How can the body suffer deficiency or lack when its provisions are, apparently, resident to it?:

"From Whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." (Ephesians 4:16)


We must be as ready/willing to be the answer to prayer as to pray:

"If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
And one of you say unto them, "Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;" notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?" (James 2:15-16)


Faith is a verb - the manifestation of 'action':

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)


Like love, faith must be demonstrated...tangible:

"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." (James 2:26)


"Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth." (1 Corinthians 10:24)


--Boundless blessings.

I agree! We should certainly be constantly aware of the whisperings of the Spirit in order to be of help to those the Lord sends our way or to those to whom we are to reach out...all bundled in love and faith.
