THE ONLY WAY TO PLEASE GOD
Did
you know that "without faith it is impossible to please
GOD, For he
that comes to God must believe that he
is, and that God is a rewarder of
them that
diligently seek him"
Why, if it is so easy to
please him by doing something so simple like just
believing he exists and that what he said is true,
do we have such a hard
time doing it. Would our
friends care for us if every time they said
something we doubted them or questioned them. Try to
give God a chance.
Do you think God has feelings
that can be hurt?. Maybe we should learn to
treat
him as a person, and not insult him by questioning and
doubting
every promise that he makes. We can't
expect to get answers to prayer as
long as we
continue in such an attitude?
How can we come to
God and ask him for something and then tell him by our
acts, and innermost feelings that we do not believe him
and cannot trust
him to the extent that he demands?
Is it any wonder that we get so few prayers
answered by such a procedure?
The greatest miracle
of all is that he ever answers us once. God is under
no obligation to answer if we do not have implicit
faith in him for what we
ask.
Many times we
as Christians say "I want my life to please the Lord"
and
are thinking about good conduct and good works,
but you can do both of these and still not please God.
Nowhere does it say in the Bible that "Without right
conduct and good works it is impossible to please God",
God said WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to
please him.
FAITH IS believing God without a
waver, without doubting, and without
questioning
what he says. It is taking God at his word, believing
that
what he has promised he is able to perform it.
It is believing not only that
he is able, but that
he will do it.
FAITH is the quality of counting
those things that be not as though they
were (Romans
4:17). Faith is also the absolute conviction that what
God
has promised and what we have asked according to
his word is done already. It is the "substance of things
hoped for and the first payment on things that we desire
from God". (Hebrews 11:1-3).
THE FIGHT OF FAITH
It is not the easiest thing in the world to live
in the faith life. There
is a fight to it, and the
Bible plainly says just that, "Fight the good
fight
of faith" in 1st Timothy 6:12. I think some people read
the first word
"fight" and quit right there. Some
must think it says, "Fight other
churches or fellow
Christians".
I have seen preachers pull off
their coat, loosen their tie, roll up their
sleeves,
and say, "I'm going to fight the devil". I thought to
myself as I
sat there, You wouldn't be any match for
him. Why would they want to fight
him anyway, when
Jesus already defeated him.
I have seen them go
through the same motions and declare, "I'm going to
fight sin" Again, I thought, why do they want to do
that? Jesus has
already cured it. He put it away by
the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 9:26 says "For
then must he often have suffered since the
foundation of the world: but now once in the end of
the world hath he
appeared to put away sin by the
sacrifice of himself. There is no sin problem, there is
a sinner problem. Get the sinner to Jesus and that cures
that. He has already cured the sin problem.
WHO
ARE WE REALLY FIGHTING
Ephians 6:12 tells us
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness
of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places.
Smith
Wigglesworth, a famous Christian Healer from the early
1900's said
"There is something about believing God
that will cause him to pass over a
million people
just to get to you".
According to Romans 10:17
The way to get faith is "by hearing the word of
God", and the way to use faith is to take God at his
word and count him
faithful in granting what is
asked in the name of JESUS. Ask and then
believe
that it is done. Thank GOD for it as if it were already
done.
Expect the complete answer whether you see it
at once or not.
Forget symptoms, feelings,
impossibilities, or anything to the contrary
and it
shall be done regardless of how impossible it may appear
outwardly.
Faith laughs at impossibilities, and
cries, "IT IS DONE"
It leaves all results and
all answers with God as being God's part, and it
assumes that it is done. Our part than is to
cooperate with faith and not
hinder its working, by
doubting and questioning the how and when of the
answer.
If a Christian will truly exercise
faith that he knows, is necessary,
there will be no
question as to the answer. One can get healing, health,
success in business or in any undertaking.
prosperity, happiness, or anything that would cause one
to be victorious in any phase of life (Check out Matthew
17:20; 21:22; Mark 11:22-24; John 15:7, 16; Romans 8:32:
Hebrews 11:6; James1:5-8).
Matthew 21:22 And all
things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive.
LET US ALL WALK
IN FAITH TODAY!!
Grace be unto you.
