believe like a child

There is something I have pondered that troubles me every time I consider… How the children of God that say they believe, never see the fruits of God’s Power in their lives.

Healings. Miracles. True Salvation. Deliverance. Spiritual Knowledge. Wisdom. Life Changes. Holy Promises Fulfilled.
Why ?
Why don’t people- especially “those of the household of faith” – ever see God’s “promises” come to life in their lives?

Doubt. Unbelief. Mistrust. Fear. Impatience.

These are a few reasons people do not see God’s fulfillment of His Truth in their lives~
But we need to ponder these reasons and ask, why DO people DOUBT God? Or WHY do people not believe Him and His Word in their lives? Or why do they think in fear, that they are less worthy than another person to have what God has promised to “ALL who believe”? And for people who don’t trust the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WHO then can they trust? For we all know that the “trust” of “man” is futile.
Where then is faith? It comes from a Knowledge of WHO GOD Really is.

God… The “God of our Fathers”.. the God of Jesus Christ… And David the King of Israel, and Isaiah the prophet, and Elijah and Elisha the miracle workers… and Esther the queen who saved a nation and Moses who lead the Israelites out of egypt, is that same yesterday, today and forever~ It is the same God that has always been~ And if we really want to have what God has promised through the Word of His Son Jesus Christ, the first and foremost we have todo is DARE to Believe.
I say Dare because it takes COURAGE to STEP OUT IN FAITH, it takes momentum, courage, passion, faith with reckless abandon~ to have the good things that God has for His Children! Why? Because there is a world out there full of thives imposters and liars that don't want (God's People) to have what (HE) wants (us) to have, because they don't have it. Have you ever heard that saying "Misery loves company"? And we see it all around, envy, lust, competitavteness...such things will never bring true peace or glory~ Only recieveing the Blessing from GOD, for the Bible says, "every good and perfect gift comes doen from the Father of Lights.."
(God is no respector of persons) he doesn’t compare us with each other… he compares us by our selves… meaning… He doesn’t say, oh, Sally is better than Trina, because of this this and that. NO. He has placed within each individual person a unique purpose, design and value that only HE can create and fulfill– and His value is based in His Word, and He judges according to HIS standards for us, not other’s people’s, and certainly not against other people’s, or their’s against us.

So we have to decide… what do we (each individually) expect and or desire from life, from the LORD?
What is our purpose for being here? What has God placed in Your’s and my hearts, and you and God know…
The LORD said to me that many of the desires that I have in my heart are desires that HE has FOR ME. God is not some God that makes people and ignores us. NO! He is a Loving, intimate, attentive, caring, compassionate Father.
That is what He created us for.
So we must dare to believe. For Himself. He Delights in us... He loves it when we come to Him for help, or for answers, or for anything we need, because in us is HIS Glory, and in Him we are fulfilled and gratifyed and blessed better than any other way possible. Because GOD IS GOOD!!!

One thing besides the list that I wrote earlier also keeps the LORD from fulfilling His Promises in our lives, and that one thing (which ALL the others fall into) is SIN.

Unbelief is sin, fear can be classified as sin, doubt is certainly sin, mistrust is sin( 1 corinthians 13 the love chapter claims that love always trusts) so if we do not trust we are not living in love therefore it is sin.
So, I would like now, to encourage your faith.

I want to use a few examples from the Word, to open your minds, hearts and spirits to the Power of The Holy Ghost; And to realize and discover what kindof God we really serve.
I hope you all can catch all this, and may the Holy Spirit give understanding as He so pleases.

Let’s consider the Gospel, it means “Good News” in the original text… some of the things that have really made me question MY faith and say, well, if God can do that, then…what can't HE do??!!???!
Are for example, when Jesus awoke Lazarus from death. In John chapter 11. The Lord Jesus Christ (not only was resurrected by God Himself) but rose a man from the dead. The Bible says that Lazarus “stank” as dead, and if you read the gospel carefully, you will read that they had to also take the grave clothes off him.
You know what I really want to say?? Why Can’t God be goodto us? He is good! So Why do people not believe in Him like they say they do? Because they really don’t believe.
God is good all of the time. Anything that we perceive as wrong or evil from God, is not really from God but is from the devil. And the fact that we humans “believe” that something evil would come from God is a LIE from the Devil, whose name means “Deceiver”. Does that make sense now? He will try to reduce your faith in God by putting bad things in your life or causeing problems to the point thta you think God is against you, but in reality it is one of Satan's main tactics of "DECIEIVING" you (into fearing God, distrustung God, giving up on God, not believeing in God).
We have to KNOW who our enemy is in order to be able to fight and destroy him.
His name is also “Accuser”,
“Accuser of the Brethren”,
“Liar”,
“Adversary”,
“Enemy” ,
“Imposter”, - just to show you who the devil really is.

I just want to challenge your all’s faith, because I can sit here and list a bunch of faithful things that the LORD has done, (in the Bible) but in my perception that would be like rewriting the Whole Bible here… so I just want to challenge your faith, and ask you,
“Why can’t God do something awesome in your life?"

And

“Where is Your faith?”

JESUS said that if we have faith as a grain of a mustard seed, that we can say to a mountain to move and it will obey us, and that we can say for anything to happen and it will.
What is a mustard seed, and what does it look like?
What mountains do you want to move out of your way~ into the depths of the sea?

All you have to do is simply believe.
