I have seen that they are true, for they have been fulfilled to me. I believe all the promises of God, but many of them I have personally tried and proved.
CHEQUEBOOK OF THE BANK OF FAITH TRIAL
To the cheering Scriptures I have added testimonies of my own, the fruit of trial and experience. The sight of the promises themselves is good for the eyes of faith: the more we study the words of grace, the more grace shall we derive from the words. To help my brethren to believe this, I have prepared this little volume. God has given no pledge which He will not redeem, and encouraged no hope which He will not fulfill. This is not the fault of the promise, but of those who do not act with it in a common-sense, business-like manner. Some fail to place the endorsement of faith upon the check, and so they get nothing and others are slack in presenting it, and these also receive nothing. If the date should happen to be further on, he must patiently wait till its arrival but meanwhile he may count the promise as money, for the Bank is sure to pay when the due time arrives. If he has come to Heaven's bank at the right date, he will receive the promised amount at once. He must plead it by prayer, expecting to have it fulfilled. This done, he must believingly present the promise to the LORD, as a man presents a check at the counter of the Bank. He goes further, and believes that he has the blessing in having the sure promise of it and therefore he puts his name to it to testify to the receipt of the blessing. He sets to his seal that God is true, and true as to this particular word of promise. He is to take the promise, and endorse it with his own name by personally receiving it as true. No, he is to treat the promise as a reality, as a man treats a check. It is not meant that he should read it over comfortably, and then have done with it. It is given to the believer with the view of bestowing upon him some good thing.
