Faith and the Divine Grace

Faith

Faith is spontaneous knowledge in the psychic.

*

Faith is a certitude which is not necessarily based on experience and knowledge.

*

Faith--confidence in the Divine and the unshakable certitude of the Divine's Victory.

*

It is good to have this unshakable faith--it makes your path easier and shorter.

*

True faith does not depend on circumstances.

*

Faith in spiritual power must not depend on circumstances.

*

A faith based on material proofs is not faith--it is a bargaining.

*

Faith first, knowledge afterwards.

*

They who have faith will go through.

*

It is indispensable to keep the faith and the will to conquer.
