I’m going to deal with the doubts that we have concerning the things of the Lord and the way the Lord would resolve them.
In the first place, if we would say we have no doubts, we have no questions, we have no fears.
You are either lying or you’ve got a vacuum between your ears.
This is because there can be no intellectual activity or intellectual honesty without doubt.
We begin early asking questions. You say, Mama, why?
You say, who made God? Tremendous question, isn’t it? Who made all of this?
God made it, but who made God? Now we are dealing with eternity.
You see, we began early asking a lot of questions.
Now, there are two things that we must consider here that there’s a big difference between human doubt and willful unbelief.
A doubt can be an honest question that can lead you to great faith, but unbelief is a closed mind.
You have just shut yourself off from knowing the truth and you will not know who you really are, where you came from, and where you are going after you die.
It is like the first movie of the matrix, you are living in this world, but the reality is that there is an unseen world, in which is true reality.
If you study under my ministry I will teach you about that unseen world, you will understand the way it works, or the ways of God, the spiritual laws that govern the spirit realm.
But if you have a closed mind, you will live in deception for the rest of your life, because I will tell you right now, not everything you heard in church or whatever religion, or belief system you have is the truth.
I teach the bible free of charge, to require money to hear the truth is peddling the gospel.
Can you imagine for one minute Jesus requiring you to give him money before he healed your terminal disease, cast the devil out of your mind that is driving you crazy. Or before he miraculously multiplies five loaves of bread and two fishes, to feed the multitude of people who came to him.
You say if there is a God then why are 9 million people starving to death in this world? That is a good question.
When Jesus was crucified together with you and was buried together with you and rose from the dead together with you and ascended into heaven together with you and sat down at the right hand of God together with you, receiving his coronation of being the king of kings, having all authority both in heaven and earth, he delegated his authority to us, the church on planet earth.
Don’t blame God, blame the church, it is our responsibility not God’s. The church has been given the authority to rule planet earth.
Yet the church is so deceived, they agree with doctrines of devils, giving the enemy authority to have some control of the governments of the world, when the legal fact is that Jesus stripped him of all authority.
Colossians 2:15 says, 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
The word public spectacle is in the Greek deigmatízō and means to make a public show or spectacle as the Romans did when they exposed their captives and the spoils of the conquered enemies to public view in their triumphal processions.
This happened in the real world, which is unseen by the physical eye.
I have people asking me for money all the time from third world countries, and these ministers, do not even know how to teach children the word of God properly, if I could get one of them to actually study under me, I would help them in the future.
This has been a burden on my heart for a long time, and there was this one lady who would pray for me for seven years every day on messenger and never once asked me for money, and her prayers were actually Spirit filled prayers.
And before I lost my housing because of roaches I used to support her, she ministers to these children who are in her orphanage and I know her budget and when I was helping her they never were able to get enough money to meet it, but the kids are not starving, but I wanted to help her get these kids some decent food, I would not feed my children with that.
I will help her in the future because I know her. But at least I know someone you could help if the Lord leads you to.
There are missionaries and ministries out there actually making a difference. But you must feed these children with spiritual food and not just the natural food. I will give you her Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/agnes.buzingu
There are two kinds of unbelief in the Bible.
1Timothy 1: 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, 13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
The word unbelief in the Greek is apistia and means- uncertainty. THIS IS HUMAN UNBELIEF; it is just the natural result of being human.
The next verse is talking about the Israelites not entering the promised land.
Hebrews 4: 6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of unbelief.
The word unbelief in the Greek is apeitheia it means unwillingness to be persuaded, willful unbelief. THIS IS WILLFUL DISOBEDENCE.
And there is a life-threatening difference between these two words.
A doubt can be the result of really wanting to know something. It can be generated by hunger to know the truth.
But unbelief (willful disobedience) is an act or your will to refuse to believe.
Now, I have heard a statement concerning faith.
It said that faith is not against reason. It is against sight, physical sense knowledge. What our physical body sees, feels, talking about our five physical senses.
And that remark got into my spirit and became a revelation from God.
Believing is not against reason, it’s against physical sight.
When we have doubts in our mind, or even unbelief in our mind, that unbelief is the verdict of our physical senses. This is physical sense knowledge.
We feel the pain; therefore, we reject all that God has said in His Word concerning healing because we are sick. We hurt. Therefore, it can’t be so.
We believe what we see. We believe in what we feel. So, faith is not against reason, but faith is against reasoning from the physical senses.
If your reasoning is from God’s word, it will lead you in the right direction.
We want to deal with how God deals with doubts that are honest.
First of all, faith has to do with your spirit, it comes from hearing God and is imparted to our spirit as a spiritual substance.
Believing has to do with our soul, where the functions of our soul agree with our spirit and not the senses of our physical body.
Now, I have seen that people do not understand faith and how believing the word of God now in their spirit works
What happens is they get the impression in their minds that, oh, I’ve got to believe God.
So, the first time something comes to them they think God is speaking to them, they make haste to accept it and to run down the road with it, and they’re doing the worst thing that they could do toward the future development of their faith.
Whenever you hear something, do like the Bereans. The people of Berea, we are told, were more noble than the ones at Thessalonica. Inasmuch as they searched the word daily to see whether those things were so, there were doubts in their mind about it.
And they satisfied those doubts by going to the Word of God and searching the Word of God continually until those doubts were resolved in the certainty of what they were to do.
Now, somebody will say, oh, but we don’t dare to doubt God. You don’t dare not to doubt what God says.
For certainty in God comes by the questioning, by the searching, whether pursuing after it until you know, you know what God has said.
I can give you many areas in which I believe that it’s disastrous not to question God about things, until he confirms it to you.
I know preachers preach in the other direction.
I’m against unbelief. It’s a deadly thing. I’m not talking about willful unbelief, but human uncertainty.
From the foundation of the message, you see that we are dealing with the doubts and the questions concerning the things that come to our soul that is interpreting it as coming from God.
What about a man having a call from God to the mission field?
Well, a call can come from a variety of ways. You can be moved emotionally by hearing a missionary talk.
Maybe you could be singing, I’ll go where you want me to go. And suddenly flash it hits you; it’s China.
But the trouble with responding so readily to something that comes in a flash of inspiration is that how do you know that it was God?
Well, you say, I feel it was God, but what difference does it make if it wasn’t God?
Well, if you get to China, in an hour of need, in an hour of trial and testing, everything begins to break down except one thing: I have heard from the Lord. I know this is the Word of God.
You can’t afford not to question a call that comes until you know for certain that it’s from God and get in your spirit as substance, the substance of faith. And even then, a word from God should be confirmed by two or three witnesses.
The Holy Spirit spoke to the prophets and teachers that were at Antioch and said, separate me, Barnabas and Saul, for the work where unto I have called them.
No doubt between themselves they knew, or possibly they had not even discussed it among themselves.
Maybe it was an individual thing that God has spoken, but they held the peace and they waited for a very important thing for God to repeat Himself until doubts were dissolved in the certainty of a word from God that was confirmed at the mouth of two or three witnesses.
Now, it is that thing that takes doubt away. This thing of looking for God to speak two or three times before you have put all your eggs in one basket and launch out on the strength of that word.
I would say that doubts and hesitancy are important until the hour that you know God has spoken.
Then you do well to put all of your weight upon a word that is confirmed from God and step out upon it with all your heart.
Gideon was such a man. No one could accuse Gideon of being a coward after the issue was finally resolved that God had sent him.
We speak of Gideon as the great man of faith. In fact, wasn’t it the angel who came and said, Hail, thou mighty man of valor? And he looked around to see who else was in the cave.
He couldn’t believe it was himself. He said, “I’m the least in my father’s house”, and my father’s house is the least in the family, and the family is the least in the tribe. And he said, It just couldn’t be here, but you’re looking to me, the mighty man of valor, thrashing his grain in a cave where no one would see him so that the Midianites would not take it away from him.
Well, those were days of great oppression. But see, God saw the potential in him.
And immediately, Gideon, before he obeys God, sets about to prove that it is the word from God.
We all know about Gideon’s fleeces. Let me tell you that Gideon’s fleeces were not the object of unbelief.
At one time I thought that putting out a fleece is not a good thing.
But a fleece is a very bad thing if you are using it as an excuse for your human unbelief.
But now we are talking about the time Gideon lived, and for him it was a good thing.
But in the early church drawing lots was a bad thing because it fell to the wrong person. If I have time, I will put up a link about that, I am not going to write something twice.
But in the Old Covenant if you are using it to resolve honest questionings and doubts to find the will of God, it can be a very good thing, and God honored it with Gideon.
UHVH looked upon it with favor. In fact, I would encourage you to question everything that comes until it is resolved by the multiplicity or the repetition that comes in that word.
Do you sense how good this is?
This is a very practical, important study. So, you must make haste slowly.
For the promise to God’s people in the day of visitation is that they will not make haste or go out by sudden flight.
And I think that if there is one scripture that’s been misquoted so much, that one that says, The king’s business requireth haste.
Have you ever heard anybody use that as a text? If you look it up and look at the context of it, you’ll find the guy was lying. He spun a lie. He was given a pure lie.
And why should people take somebody who, in the process of a deception, was speaking certain things and said the king’s business requires haste and use that as a text that everybody should be impulsive and run with haste.
No, you do not make haste or sudden flight in the things of God. You do not panic and run. You do not make haste to run into a thing, but you stand and you look for confirmation.
Even when the blood of courage was boiling with great intensity through the veins of Jonathan, he was ready to go out and win the day and be the hero of the hour.
And he and his armor bearer were looking up at the garrison of the Philistines, and one said to the other, I think we can take them, all of them. And the other said, yes, I think we can.
They said, “We better check. Better be sure this thing is of the Lord.
So, they said, well, I think what we’ll do is we’ll put out a fleece. We need confirmation. We’ll step out here. And if they invite us to come up, we’ll come up. We’ll go up.
So, they stepped out there. The Philistines looked out and said, “Come on up”.
They said, “We’re coming”. That was the beginning of a tremendous victory.
They took the garrison single-handed, the two of them together, and all the rest of the armies came in to join in on the chase.
But remember, these two men won the victory. But they waited for the encouragement to come.
Again, I would say that sometimes the things God will ask us to do will seem so unusual. They will be so diverse, and the leading of the Lord in these days are going to lead us to signs and wonders and exploits.
And people are going to come up and say, God has spoken to me to do such and such. It’s going to seem weird. It’s going to seem fantastic.
And unless you open your mind now to a simple process that’s scriptural, some of you are going to miss it and you’ll be no good to God or to yourselves.
Believe me, this is the day of being led by the Spirit of the Lord, I’m going to repeat what I’ve said again.
I’m not speaking of willful unbelief where a person refuses to believe. That person’s mind and heart is closed against God.
But I’m speaking of the honest doubts of a searcher, a person that wants to know, but they want to really know that it’s God on a thing, and that person is honored by the Lord.
God always deals with a good, honest doubter in a beneficial way and encourages them to have their doubts resolved by the repetition of God speaking to them.
For instance, I notice how many times in the Scriptures, whether a person was a Christian or whether they were an unbeliever or whatever they were, that God kept repeating the thing that he brought to them until that person was convinced.
I think of the old pharaohs in their dreams and how God would repeat His action to them.
I think in the New Testament of the Apostles, for instance, a good example would be Peter up on the housetop about noontime.
And he was thinking while they were preparing a meal, he was praying and he fell into a trance. And while he was in this trance, he saw this great sheet coming down from heaven with all the reptiles and creeping things in it. Acts 10 will give you that.
And while he was looking at that, a voice spoke to him and said, Arise, Peter, kill and eat. Not so, Lord, I’ve never touched anything that’s unclean.
The sheet went back into heaven, and Peter kept thinking about that.
What a strange thing to have happened.
It happened a second time.
Then it happened a third time.
Now tell me, what is the divine purpose of repetition? Why did God do it three times? Why didn’t He just do it two? Why didn’t He just do it once?
You say it’s enough that a person to hear from God once. You haven’t heard from God until you’ve heard two or three times. And that’s a principle that you can’t avoid.
When God begins to say something to you and you just run down the road, remember, Satan can simulate the voice of God.
If it were possible, he would deceive the very elect in this day. He comes as an angel of light. His ministers are transformed as ministers of righteousness.
Don’t you understand that many times, many times, you will seem to be led in direction that will seem to be God?
But always have your doubting, your questioning handy. Keep that mechanism active.
There must be almost a scientific devotion in our mind and heart to the principles that God’s ordained for us to follow in New Testament ministry.
I can assure you that nothing is more important to you if you want to follow the leading of the Lord.
Then you keep active with scientific precision, the mechanism that leads you to constantly doubt the things that come in an honest, healthy way that honors God until those doubts are resolved in certainty.
You get a word from God. Don’t just go flying off the deep end and run down the road with it.
Wait on God, with fasting and prayer. Seek God until it comes again and again.
I’ve noticed that sometimes people can have many sources of impressions, and they can be very vivid.
I don’t doubt that some of the great dreams of world disaster have been born from eating pie and ice cream too late at night, before you go to bed.
But you wake in the next morning, utterly distraught, I had a vision of the world coming to an end.
Well, there are dreams, and there are visions, and there are upset stomachs, and all of them seem to sometimes contribute a very vivid thing to our mind.
We don’t know which is which sometimes, because they can be so vivid to us.
But the thing about a thing born of divine or human imagination is that time is always a factor in eliminating its intensity.
If a person says, I was called by God, and that call came as a solid, clear call, and then as the years pass, it diminishes in its intensity until it’s a vague, dim thing in the past.
That person has done one of two things. Either they are running away from God, and they refuse to hear any more what God has to say on the subject, or else it was not God at all in the first place.
It was something that was human, for all human emotions and all human experiences fade in time.
Some can be so disastrous to an individual, they think, I’ll never be the same again. And the months pass, the years pass. Then slowly time becomes the healer.
And the wound of sorrow, the real experience, begins to grow dim. And that’s true of all things that are born that are human.
If it was something that was not God, if it was an emotional experience, it’ll grow dim in time. It’ll have a tendency not to repeat itself.
Or if it does have that unique thing, almost a psychological twist or a mental oppression, that like a recurring nightmare sometimes happens in people that they’ll have the same dream.
Yet, as you serve God and go on with God and pray over the matter, it will be weaker. It’ll diminish each time until finally the thing is resolved.
And you find that you are thinking clearly once more and you’re not oppressed by that anymore.
This becomes important. It takes someone like the Apostle Paul, who had the thing confirmed and reconfirmed from the very start.
A voice came from heaven and said, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
And he said, “Who art thou, Lord?” And he said, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.
And you remember that blindly he was led into the city.
But the confirmation came when a prophet by the name of Ananias came in and laid his hands on him and that was after Paul had, had a vision of that man coming to him.
And God has spoken to Ananias, the merging of many confirming things.
And it was that God’s chosen you to be a witness of Jesus Christ.
He knew then that it was not some emotional experience, but it had been confirmed. It had been reconfirmed, and then it had become something important to Him.
On the strength of that, I would say that many people had better go back and begin to seek God concerning these things that they say are the voice of God.
After the resurrection, when Jesus ascended into heaven, the first chapter of Acts gives us a beautiful picture of it again.
He said that He was received up into the heavens. And I’ve wondered why some of these things happened. I wondered why they happened as they did.
And I began to see how that God attested the great facts and what he had to say with more confirming things than we realize.
Well, maybe we should read it. The of Acts 1:9 When Jesus had said these things as they were looking, he was taken up. A cloud received him out of their sight, and while they were looking steadfastly into the heaven as he went.
Behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking up into heaven?
This Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.
Now, I have always seen that in another light. I have seen it as a witness that Jesus Christ would return.
But while there is the intent of that involved in this, I think the basic reason for those two men standing there was to, again, to repeat what they had just seen with their eyes so that that would be a confirming thing again.
This Jesus that you’ve just seen go into heaven will come again.
You see, His coming was one thing, but also to confirm that He had ascended.
Now, when they went into the tomb, they could look on that resurrection morning. And do you remember the angels sitting there?
In one account, it gives two angels, doesn’t it? It tells about two angels. Do you remember what they said? He is not here. He is risen.
There was an empty slab. There was grave clothes, like a hard mummy, but with not the head wrappings, they were folded up neatly and laid by some corner in the tomb, so that it looked like somehow mysteriously he just came out of the thing like a ghost. He was gone.
But you see, there had to be another confirming witness. And an angel was designated, two angels there, He’s not here, He’s risen! So that men would know that confirming thing.
They saw that He was gone, they heard that He was gone, the angelic testimony was there declaring that it was so. He’s risen.
Now, the great facts of our spiritual experience and life can be attested to with the same certainty, with the same confirmation, that law of two or three witnesses operating, so that we do not move because one person says, because it’s not a word from God until two or three known to be prophets have said it.
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other prophet judge it, so that the people of God are not confused.
And it’s that carefulness with which we move. We move with many of us working together, confirming to one another. Yes I attest to that, that was a word from God, he said the same thing to me.
That’s going to take the doubt out of it, because I am sure that God will bring many things to us that our minds would be slow to receive, other things that our minds would be too quick to receive.
So, the law of confirmation has to be operative in everything that we do, in everything that we say.
This honest questioning and honest doubt is the first step of knowing.
If we accept too readily, we become guilty of presumption instead of recipients of faith.
We are not moving in faith; we’re moving in presumption if we jump every time somebody says jump. Amen.
Now this is a principle to be practiced. There could be an emergency where you have to act quickly, the Lord reveals that this little boy is going to walk out in front of the car.
And also God speaks to us through out the day to do such and such.
What I am talking about is major decisions, like getting married, and moving out of state. I think you get where I am coming from.
We are talking about major events that are going to happen because we are the people who are going to be taking control of this planet, do be so foolish to believe the prophets and teachers That Jesus is coming back and is going to take over the control of the planet. No, he is waiting greatly anticipating for us to do it as his many member body.
The judgements that will happen in the earth will be through the words of our mounths as God confirms yes this is my will, by two of three witnesses.
God is not sovereignty judging things like he did in the Old Covenant. The last time he did this was when he used the roman army to once and for all get rid of that Old covenant system of sacrificing animals, when He was the sacrifice, and carried out the retribution of Jesus nation of killing the prophets whom he sent to speak for him, they had tremendous blood on their hands.
Now, I hold a lot of things in my heart. People say we should prove all things, and somebody gets up and they say something and it didn’t quite ring the bell. Well, maybe it didn’t ring the bell with any of the leaders either, but let’s hold steady and see.
You see, the thing in it is we wait on the Lord (both listening and timing).
We walk at this thing a little more slowly. So, we don’t have to know what to do, and then we jump and do it and tomorrow we have made fools out of ourselves.
But we learn to walk with God. We learn to get a word from the Lord.
And I’ll make this statement. For you to start seeking God and take the time to check it out and find out about it, that would be so wise for you to do it, that even if there were a lot fewer things that you came to accept as God, yet you would find yourself able to step out upon the things confirmed with real confidence and your life would be transformed.
A few wonderful steps ordered by the Lord could change your whole life.
But presumptuous moving and jumping, stumbling and falling, not knowing when you’re right or when you’re wrong, and finding sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it works and sometimes it fails.
God would have us eliminate that and he’d have us walk with God with a faith that has almost a scientific precision to it.
It is so accurate and so exact that we learn and prove and know the voice of the Lord.
This helps people not to spook and float off into space. We want this thing to be practical.
I’d like to see you come to the place where you know how to please God by the reserving of judgment until you could seek God that everything that you are to believe and you are to do would be confirmed and reconfirmed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
And you would know that it was the way of the Lord to walk in it.
Now, when Doubting Thomas comes and he says, well, I’ve heard that he’s risen from the dead, but I’m not going to believe it until I see it, Then Jesus did something.
Because Thomas’ doubts were honest, Jesus came to Thomas and he said, behold my hands, and put your hand thus into my side. Be not doubting but believe.
And so, Thomas fell on his feet. He says, My Lord and my God.
He knew right then that it was the Lord, and he didn’t doubt it again.
But then the Lord made a strange statement. He says, Blessed are they that have not seen and yet believe.
He was bringing then that a faith that is based upon physical sight is not nearly as valuable as a faith that is based upon what God says.
And the blessed way is the faith that rests upon what the Lord has said.
Now, faith is not the enemy of reason, but I’ll repeat it again, it’s the enemy of physical sight, the enemy of what your five physical senses tell you, I call this physical sense knowledge.
And for a person to say, I will not believe until I see it.
And then he they let their faith in divine healing and miracles be based upon the fact that they saw a man walk across the platform and throw his crutch away and walk out healed.
I want to tell you that everything that you see in the natural realm is open to questioning.
And doubts are a very reasonable thing for it. And if your faith is based upon that, the next time you may see a fellow, and he may walk off, he may throw his cane away and may have a slight limp when he walks off.
And suddenly you say, oh, he’s not healed. I saw it with my own eyes, he’s still limping. Yes, but by the time he gets home he is not limping anymore.
So then automatically, because you have seen something with your physical eyes in the past, and you’ve gone on the basis of that, your whole faith changes.
If faith changes by what we see in the natural realm, we look up and it’s raining and we become discouraged.
We look up and the sun is shining, we become encouraged.
We become creatures that regulate our whole philosophy and outlook and principles upon what we see with our physical eyes and what we experience. And you can’t do that.
Faith is an enemy of physical sight, whereas faith says you must believe regardless of what you see in the natural realm.
Regardless of what you see, because you see Thomas, tomorrow the Lord may not be there.
And you’re still saying, well, maybe that was an illusion. Maybe I was just dreaming that.
And you look around and He’s not there for you to see Him.
So, you must have a faith that’s based upon something greater than what you see with your physical eyes.
It must be beyond the miracles that you see with your physical eyes, the moving of God that you see, or the signs and wonders that you see.
You must have a faith that’s based on what God says. And you must learn that voice from God.
And when God speaks, learn how to question it and in an honest, open, seeking way. until it’s confirmed and reconfirmed.
And then you put your faith in that word and not in what you see, not what you behold round about you, but what God has said.
That’s the one thing Satan attacks from the beginning of human history.
Satan came to Eve and said, Hath God said?
You see it has always been a battle over what God says, why do you think we have so many different kinds of churches in the world. One church interprets the word this way and one the other, there has never been that New Covenant principle establish by the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word of God be established.
That is why it is good to study under more than one ministry. Don’t just believe something I have said let God confirm it to you, and I am not taking about listening to some church that is already teaching false doctrine, the enemy will counterfeit this principle too.
On the basis of two or three devils let the word of God be established. You get what I am saying.
It is not a sin to have human unbelief, but it is a sin to have willful unbelief, to be close minded.
I always check out what other ministries teach, but most of them don’t help me understand the ways of God, I mean I am totally bored trying to hear at least one word from God in what they are saying.
When I use to go to church I would just go for the worship because the intensity of God’s presence was there, but during the message I would be focused on the Lord and I would be getting revelation from him, and not even listening to what the speaker is saying because they are not being led by the Holy Spirit.
Has God said? hath God said? When the word has been confirmed to you, then you can say Yes, he said that!
You see the enemy knows the questioning in your mind, and tries to talk advantage of that, and yes, the enemy can read your mind, he know what you are thinking. Not in the exact thoughts you are thinking, but you give off a light, a color, a smell, a vibration in the realm of the spirit, like fear, he can smell it a mile away.
But the Holy Spirit will speak through you in a language the enemy does not understand. He is familiar with all the earthly native languages.
So, you begin to question. Satan wants you to question what God says. But God honors and honest questioning, a true seeker of knowing God’s will for your life.
Satan is not concerned about anything else, if you know what I mean, I say that all the time, it is always a war over the word, hath God said, and when you speak it out of your mouth, it affect things in the spirit realm. And YHVH knows the thoughts in your heart and hears them, when they are about his will.
Satan is not the least bit concerned about the world believing in science, about the world believing in the facts, and the great principles of science.
Satan doesn’t oppose it all. In fact, even I think sometimes Satan would be willing to help it out, don’t you? But scientist are getting more accurate in this time we are living in and are actually confirming things, that God has said in his word.
I think Satan would be glad to see people turn until they concluded, I don’t believe in anything but what I can see under a microscope, or I can view it in a telescope. I don’t believe anything else, but what I can prove in a test tube.
Because then faith can never operate. Faith cannot operate in that realm.
And so, people in the past have come to the conclusion that science is very exact, but religion is very vague and it’s only philosophy.
It’s because we’re not doing the thing right. What we should do is to recognize that walking with God in the restoration of New Testament principles, as we’re seeking them, can lead us to adjust as an exact thing as any scientist can ever find.
It is a thing that we walk in with great precision and exactness.
And by doing that in our lives, we can walk in the perfect will of the Lord.
Satan is not fighting people coming to prove out what they see and come to discover the laws of nature.
But Satan is concerned that you don’t discover the laws of God.
Because when you find the kingdom of God and His principles, and you find them working in your life, you’ll find that they really work.
And all you do is try and test them until you come to the exact thing that God wants, and you step out on it, and your life becomes a miraculous thing.
Now this puts a new light on it. If we trust in the Lord with all of our heart, we don’t lean upon our own understanding, and we wait before Him to give us the answer, He’ll direct our paths.
And this thing of finding the will of God for your life isn’t to kind of meditate in the corner until you get an impression, I think I ought to do this, or I think I ought to do that, and then run off and do it.
I do practice meditation, but I have been really busy writing, that I have neglected a lot of things that are important in a walk with God, but I have to get the basics of this thing written down, I cannot rely on my memory, I will forget some things the Lord has taught me.
I have a website I can look at and see the revelations I have written and then also correct them because some revelations have been confirmed and some of them were off, But the Lord said keep writing and I will correct you, as I grow spiritually so does my understanding of the word of God.
And some of the things I used to believe I may take them off my website, but I put them on my OneDrive because of the time I invested, and there are still some truths in there, that are profitable.
The light of the Lord keeps expanding as we follow on to know the Lord until the day comes, that is the perfect day, we can see things as they really are not the matrix we have been living in.
But it’s waiting before the Lord (focused listening) and with time, and it becoming so intense that instead of a vague, dimming thing, it grows brighter and brighter, stronger and stronger, until, like the Apostle Paul, and the hours of His trial.
He was talking about the heavenly calling more intensely than He was in the early years. The vision was burning brighter because the thing that really comes from God, in time it becomes more intense. It becomes more powerful. It becomes a consuming, burning, driving thing within you.
Look at the Apostle John. The revelation that he had of the Lord Jesus and his love for him.
And then read about the epistles of John, about the love he had. An old man almost 100 years old, had he forgotten that love? Had he forgotten that compassion? Had he forgotten about the leaning on the bosom of the Lord? He hadn’t forgotten it.
His love for the Lord was growing more intense all the time.
When things grow dim and they grow vague, one or two things are happening.
You’re either running away from God with, so that God can’t confirm it to you, or the thing was never God in the first place.
And I wonder what a torment that is to wonder, was that really God or wasn’t it God?
Don’t go through all of your life wondering, did God say that or didn’t He say that?
Should I be out on the mission field or not out on the mission field?
Am I called to preach or am I not called to preach?
What does God want from me?
Does He want me to prophesy or not to prophesy?
Does He want me to do this or not to do it?
The leading of the Lord can become a certain accurate thing.
And I don’t know anything that young people ought to do more than to find the will of God for their lives.
In the time of your doubts, in the time that you’re being exposed to so many things, give some attention to this, finding accurately what God’s will is for you.
And another thing I might say, I want to counterbalance one truth.
You say, all right, then I’m going to sit down and fold my hands, and I’m waiting until it comes from this, and it comes from that direction, and it comes from the other direction, and I know what I’m to do.
Yes, but you have some great problems that must be solved, but you must be careful that you don’t postpone everything while you’re waiting for those other things to happen.
Sometimes you must be occupied. with the Lord’s work. And the voice of God comes more clearly to those that are moving in what they do know, instead of retiring and withdrawing from it.
And then God brings them another word to walk in.
If you postpone living until all the problems of life are solved in your mind, you’ll never start to live.
I’ll tell you, if people waited to get married until they really understood what they were doing, the world would die in one generation.
Human beings would perish from the earth.
Yes. A bachelor is one man who never makes the same mistake once.
But seriously, if that’s what would happen to the whole world. We would run out of people.
Now, you start living for God, and there are a lot of things that you don’t know.
You don’t know exactly what the extent of God’s call is going to mean in your life.
What you do know, His hand is upon you.
Occupy in the sphere and in the place where He wants you to fill. Be faithful there.
And then you’ll say like Eliezer did in the search for Rebecca. He said, “I being in the way, the Lord led me.”
Just put yourself right in the position where as you’re on the way to it, God’s going to answer prayer for you by the time you get there.
You, see? That’s right. You’re sitting here looking to the Lord, praying for rain. But be sure that you remember to take an umbrella with you, just in case.
You see, be prepared. You say, well, I think God has his hand on my life. Then begin to walk in that direction.
But keep listening and don’t make any great, great leaps until you hear his voice saying, this is the way, walk ye in it.
But you know that voice never comes out there in front. This is the way, little child, walk ye in it.
But the prophet says, you shall hear a voice behind you saying, this is the way, walk ye in it.
The implication is that you’re already walking in it, and you’ve already sensed the way, but you hear His voice as you’re walking along, confirming you, yes, son, that’s the way, walk in it.
I think the Lord has helped me discover another great, wonderful principle, or at least it’s an amplification of many things that we’ve heard before, and it helps us to walk with God, I never forsake this marvelous purpose of being led by the Spirit of the Lord, but this word also delivers us from every presumptuous thing that would be detrimental to it.
My the Lord bless this word to your heart, it took me all day to write it.
