faith
trusting His way? Do you see yourself living a beautiful stress-free life?
He is saying that you can have that right here, right now in this life, not
just in Heaven… And no, this life is not in utopia either! We already
have it. Like gravity and electricity. We only need to apply the principles
and laws.
I am living this kind of life now and whenever I find myself stepping
out of this truth, I remind myself of what His Word says and the peace
and freedom is restored. I am writing this book to share with you what
He taught me.
Faith is a law/principle
A law, according to Merriam Webster Dictionary, is the revelation of
the will of God set forth in the Old Testament (the beginning).
A principle, based on the Cambridge dictionary, is a basic truth that
explains or controls how something happens or works.
As I have mentioned in the previous section, gravity and electricity
always existed, but we did not understand them and their power until
we understood the principle and/or law behind them. The Bible says
that “Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has
been made.” 4
This is important to understand because this is the confidence that we
have in our relationship with God: If we ask for anything in agreement with
His will, He listens to us. And yet we know that He says, “So shall My word
5
be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accom-
plish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” 6
