We are walking in today: God Will Turn Your Doubt Into Belief.
John 14:1-6 1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4) And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5) Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Let not your heart be troubled, choose to believe. This was God's
response to Thomas and still stands today. God is the Way, the Truth, and
the Life. We know that a doubting Thomas is someone who will refuse to
believe something without direct, physical, personal evidence; a
skeptic. But not on Fiveamprayer we walk in blind trust. After seeing Jesus
alive and being offered the opportunity to touch His wounds, Thomas then
professed his faith in Jesus. For this reason he is also called Thomas
the believer. In this dry season of your life, God will turn all your
doubt into belief. God Himself will restore your trust in Him. Thomas
was the only Apostle who went outside the Roman Empire to preach the
Gospel. Sometimes we can be a doubting Thomas, but when we experience
God for ourselves it makes our belief
stronger. Jesus appears to some of the disciples, but Thomas was not
with them the first time. John 20:25 The other disciples
therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them,
Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my
finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I
will not believe. We all can learn from Thomas, think
about it!!! If Thomas hadn't been a doubter, this famous saying may not
have been recorded in history. This particular saying has helped me
many times in my life. When things have been going badly for me, when I
have faced hardships and pain, this saying has given me hope. God will
turn your doubt into belief!!! Amen, amen.
Fiveamprayer
is standing on trust--blind trust, walking by faith and not by sight.
We can ask Thomas, he is a witness, who was searching to see. John 20:29 Jesus
saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:
blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Fiveamprayer, is blessed because we believe and have not seen.
He blesses us with His grace and mercy. God will turn your doubt into
belief and use you mighty for His kingdom!! We are asking for
forgiveness for all that we have done against You, as well as
forgiveness for what we have done against out brothers and sisters.
Thank You Lord for being faithful to forgive us. Teach us Lord how to
forgive like You, with no condemnation. We must forgive because You
have forgiven us--Colossians 3:13 Forbearing
one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel
against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
So many of us are struggling with doubt. Now is the time to turn to
God in blind trust, that He will turn your doubt into belief. Lord, we
trust You to do that. There is nothing too hard for You!! Mark 9:23-24 23) Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24) And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Thank
You Lord, for hearing our cries to help our unbelief. We want to be
able to follow You in blind faith. Standing and trusting on and in Your
word. You gave Your word to never leave nor forsake us. 1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked That is why we must walk by faith and not by sight, that is how Jesus walked on this earth!! Mark 12:15 Shall
we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said
unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. Every
time that they came to question or rather try to trick Jesus into
saying something against scripture, He saw their plans from the
beginning. We have to see beyond what is in the natural. So many
innocent things are only in appearance. That is why this faith walk is
so important. We can be put off track in doing the seemingly good
thing.
Matthew 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? Fiveamprayer,
look to the heart of the matter. The real intent of this life is to
serve and follow the Lord!! That is why He is trying to get us to
totally and completely follow Him!! Drawing us with His love, patience,
forgiveness, kindness and all other attributes of His character. He
shows up mighty in our lives to be a witness to others so that they can
come into being lead by Him too. Psalm 45:1 My
heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have
made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Thank You Lord for abiding in us, as we abide in You. We lift up
Jeanette this morning. We stand on, that by Your stripes she is
healed. We are standing up and walking in our God given dominion, with
blind faith and blind trust. The Great I AM has already decreed it.
Thank You Lord for this anointing of trust. Thank You Lord for healing
Jeanette. Lord we ask that You search our hearts for any doubt and for
it to be turned into belief. Let us walk in what, the Lord has told us
to do! All the instructions that are laid out in Your word. That we
can speak in belief, not wavering and move mountains. We know that our
trust is a must! Blind faith, like a child--trusting and yielding with
the whole heart unto to Him! Fiveamprayer stands believing You will
move mightily and continue to go before us making the crooked places
straight, even while we are still on the path--walking by faith. Thank
You for doubting Thomas, some of us are in a dry season and are looking
for proof. Thank You for showing us this in Your word! Thank You for
Your patience, for having our spirit man to stand up in our original
identity, dominion. Believe what God has said. Psalm 138:2 I
will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy
lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above
all thy name.
We are walking in today: 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest
bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with
me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve
me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Welcome to the overflow...
We come before You, Lord to thank You
for Your mighty hand showing up! The fact that Thomas did believe upon
touching His wounds and seeing Him with his own eyes would also suggest
that, Thomas was still seeking after the Lord. Which is evident in what he asked Jesus in John 14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Thank You Lord for letting us know that we can ask for directions so
that we can end up at Your destination. Thomas shows us that we can not
trust in ourselves to know the way, but to seek out Christ for the way
to our eternal home! Could that be why his
faith was increased? Because he was walking to see Jesus returned like
He said? Looking to see the scriptures come alive in our lives means
that we are in study and have written His word on our heart and want to
see evidence in this walk that we are following Him. When we know a
thing to be true, we expect to see evidence of that truth! Remember
when God showed up telling us that He produces in a dry season? Well,
Lord we are seeking to find You in this dry season--we know that You are
real and that You are there!!! Please open up the blinded
eyes--blinded by distractions of this world. Let not our feet follow
the wrong way! We know what the
consequences are if we are following the wrong way...eternal separation
from Love!! Our hearts and spirit are seeking for the eternal water
that quenches every thirst! And once found we hold on to that thing
with both hands and feet! Thank You Lord for showing us Thomas today!
He is showing us that once we got a hold of this thing, You can really
use us!! Hallelujah to God be the glory! Amen, amen!! Believe
what God says, make every man
a liar. Turn our doubt into belief, Lord! Let us be found standing,
believing and searching You out. Thank You Lord for turning our doubt
into belief. Trust in Him and follow Him with blind faith as He turns
your doubt into belief. Take some time out today to look up and read
the scriptures for yourself. That is where you can find God, every
minute of every day, in His word. He has something to tell you, go and
listen in His word! Visit us on facebook, it will encourage
you. Have a blessed day!
