“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you … You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.” John 15: 7,16

F. B. Meyer affirmed the importance of grace-inspired faith:

All God’s fullness will flow through the tiniest channel that faith opens out on his almighty power. Faith is the open heart towards him, and through the channel of faith Christ lives in and through us. Hudson Taylor heard God say: “I am going to evangelize inland China and, if you will walk with will me, I will do it through you.”

D. L. Moody said that the beginning of his marvelous ministry was the remark made in his hearing: “The world has yet to learn what God can do through a man wholly yielded to him.”

It is not what we do but what God does through us that counts; and his mighty power, passing through the tiniest aperture of faith, keeps hollowing it wider.”

May we heed this admonition of Jude: “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit…” Jude 1:20
