The Question of Faith

God can, but will He?

The faith of the mustard seed

                        The fall of Satan (Isaiah 14:13-14)

I will ascend into heaven

I will exalt my throne

I will sit upon the mount

I will ascend above the heights

I will be like the most High

Empty promises.  Rev 20:10 ends the career of Satan.  Isa 14:24 also

                        Establishing the Nation of Israel (Exodus 6:6-8)

It was stated at Gen 12:1-3:  "A land I will show thee", "I will bless thee"

I will bring you out

I will rid you out of their bondage

I will redeem you

I will take you to me

I will be to you a God

I will bring you into the land

I will give it to you

Why? "and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God"

                        Preserving the Covenant (Ezekiel 34)

God says "I Will" about 20 times

I will deliver, seek, gather, bring, feed, judge, save

I will make a covenant of peace

Why?  So they'll know I'm with them and that they are my people

                        The Willing Shepherd -- Jesus says:

Mat 8:3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Jhn 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Jhn 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Jhn 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Jhn 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Why?  His will is His way.  He is. "I am that I am"  Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
