Faith Acts
Genesis 12:4 says, "Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran." Abraham obeyed. He did not stop between the two great rivers, Tigris and Euphrates—a rich, luxurious, tempting area. At that point in time the greatest civilization on the face of the earth was located right there. God said, "You go west young man." and He did not give give him a map. He just said, "Go" and Abraham started going. If you think that was easy, you have missed the whole story. I have seen parts of the excavated city of Babylon in the British Museum. It had paved streets and sewage running underneath the streets, and I have seen gold work they have brought up from deep down in the earth. It is beautiful filigree gold work.
It was a great city, and rich Abraham had to sell his property and leave town, his kinfolk, his friends, and everything he held dear. What is faith? When you hear the voice of God, you act. You say, "Yes, Lord, I'll do that."
I have met literally dozens of people that said, "God told me to do something, but I didn't do it." I shudder when a person says a thing like that. Since I was 17 years of age, I do not remember being out of the will of God, for the simple reason that when God told me to do something, I never discussed it with anybody. I just did it. God told me to go out and preach and I left home with 65 cents. Some of you would have waited for $50, and you would still be there waiting. When He said, "Go around the world,"
I sailed out of San Francisco with twelve $1.00 bills all the money I had in the world. It is ACTION that God likes. It is movement that God wants. That is faith!
My faith begins to act without compromise in Jesus name. Amen!
