Dear Partner,
Trials come. But we are not defeated.
Battles come. But we already have the Victory.
NEVER DOUBT GOD!
To never doubt God, is a choice that we make within ourselves. God can not make that choice for us. We are the ones that have to make a quality decision and then say out loud, “Father God, I make the decision, that as long as I am alive on this planet, as long as I have breath, I trust you and I will never allow a thing to cause me to doubt you or your love and care for me, EVER!”
Situations and tests may try to weigh you down, but FAITH AND PATIENCE comes to our aid to help us stand until we see the victory in the natural. We don’t faint. We don’t quit. We don’t lose or give in. We stand, stand, and after we’ve stood, we stand some more. We wake up, go to sleep, and stand some more, EXPECTING God’s promises EACH day!
God has made promises. And God has never lied, will never lie, and will never change, EVER!
Hebrews 10:23 KJV says….
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)
Numbers 23:19 NLT says….
19 God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?
If God promised it then He will carry it through. Search the WORD of God for those promises that belong to you and once you find them, you can then receive them by FAITH, lift up your hands, praise God and thank Him in advance! The victory is OURS. It is our choice to resist the urge to quit. It is OUR choice to resist the urge to complain. We can do this by knowing who we are in Christ Jesus and that will help us not “act out” in the flesh. Because our flesh was crucified with Christ on the cross. Therefore we shouldn’t try to resurrect something that is SUPPOSED to be dead! It’s dead, let it say dead!
Galatians 5:24 KJV says….
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Let’s look at that verse in the New Living Translation…..
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
The word lust comes from the Greek word “epithumia,” which means “desire, craving, longing, desire for what is forbidden, lust.” Think about that for a moment: lust is “desire for what is forbidden.” Lust is not just ‘sexual desire.’ It is craving and desiring anything that is forbidden….or desiring something else more than we desire God, which is sin. (Romans 14:23)
The flesh lusts after worry. The flesh lusts after stress. The flesh lusts after carrying the care.
The flesh lusts after depression. And the flesh lusts after quitting. To sum it up, the flesh lusts after anything that is part of the curse that came into the world when man sinned in the garden of Eden. A lot of things are not “opposite” than God. But the moment the “things” become more desirable than God is in our lives, THEN we have a problem, a real big problem.
If you spend more time with God and His WORD, it’s easier to trust Him.
If you spend more time in the flesh and the lusts of the flesh, then it’ll be easier to doubt Him.
Why? Because what we say and do on the outside is exposure of what we have been feeding ourselves on the inside.
Are you feeding what’s supposed to be dead which is the flesh?
Or are you feeding your spirit?
In Deuteronomy 30:19-20 the Lord said…
19 Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!
20 You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Spend lots of time with God. Dwell in the secret place. (Psalm 91)
Feed your spirit. Desire God. Desire and crave after HIM. Fellowship and talk with Him day and night. And you’ll NEVER DOUBT GOD!
I am daily praying for you and your family. For your health, well being, finances, salvation for your loved ones and more and more and more and more! God is with us!
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IF A PERSON BELIEVES!
