WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  A BELIEVER IS A RECEIVER

My grandfather often said, “A believer is a receiver, a doubter goes without.” He would use this when he preached faith. With out faith nothing happens. Mountains don’t move. People are not saved, healed and delivered. Without faith God is not pleased.

If we want to receive anything from the Lord, we cannot be double minded. Believing one moment and then talking negatively the next. Guarding our words is the hardest things we have to do as Christians.

The word says out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If our heart is full of faith, we will speak faith and life. Getting past our human doubt and fear is the hard part for any Christian.

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

The word diligently means: to laboriously, actively, energetically.

We must be enthusiastic about seeking God. This is how we build our God connection. A five-minute prayer once a week will not build a relationship. We must believe that God exists and he will reward those who actively seek him.

My grandfather often said, “Little prayer equals little power” We cannot overcome most things that happen without an active prayer life.

James 1:5-8 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

In order to not be double minded we have to be sold out to the cause of Christ. He has to be our Lord. Not in name only, not to give him lip-service, but he has to be the one in charge of our lives. If not, we will try to walk in the flesh and in the spirit. That would be double minded and unstable.

Verse seven says unstable in all of his ways. If we become double minded and unstable concerning one thing, it can carry over to other areas of our lives. This is why it is so important to have unwavering faith. Our mind needs to be made up that we will follow Jesus no matter what happens. This is having faith in God.

MATT 12:34-35 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

What ever is in our heart is going to come out. Jesus was telling the Pharisees that their hearts were evil because they seen evil in everything he done. Then he explained that if we have our hearts right and they are good they will bring forth good things. But because their hearts were not good, they spoke evil.

This is why we have to speak life. Be encouraging and talk faith. Keep looking up in worship and keep praying in faith believing. Because a believer is a receiver and a doubter goes without.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
