No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Your faith is either in what your ears are hearing from Jesus, or your trust is in what your eyes are seeing around you. There’s no in-between. There’s either trust or doubt, faith or unfaith, ears on Jesus or not.

You live as dual citizens of earth and heaven. You live in this temporary world but you have also be given the world to come. You have in Christ Jesus, every bit of righteousness that God demands. You have in Christ complete and full forgiveness, life and salvation. Thus, the kingdom of heaven is yours by gift and promise.

“When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, ‘Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.’ But Simon answered and said to Him, ‘Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.’ And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.”

Faith does not come getting or giving earthly gifts. Faith comes only by the Word of God. Faithful Abram believed when the Lord spoke. Lazarus heard the voice of the Lord by Moses and the Prophets and believed. Such Spirit-given faith holds fast even as we pray with the Psalmist “How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will you hide Your face from me?”

The Spirit’s got one job. He’s the Paraclete, the Comforter, the Helper. He’s your Comforter, your Helper. That’s what He does for you, and He does it just like Jesus says, “He will testify about Me.”
