Mat 9:29  Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be
it unto you.
Matthew, "according to your faith be it unto you".

Luke 8:11  Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

2 Tim 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
" All scripture", is profitable.
Prov 30:5  Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put
their trust in him.
"Every word"

Mat 8:8  The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that
thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my
servant shall be healed.
"speak the word only", we do like Jesus did, follow the Lamb,(Rev
14:4)orJob 34:33  Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense
it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore
speak what thou knowest.

Mat 12:36  But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

I am not saying "name it and claim it or ,blab it and grab it" not the
sin of covetousness, only speak God's word, believe His promises. When I
was baptized in Jesus name, it was very important that the name of Jesus
was spoken, it was and I inherited the promise, I believed what God said
thru Ananias, in Acts 22:16  And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be
baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
I called, Jesus heard, and baptized me with the Holy Ghost. You see
someone, who just happened to be a UPCer, told me about the relationship
between Acts 2:38 and Matt. 28:19. How it's the "name" of the Father,
and of the son and of the Holy Ghost, and of Col 3;17, And whatsoever ye
do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks
to God and the Father by him.
You see, Brother Matthew, I believe the "Word of God", I may not
understand it all, and I don't, but what I do understand, I live by. For
we must live by every "word" according to, Mat 4:4  But he answered and
said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Your servant for Jesus sake,
Steven Hall
