Our faith is essential to receive from God.  (See the studies “Bible Miracles Explained,” “What Jesus Means by Faith,” “G154 To Call For,” and “Gospel of Kingdom of God.”)  1 Timothy 6:12 (below) says that faith is a fight.  Since it is our faith that brings us miracles, our faith fight is important.  In a fight, we can win or lose.  If Aaron and Hur had not shot that rod back up, the Israelites would have been slaughtered (Exodus 17:8-13).  It is no fun to be like the seven sons of Sceva (Acts 19:13-16), nor to be like Peter who wobbled while walking on water, earning Jesus’ comment of “ye of little faith” (Matthew 14:22-32).
