WHAT CAN MAKE FAITH FAIL?

Luke 22:31-32

"Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail..."

We are still answering the question what can make your faith to fail.

“Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.” Hebrews 12:15

“Look after each other so that not one of you will fail to find God's best blessings. Watch out that no bitterness takes root among you, for as it springs up it causes deep trouble, hurting many in their spiritual lives.” TLB

“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace…” Romans 4:16

Notice that it calls the grace of God, God’s best blessings in the Living Bible translation. 
So when the grace of God fails in my life, I have failed to find God’s best blessings. Now ultimately what makes one fail to find God’s best blessings, it is when your faith fails. 
But what is responsible for it is allowing root of bitterness to stay in you, that is, walking in unforgiveness. Unforgiveness will truncate your faith. This means your faith might be alright when you started out, but along the way you allowed unforgiveness into your heart and did not deal with it. 


This will make your faith to fail and it will not deliver to you the blessings of God. This is why Jesus said when you stand praying, forgive… But I will add that when you are on the walk of faith, also forgive immediately you are offended.
