Room For Doubt "?"

ROOM FOR DOUBT “?”

There are so many of we Christians today who ask of God while not really believing He will hear and answer. You might ask, is that okay? One would think the answer is a simple large NO! It really isn’t that simple. Think of your own experiences with petitioning God for some realized need. How many times did you not receive the answer that you sought? Did you then doubt that God even heard your cry for help? Do we ever rise from our knees of prayer knowing that our doubt blocked our faith? The answer is complicated to the point of simplicity.

The daddy of doubt is Satan. Will we give him room to lay doubt on our plate and like it? There is no place in the word of God that you will read f doubt being Godly or profitable. We may sometimes prosper while doubting but it of our own doings and God cant help. If we doubt His power or purposes, we make him a liar. He said he was able to keep His sheep if they doubt not. We can’t wallow in doubt and expect his blessings upon us. Nor, can we work effectively if we doubt our spirit fed ability to reach sinners.
Doubt not that your faith may be strong. A good friend of mine once said that you couldn't believe half way. It’s all or nothing. God requires Christians to believe.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (“For we walk by faith, not by sight:”) Where doubt festers in the soul Christians experiencing such, walk a thin wobbly line. It is our knowledge and full belief in the shed blood of Christ was for our atonement that solidifies us as His children and heirs to His kingdom. We go on our belief of the truth of the basics of Christianity. That is faith and as light repels darkness, faith repels doubt. Matthew, Mark and Luke expressed it in this manner:

Matthew 21:21
“Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.”

Mark 11:23 |

“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”

Luke 12:29
“And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.”

I don’t think that leaves ant ‘doubt’ that we were to have strong faith and doubt not. God is pleased when we know that we know He is truth and the devil a liar. We can only truly Know God by great faith.

Romans 1:17

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”

Living by faith must come from a humble spurt not having ought toward any one and loving thy brothers and sisters as you love your own self. If the spirit that lives as Jesus Christ dwells in you and you in Him, there can be no doubt. Rom. 1:17 “as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” We must believe, believe, believe… Paul to Timothy wrote:

1 Timothy 2:8 |

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.”

Romans 14:23

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”

The thrust of this verse lies in the last clause. If we operate without faith in being God’s children and as such blessed with His assured care we sin!

The answer to “is there room to doubt” is no; there is no place for doubt in a Christians life. Know God, know peace. Amen 06-01-2019 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing ...

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
