Why does God bless us more when we believe?

God blesses more when we believe because faith pleases His heart more than anything, and unbelief is what He holds most strongly against mankind. Believers appropriate His abounding grace, wisdom, and prudence by faith, not by feelings or sense alone.

Les explains that God has given believers all these things freely, without requiring them to grovel in the ground, climb steps to St. Peter, or cross the ocean; they are given here and now, abounding and more than we can handle. The way to appropriate them is by faith, not by always feeling or sensing it, but by returning to the Word and believing it. Les teaches that the more we believe, the more God will bless us, because nothing pleases God's heart more than the faith of a human being. Unbelief is what God will hold in the strongest light against mankind, and faith is its opposite. He also notes that Christendom's problem is lacking this kind of wisdom, so many may be saved but flounder in ignorance of the Scriptures.
