Faith vs. Human "Wisdom"

"Great faith is the product of great fights"

"How can one come to possess great faith? Now listen...here is the answer to that: first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn In the ear. Faith must grow by soil, moisture, and exercise."

"Fear looks, but faith jumps. Faith never fails to obtain its object. ...faith is an act."

Quotes by Smith Wigglesworth

"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
Hebrews 11:1

"Faith does not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power."
1 Corinthians 2:5

"We live by faith and not by sight."
2 Corinthians 5:7

Simply put, faith is things that are hoped for that are yet unseen. Do you know the Word says in Romans 14, that "everything that does not come from faith is sin"?
What is more "logical"? For we know that "all things are possible through Him who loves us".
Unbelief is sin because really, folks, who and how can one have the audacity to doubt or be double minded about what the Creator of the Universe, the One who is Uncreated, the Always and Forever Immanuel, God-with-Us, The Shoreless and Bottomless Ocean, the One who has hung the planets and stars in their orbits, who loves us with a burning love and jealousy that is more intense than white phosphorus ignited ? It's not faith in ourselves, He just wants us to know unequivocally, that He is more than able! That's why the Word says that "without faith it is impossible to please God!" Does anyone like to be doubted, especially when they are seasoned and proven? Of course not.
Have faith, beloved, whatever the situation or need, He is more, much more than able!
