An Understanding faith is the life prayer. It is a great mistake, however, to struggle to produce a lively faith within yourself. That can only end in failure. The thing to do is to act as though you had faith. Act out what you wish to demonstrate, and you will be expressing true faith. This is the right use of the will, scientifically understood.
…Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, it shall be done (Matthew 21:21).
This statement of Jesus is perhaps the most tremendous spiritual pronouncement ever made. Jesus knew the law of faith and proved it many times. We shall move mountains when we are willing to believe that we can, and then not only will mountains be moved, but the whole planet will be redeemed and re-formed according to the Pattern in the Mount.
Acting on our faith is where the rubber meets the road. It is in acts that we find faith’s fruition. Forgiving those who hurt us, showing tolerance to those with which we disagree, facing the truth when it is the hardest and speaking it when its most difficult are all ways to act on our faith. Showing compassion to the despised, making ourselves vulnerable and refusing to yield to wrongheaded social pressures are other ways to act on our faith. When we act according to God’s will, our faith becomes real.
In faith,
