THE FAITH THAT WILL
NOT TAKE NO FOR AN
ANSWER
Hebrews 11:33-35; Matthew
15:21-28;
9:20-22.
There comes a time in life when
nothing else
will rescue or bring deliverance
from a
dangerous and desperate situation
except the
faith that will not take no for an
answer.
There are different levels of faith,
but the faith
that will not take no for an answer
stands
high in a class by itself. The Woman
of
Canaan manifested this kind of
faith when for
three times she refused to give in
both to the
Lord's silence and His two
statements of
denial until The Lord saw and said
"O
woman, great is thy faith: be it
unto thee
even as thou wilt." (Matthew
16:28). That is
the faith that has an unbendable
'will' for
answer and solution from The Lord
by all
means and at all cost. "as thou
wilt". It is the
kind of faith founded on a resolute
decision
from within like the Woman with
the 12 years
issue of blood who "...said within
herself, If I
may but touch his garment, I shall
be
whole." (Matthew 9:22). This was
why all the
pressures and setbacks from the
crowd could
not stop her till she had secured
the touch
that made her whole. This faith
speaks in
prayer like Jacob "... I will not let
thee go,
except thou bless me." (Genesis
32:26).
The faith that will not be denied
does not
only pray till The Lord responds, it
resolves
to pay any price it will take while
willingly
