James 1:6
King James Version
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.
For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed.
Not all Canaanites as idolatrous.
Scripture showed there are exceptions.
This blog also aims to reveal that.
The first one we encountered was this woman.
Scripture tells us the story:
Matthew 15:21-27
King James Version
21 Then Jesus went thence,
and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold,
a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts,
and cried unto him, saying,
Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David;
my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
Matthew 15:21-27
King James Version
23 But he answered her not a word.
And his disciples came and besought him, saying,
Send her away; for she crieth after us.
Matthew 15:21-27
King James Version
24 But he answered and said,
I am not sent but unto the lost sheep
of the house of Israel.
Matthew 15:21-27
King James Version
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said,
It is not meet to take the children's bread,
and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord:
yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters' table.
Pleased with her answer, JESUS responded:
Matthew 15:28
King James Version
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her,
O woman, great is thy faith:
be it unto thee even as thou wilt.
And her daughter was made whole
from that very hour.
Mark 7:29-30
King James Version
29 And he said unto her,
For this saying go thy way;
the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house,
she found the devil gone out,
and her daughter laid upon the bed.
Faith is truly this:
Hebrews 11:1
King James Version
11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
When JESUS returns, He wonders:
Luke 18:8
King James Version
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh,
shall he find faith on the earth?
