Be a believer and not a doubter
14 Dec 2006

WE MUST BE A BELIEVER AND NOT A DOUBTER!

 

No matter what situation you find yourself in life, the Word of God has to be the final authority. It has to be the FIRST WORD and the LAST WORD.

2 Cor. 5.17 KJV "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

LIVING BIBLE "When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!"

The NEW CREATION has NO PAST! That is the greatest revelation you can get, it can change your life totally if you can believe it and act like it.

2 Cor. 5.7 KJV "for we walk by faith, not by sight-"

Romans 14.23 NIV "But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin."


Ephesians 2.10-12 KJV

"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Workmanship in Greek is Masterpiece! God made you a masterpiece!

To be without God's Word is to be without God.

To be without God is to be without hope, and faith is the substance of things hoped for!

If you have no hope, you have no faith and if you have no faith you cannot please God.

In every circumstance you should always go directly to The Word. What does God say about your circumstances today.

Faith comes by hearing The Word Romans 10.17.

God's will is His Word 1 John 5.13-15 KJV

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Amplified says we have as our present possessions the petitions made known of Him!

When God says you are righteousness what do you do, argue with Him?

No! His Word says in 2 Cor. 5.21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

When you hear God speaking this to your spirit you have to learn to put away sin consciousness and develop righteousness consciousness.

When you do that then you can come boldly to God's throne of grace.

Hebrews 4.16 KJV "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

Hebrews 10.1-2 KJV

10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

LIVING BIBLE

1 The old system of Jewish laws gave only a dim foretaste of the good things Christ would do for us. The sacrifices under the old system were repeated again and again, year after year, but even so they could never save those who lived under their rules.

2 If they could have, one offering would have been enough; the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all and their feeling of guilt would be gone.

Then vs. 3-4 says

3 But just the opposite happened: those yearly sacrifices reminded them of their disobedience and guilt instead of relieving their minds.

4 For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats really to take away sins.

Learn to confess The Word with your mouth and believe in your words.

Psalm 119.89 KJV For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Matthew 24.35 KJV Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Continually:

Praise God Hebrews 13.15 KJV By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Continual praise as a sacrifice to God through Jesus.

Continually confess His Word 1 Peter 5.6-7

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Humble yourselves casting. You humble yourself by casting all your cares onto Him. In Him you are carefree.

Your confession should be I don't have a care!

In Mark 11.12 KJV

12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

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.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

V23 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.

Doubt is a robber of the blessings of God.

Romans 8:1 KJV There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Stand in faith, believing!

1 John 5.4 KJV For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

You ARE A WORLD OVERCOMER don't DOUBT it at all!
