This is the boldness which we have toward Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us. I John 5.14. Faith only operates freely within the province of the will of God. Outside of that will we may cry, believe, act in faith, and a great deal more, without perceptible result; God is not backing us. Trying to believe along some line of our own, we shall only prove that mountains of faith cannot remove a single mustard seed of difficulty! God will not be responsible for what we undertake on the basis of our own good intentions. His power is invested in His will. Get things right there, and we may have boldness in the face of the biggest testings. For "He heareth us." ----- Robert W.
