"Have Faith Not Doubt"
Can you believe it, tomorrow is the last day of January. February has only 28 days, so this year is going by fast already. What are you believing God for this year? Your Faith in God is the Key to Your Receiving. I am a very positive person. I will not say negative things. I try to always speak faith not doubt. For instance, I heard someone say, "this next few months is going to be close financially at our house". The minute I heard them say that, I had goose bumps. They had spoken financial troubles in their home. Because I knew the person, I bought it to their attention. Immediately they repented of the statement and spoke financial prosperity on their home. Proverbs 18:21, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." I Corinthians 10: 3-4, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but might in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." As Christians we need to watch what we say. Satan has enough ideas of his own, why give him anymore. We need to have faith in God who is our provider. Mark 11:22-23, "So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be case into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says." Believing can take opposite forms. It can be faith or it can be doubt. When you believe that God exists and that He loves you and wants to meet your needs, then your believing creates faith in your heart. On the other hand, doubt is just as real. The reverse of faith, doubt tells you that God does not exist or that He is unloving and uncaring about your needs. Doubt gives rise to fear, which brings torment, not peace. Fear actually keeps you from receiving the good things God desires to send your way. Capture this truth: Doubt, and do without: have faith believe, and receive. "Expect a miracle." Expectancy opens your life to God and puts you in a position to receive salvation, joy, health, financial supply, or peace of mind, everything good your heart longs for, and more! Blessings, Prayers and Love,
