You will never know whether something works unless you try it. You will never know whether the electricity is on unless you put your hand on the switch and switch it on; you have to take some action to prove that it works. So with faith. It is useless just sitting there talking about faith if you do not live by it and if no one can see what it means to you. It is useless talking about living by faith when your security is in your bank balance, and you know you can draw on it whenever you choose to do so. It is when you have nothing and can step off the deep end and do the seemingly impossible because your faith and security are rooted and grounded in Me, that you can talk about living by faith and be a living demonstration of it. Go ahead and put your faith to the test and see what happens!
我永遠都不會知道某件事物是否有效，除非我去嘗試它。我不會知道是否來電了，除非我將手放在開關上並打開它；我必須得採取某些行動去證明它的有效。關於信念也是這樣。僅僅只是坐在那兒談論信念是毫無用處的，如果我不活出它，如果沒有人能夠看到它對於我的意義。
當我的安全感都在我的銀行儲蓄上，並且我知道我能夠在任何我想要的時候取出它時，談論活出信念是無效的。它是當我一無所有時，突破極限，做到看上去不可能的事情，因為我的信念與安全感都深深地扎根於上天，那時我就可以談論以信念為生，並且成為一個活生生的示範。
前進吧，檢驗我的信念，然後看看會發生些什麼！
