Was reading Romans 10:10 and this is what i came up with.
In my heart i believe:
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. He was here at creation and came to live on the earth as a human. He was crucified and died on a cross then rose again in three days. He has power over death, hell and the grave, and He is coming back for His believers one day. And that if i believe in Him i can live with Him and Father God forever, in Heaven.
And by believing God is the creator, and is in control of the universe, that He is so much bigger and more powerful then i am and that He has the power to give or take life; knowing and believing this creates a healthy fear of God in me. i will follow Him and do what His word says, which will result in His righteousness growing in me.
With my mouth i confess:
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died on the cross and came back to life again in three days with victory over death, hell and the grave, and whoever believes in Him and confess their sins to Him and ask Him to forgiven them, they shall be saved.
And, by sharing the love of Jesus Christ with others, brings about salvation in my life, allowing me to live with Him forever in Heaven.
Am having the feeling that we are perhaps where we should be but that we are not doing what we should be!
We are not doing bad things but by not doing what we should be we are still sinning, Father God please forgive me!
Back to the beginning;
1. Get ready to go.
2. Go where the Holy Spirit leads.
3. Spend time in the morning reading the word together.
4. Take a walk together, and allow the Holy Spirit to share with us.
5. Come back and write down what the Holy Spirit has shared with us.
6. Do the same thing again in the afternoon.
7. Spend two to three months just the two of us, and not be concerned with things of the world.
8. Share the love of the Lord with whomever He brings in our path.
But instead it seems we are still not doing things together, and the things of the world are still holding on and controlling our lives. And it seem the biggest sin is doubt.
Matthew 14:27-31
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
Jesus said get rid of things and be ready to go and we did, and then He said go, and we did, and now we are out on the water, and as Peter did we have looked around at the circumstances and stuff and things what we have, but mostly what we don’t have, and have sunk!
LORD SAVE US!
And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of me, and said to me, “O you of little faith, why do you doubt?” Lord help my doubt to subside and my faith in you over take it!
Matthew 6:31
Do not be anxious then, saying, ‘What you shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘With what shall we clothe ourselves?’ or ‘What shall we sleep on?’ or ‘What shall we cook on?’ or, or, or, or we have so many what ‘s and what if’s, in which are all out of doubt.
“O you of little faith, why do you doubt?” Lord help my doubt to subside and my faith in you over take it!
Matthew 21:21
And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith , and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it shall happen.
This is the kind of faith in Father God and Jesus i want to have, not to move trees but to be totally dependent on the Lord for everything i need, and to never question what or why, or be weighed down with the desires of this world, but to have a deep knowing that whatever i have need of the father will provide, when i have need of it. Lord forgive me for doubting you!
Romans 14:23
But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin. Whatever is not from faith is sin!
Whatever is not from faith is sin!
WHATEVER IS NOT FROM FAITH IS SIN!
WHATEVER IS NOT FROM FAITH IS SIN!
i get it, every moment of every day i must have faith in Father God that He will provide all my needs, and that Jesus is not only my provider but my provision! And beyond Him i need nothing, but out of His love for us He will provide all our needs.
