This episode focuses on a serious but often overlooked spiritual danger: when faith slowly turns into presumption.
At first glance, they look alike. Faith believes God can move mountains. Faith trusts His promises. Faith stands firm. But presumption hijacks that language and runs with it… without relationship, without reverence, and without surrender. In Charles Spurgeon’s Morning by Morning devotion for May 25th , and he writes: “It is not faith to test the Lord, and expect that He will deliver when we are acting out of step with His will. Faith is obedient; presumption is self-willed.”
Let that sink in. Faith is obedient. Presumption is self-willed. In many circles today there’s no room for sanctification, no willingness to be pruned. Just momentum, branding, and hustle — baptized in Bible verses. Charles Spurgeon reminds us that the promises of God are not licenses for recklessness, but assurances for the obedient heart.
