This faith is rooted in the belief that God cannot fail and that He is always on time, with the resources already prepared. It is a faith that enables believers to face seemingly impossible tasks with confidence, knowing that God is able to provide. Jowett encourages his audience to trust in God's provision and grace, even in the midst of challenges and sacrifices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HEBREWS xi. 17-22. "Accounting that God was able." That is the faith that makes moral heroes. That is the faith that prompts mighty ventures and crusades. It is faith in God's willingness and ability to redeem His promises. It is faith that if I do my part He will most assuredly do His. It is faith that He cannot possibly fail. It is faith that when He makes a promise the money is already in the bank. It is faith that when He sends me into the wilderness the secret harvest is already ripe from which He will give me "daily bread." It is faith that "all things are now ready," and in that faith I will face the apparently impossible task. And thus the "impossible" leads me to the "prepared." The desert leads me to "fields white already." The hard call to sacrifice leads me to the "lamb in the thicket." "God is able," and He is never behind the time. The critical need unveils His grace. Faith goes out on this invincible reliance. It is "the assurance of things hoped for." And by faith it inherits these things and is rich and strong in their possession. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/john-henry-jowett/invincible-reliance/ ========================================================================
