I came across this quote from an old charismatic evangelist:<\/p>\n
We must remember that faith is not feelings, it is not sight. You do not exercise faith after the answer has come. It is then sight. You only exercise faith when you don\u2019t see anything, when you don\u2019t feel anything. When to the natural senses there isn\u2019t anything. Yet faith rests on something more solid than all that can be seen \u2013 the integrity of God\u2019s promise to the believer, His faithfulness to fulfill his word.<\/p>\n
