Question

What kind of faith is Jesus looking for?

Answer

That’s what He’s trying to find tonight: somebody with childlike faith who will stand by and say, “Jesus, I believe You can do it.” If He can get somebody to do that, He will do it. But if you back off and say, “I don’t know, I just afraid; I know I believe You, but I—I don’t…” Oh, He can’t use you. If anything that’s helpless, as a spineless person who claims to be a Christian and afraid to stand on their convictions. God don’t want cowards like that; He can’t use them. Like old Buddy Robinson, I used to like—was reading his book; he was quite a man; he said, “Lord, give me the backbone the size of a saw log and give me plenty of knowledge in the gable end of my soul, and let me fight the devil as long as I got a tooth in my mouth, then gum him till I die.” That’s the kind of faith and determination we need: somebody who will do something. “At Thy Word, Lord.” Yes sir. At Thy Word, said, “At Thy Word, Lord.” “Whatsoever things you ask in My Name, that will I do.” Then “At Thy Word, Lord, here I come.”
