Mind, Character, and Personality Vol. 2 - Second Advent Revival

persecuting Jesus in the person of His saints, he accepted the truth as it is in Jesus. A
transforming power was manifested on mind and character, and he became a new man
in Christ Jesus. He received the truth so fully that neither earth nor hell could shake his
faith.--ST, June 5, 1893. (1SM 346.) {2MCP 539.3}
Faith a Mighty Healer.--Faith is a mightier conqueror than death. If the sick can be
led to fix their eyes in faith upon the Mighty Healer, we shall see wonderful results. It will
bring life to the body and to the soul.--MH 62 (1905). {2MCP 539.4}
Daily Exercise of Faith.--I find that I have to fight the good fight of faith every day. I
have to exercise all my
540
faith and not rely upon feeling; I have to act as though I knew the Lord heard me and
would answer me and bless me. Faith is not a happy flight of feeling; it is simply taking
God at His word--believing that He will fulfill His promises because He said He
would.--Lt 49, 1888. (HC 119.) {2MCP 539.5}
Faith Works.--When you look to Calvary, it is not to quiet your soul in the
nonperformance of duty, not to compose yourself to sleep, but to create faith in Jesus,
faith that will work, purifying the soul from the slime of selfishness. When we lay hold of
Christ by faith, our work has just begun. {2MCP 540.1}

overbearing, nor can he use harsh words, and censure and condemn.--MS 16, 1890.
(6BC 1111.) {2MCP 540.2}
Molds the Life.--The life is molded by the faith. If light and truth is within our reach
and we neglect to improve the privilege of hearing and seeing it, we virtually reject it; we
are choosing darkness rather than light.--GC 597 (1888). {2MCP 540.3}
Faith Promises Success.--We shall have success if we move forward in faith,
determined to do the work of God intelligently. We must not allow ourselves to be
hindered by men who love to stand on the negative side, showing very little faith. God's
missionary work is to be carried forward by men of much faith and is steadily to grow in
force and efficiency.--Lt 233, 1904. {2MCP 540.4}
Faith Purifies the Soul.--Faith, living faith, we must have, a faith that works by love
and purifies the soul. We
541
must learn to take everything to the Lord with simplicity and earnest faith. The greatest
burden we have to bear in this life is self. Unless we learn in the school of Christ to be
meek and lowly, we shall miss precious opportunities and privileges for becoming
