but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”

“once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers”

It is a lamentable thing that self will fall short in many areas... But in the failing and in the falling short are the lessons learned on what not to do... As well as is the lesson learned, on what to do, and that is, the turning to Him.....When once one has turned from whatever the distraction was to God, when the other has been turned from, one’s heart has been put in the place where it can encourageand strengthen the fellow believers....

For in the turning of the heart to God is the fruit produced and it is the fruit that is the food for strengthening and encouraging oneself as well as one’s brethren....

For it is a turning from the other, (which is always a manifestation of self), to God, be that other, whatsoever it might be...For fruit, which is a fresh and new and deeper manifestation of Christ, is brought to the heart that has turned from the other, whatever and wherever that sin might manifest itself...

For all sin is something other that has the heart....For in the turning of the heart is the growing... In the growing is the giving...

For in the turning of the heart to God, is the righteousness of God manifested through that life to a greater degree...For in the degree righteousness is manifested, to that degree Christ is manifested...

For in the large and small our faith is tried...For in our turning to God in the ever present now...Not waiting for our thoughts to justify or condemn, just in response to the moving of the Spirit in us, is faith doing its greatest work in us at that particular moment of time...

For faith is the workman in us, by it we have access to Him, working to conform us to the image of Christ....Where faith does not fail, faith does it’s highest work...

Be blessed all in the faith that fails not, and than in the turning to Him..
