faith Do You Possess?

When things work out smoothly and people receive what others acknowledge as profitable, they become happy and testify, “God has given me answers.”
On the other hand, when problems and crises come,
people resent God and fall into despair saying, “Why does God answer everyone but me?”
1 Corinthians 3 states that this kind of faith is immature like a child’s and is only “carnal.”
Take a closer look at Job. Even though he lost all his wealth and his family and became diseased, he still confessed, “The will of God is constant and does not change.”
Job’s confession even made Satan kneel. In terms of faith,
does yours resemble an immature child’s or is it closer to Job’s? Today, as you examine your faith, discard all unbelief and once again hold onto the covenant.
