THE FAITH THAT DELIVERS

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..."

Can one’s faith fail? Yes it can, if not Jesus would have been lying. What does it mean for your faith to fail? Firstly, I believe it means your faith did not deliver the expected results. What would make your faith to fail?

The first thing is wavering or staggering:

Rom 4:20(KJV)
“He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief…”

“No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God...” (AMP)

From the above passages we see that unbelief, doubts and questions will make a man’s faith to fail and not deliver the expected results.

Let me say a little bit about questions. The Scripture says in Romans 10

Rom 10:6-7

“But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)”

The faith that delivers does not ask questions that raise doubt or unbelief, it is not interested to know who will do what or how will such and such happen. It only believes and speaks.

Your faith shall not fail in Jesus name.
