This is his heart desire,UNTIL GOD PUT HIS DESIRE in Joseph Heart,by means of a Dream.. Joseph

Q3. (1:5-8) How do trials help cure us of "doublemindedness"? How do trials help us grow in faith? Answer: 1 How do trials help cure us of "doublemindedness Now we know that indeed we are a Child of GOD. Hebrews 12:7-8 - If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?8 -But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 3." How do trials help us grow in faith? Luke 17:5-And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. Faith is one of the most important virtues that God has for man.It is the only one,stated bt the Bible as both FRUIT and a GIFT, of the Spirit. FAITH as FRUIT-Galatians 5:22-23- 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. FAITH as GIFT-1 Cor 12:8-10- For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another. Grace alone cannot save us,for Grace has appeared to all men(Titus 2:11- For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,)..,YET WE KNOW NOT ALL MEN ARE SAVED. It need a combination of FAITH and GRACE for any man to be saved(Eph 2: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:) I think Faith is not something that will grow,I think that we have all the same measure of Faith,from God(Romans 12:3 -For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith)...and it depends How we use that Faith,in our daily life,whether we are tempted or not.. His disciple ask Jesus to increase their Faith in Gospel of Luke: Luke 17:5-And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. But Jesus reply: Luke 17:6- And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. I think what Jesus mean here,is that We don

Instead of Adam,admitting His Sin,He reasoned with God and try to justify His Act and instead point to other people as the one responsible..HOW TRUE ALSO IN THIS TIME.. 2. Does God tempt us with evil? NO!God dont want us to Sin,and in Fact give man pointers not to disobey Him,in a very Clear language..
