Faith cometh by hearing the word of God, and God will always meet faith. And what is faith? Why, that s the question: what is faith? I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. I m often troubled when I pray for the sick. Just recently I had that experience again. I met some saints not anybody that s here; now, don t feel bad; I m not pointing right at you, see: somebody else but saints. I was praying for the sick, and talking faith, and praying faith, and God was there. And these saints talked unbelief. You d be surprised how much unbelief is hanging on us. The Bible talks about the sin that doth so easily beset us. It sticks to us. Die klebt uns an. Grad wie die Kletten; das ist Unglaube. It s unbelief. And you d be surprised what mountains of unbelief there are in the saints. You don t find it out until the cat bites them, or a dog barks at them, or something else happens and they really have to believe God. Why, then their faith is gone absolutely gone.
