THE PERILS OF UNBELIEF
Read Eph. 2:2 It is saying here that all of us have followed the ways of this present world, and it’s spiritual ruler. This ruler continues to work in people who refuse to obey God.
We follow the desires of our corrupt nature, and we do what our nature desires. Even though in Gods mercy and his great love for us, he gave us life together with Christ and has given us a position in heaven with Him. God saved us through faith as an act of kindness, being saved is a gift from God.
Eph. 2: 8 says we are saved by grace. That grace is free. Accessed by faith and only by faith, and it only comes through Jesus Christ.
Heb 11: 1 is saying “now faith is the substance of things hoped for, The evidence of things not seen.” Faith is a substance that produces a reality of things hoped for, through righteousness by the word of God and through the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
Rom 8:28 says… and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. It takes faith to make all things work.
2nd Peter 1: 1 says… we obtain precious faith through righteousness of God and our savior Jesus Christ.
Rom 12 :13 goes on to say, according as God has delt to every man the measure of faith. Lack of faith is not the reason most people don’t receive the manifestation of God, it is the unbelief of the word and the will of God. Get rid of the unbelief and faith will work.
The presence of unbelief will always short circuit your measure of faith. If you overload the electrical circuit breakers in your house, it will stop the flow of power to your lights.
When you apply unbelief to your faith just like the circuit breaker, it will stop the measure of faith in your life. The measure of faith never leaves a Christian.
So you ask, how do I deal with unbelief. How many times have you believed and still there was a struggle going on inside of you.
Remember you can’t be tempted with anything without thinking about it. The battle with Christians is in the mind and having thoughts of doing wrong things.
It is not in the realm of the Holy Spirit, don’t let outside reports distract you from where you are going, don’t let the spirit of fear determine or dominate your life.
Unbelief comes in different ways, it comes from not knowing, because of wrong teachings. it also comes from your natural senses, like what you see or what you think and what you are focused on.
You need to know they are wrong and reject them from your thoughts. The way to know what God wants is to stay in His Word all the answers are there in the Word. Seek Him out. Choose God and not the traditions of man.
The Lord bless you,
