| "Being Tossed About Because Of Doubt" |
| " ISAIAH 7:9 " Surely, if you do not BELIEVE; you shall not be established. My friends: I hope to take a few moments to explain why so many peoples prayers are being unanswered. The above scripture is the foundation in which all things are done in, through, and by CHRIST. God said that without faith (the leaning of your entire human personality in God's wisdom, goodness, and love), it is impossible to please God. We must believe that he is GOD; and he is a rewarder to those who diligently seek him. People stop believing when they turn away from God's timing and try to make things happen on their own. This is why so many hopes and dreams are going unfulfilled. God's timing is TIME-LESS! The bible tells us to BE STILL and know that HE IS GOD! We are to let go, and let GOD. Our problem is in the WE HAVE TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW MENTALITY! All the promises of GOD are in CHRIST and they are, YEH & AMEN! Not one word of GOD'S promises have ever failed. When we get determined to lose our patience and pursue our wants and needs, apart from GOD; there is only frustration and dissapointment. MK.9:23- If you can BELIEVE: ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to those who BELIEVE. You have to put your absolute confidence and trust in the LORD'S POWER! JESUS himself said that even the devils believe. Believing in GOD is one thing! Believing and confessing and trusting in GOD is completely different. Pride keeps people from letting go and letting GOD: but remember that GOD said that pride goes before the fall. GOD knows your every need and desire before you even ask him. The LORD takes great pleasure in the prosperity of his people. It is GOD'S will for us to prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers. You cannot get in line with GOD'S will until you get in line with GOD'S WORD. In the beginning was the WORD; and the WORD was with GOD; and the WORD was GOD: And the WORD was made flesh and dwelt among us. JESUS CHRIST IS THE WORD! No my friends; it is not GOD keeping his blessings from you: It is your very own pride and unbelief! Do you realize that GOD compares unbelievers with murderers? Rev.21:7,8- He that overcometh shall inherit ALL THINGS; I will be his GOD, and he shall be my son: BUT the fearful and UNBELIEVING,and the abominable,and the MURDERERS,and whoremongers,and sorcerers,and idolators, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the SECOND DEATH! Now can you see the seriousness of unbelief? DEUT. 29:9- Keep therefore my commands and DO THEM so that ye may PROSPER in ALL that you do. Romans 8:31- If GOD be for us; then who can be against us? Prov. 4:20-22- Keep my words and put them into your heart; for they are LIFE unto those that find them; and HEALTH unto their flesh. Isaiah 40:31- They that TRUST in the LORD for help; shall have their STRENGTH renewed. JOHN 20:29- Blessed are they that have not seen, yet BELIEVE! 2 Co. 5:7- We walk by FAITH; not by sight! I pray that as you are rooted and grounded even more in CHRIST JESUS; that the eyes of your heart be flooded with light; and that all spiritual wisdom, understanding, and insight, becomes a reality as you stay in close fellowship with JESUS CHRIST! Amen & Amen! Alan D Mays 1Co.15:10 |
