Trust and Believe

A missionary in the 1920’s by the name of Saunders who worked in Africa witnessed a great demonstration of the healing power of God.

One of Saunders’ converts was a native man by the name of Edward Lion, a man who as a native didn’t wear clothing, was illiterate and had no knowledge of the ways of God. But as Saunders began to disciple him, Edward grew in faith and became knowledgeable of God’s ways and learned the teachings of the Bible and grew greatly in the faith that God was offering him through a greater work of the Holy Spirit.

God gave Edward, this once naked illiterate native, an anointed measure of faith, where on one occasion a multitude of sick people had been brought and were collecting in a valley to be tended to. That faith, by the power of God, rose up in Edward. He went up on the mountainside and, looking down on the sick below, stretched out his hands over the multitude and poured his heart out to God.

Within minutes, hundreds were healed as God’s healing power fell upon them and they walked out of the valley healed because of the power of God and a man willing to be used of God.

God never changes, but man does. If you are going to do great things for God, you have to believe. You have to trust. You have to obey.

And God will make a way.
