馬太福音 7:7「你們祈求，就給你們；尋找，就尋見；叩門，就給你們開門。

民數記 23:19 神非人，必不至說謊；也非人子，必不至後悔。祂說話豈不照著行呢？祂發言(應許)豈不要成就呢？
Numbers 23:19 NIV “God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?”

約翰一書 5:10 「…不信神的，就是將神當作說謊的…。」

「當神特別應許某件事時，我們有義務相信，當我們禱告時，我們就會得著。你沒有權利在神的應許中加上一個『如果』，說；主啊，『如果這是你的旨意……』這是在侮辱神！ 如果你這樣做，這就等於是在指控神不真誠。」－查理斯．芬尼

“When God has especially promised the thing, we are bound to believe we shall receive it when we pray for it. You have no right to put in an ‘if’, and say, ‘Lord, if it be thy will…” This is to insult God. To put an ‘if’ in God’s promise when God has put none there, is tantamount to charging God with being insincerity.” －Charles Finney

「有些人禱告求聖靈的澆灌/復興，卻沒有期望會得著。聖經說，…不信神的，就是將神當作說謊的…(約一5:10) 這就是最大的罪。「指控神會說謊」是何等大的污辱和䙝瀆！」－查理斯．芬尼(Charles G. Finney)

「絕對沒有“主不會供應你的需要“這回事。主的應許沒有“如果”或“也許”；主的應許都會出現“必”這個字。」－史密斯．維格氏維爾
“There is no such thing as the Lord not meeting your need. There are no “ifs” or “maybes”; His promises are all shalls.”－Smith Wigglesworth

「在神沒有任何不可能的事情。一切的不可能都是出於我們，因我們用自己不信的限制來衡量神。」－史密斯．維格氏維爾(Smith Wigglesworth)

“There is nothing impossible with God. All the impossibility is with us when we measure God by the limitations of our unbelief.” －Smith Wigglesworth

“There is no such thing as seeking without finding.” －Smith Wigglesworth 「絕對沒有尋找而尋不見這回事！」－史密斯．維格氏維爾

「如果在聖經裡有的話，那就是真理。真理不應該被禱告看看是否成就。真理需要被接收並採取行動。什麼也不做是偷竊祝福的強盜。加增來自採取行動，藉著使用我們所擁有和知道的真理。你的人生必須是從信心到信心的生活。」－史密斯．維格氏維爾

“If it is in the Bible, it is so. It’s not even to be prayed about. It’s to be received and acted upon. Inactivity is a robber which steals blessings. Increase comes by action, by using what we have and know. Your life must be one of going on from faith to faith.” －Smith Wigglesworth

「神的應許不需要被禱告看看是否成就，神的應許是用來領受的。若你只是帶著禱告看看的心態，這就是完全的不信和懷疑。」－史密斯．維格氏維爾

「神的應許永遠不會失敗。」－史密斯．維格氏維爾

“God’s promises never fail!”

民數記 23:19 神非人，必不至說謊；也非人子，必不至後悔。祂說話豈不照著行呢？祂發言(應許)豈不要成就呢？

Numbers 23:19 NIV

“God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act?

Does He promise and not fulfill?”

「你必須學會禱告的緊迫性，不只是在於迫切的懇求更是在於迫切的相信。那些最相信耶穌慈愛和大能的人，將會在禱告中得著最多。」－羅伯特·麥切恩（Robert Murray M’Cheyne）

“Learn that urgency in prayer does not so much consist in vehement pleading, as in vehement believing. He that believes most the love and power of Jesus will obtain the most in prayer.” －Robert Murray M’Cheyne

詩篇 9:10 耶和華啊，認識你名的人要信靠祢，因祢(從來)沒有離棄尋求祢的人。

Psalm 9:10 NIV “Those who know your name trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You.

「懷疑說: 如果…會怎麼樣? 」，信心說:「即或不然」。 (但以理書 3:18 NIV) 信心說，「即使」我死了，我也會信靠神並事奉神！」（但以理的三個朋友）－馬強盛／顏美娟夫婦

“Doubt says “what if…”, faith says “even if”. (Daniel 3:18 NIV)

Faith says, “even if” I die, I will die trusting and serving God! (see Daniel’s three friends)” －Johnson and Pearl

但以理書 3:18 即或不然，王啊，你當知道：我們決不侍奉你的神，也不敬拜你所立的金像！」

馬太福音 14:31 耶穌趕緊伸手拉住他，說：「你這小信的人哪，為什麼疑惑呢？」

Matthew 14:31 NKJV

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

「絕對沒有尋找而尋不見這回事！」－史密斯．維格氏維爾

There is no such thing as seeking without finding.

「信心就是相信神會遵守他對你的應許。」 –T.L.奧斯本
