It's written in black and white: According to the Word of God, the reason we often do NOT receive the Promises of God is because we waver in our faith. (James 1:5) "ASK IN FAITH, WITHOUT DOUBTING, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind... For LET NOT THAT MAN SUPPOSE THAT HE WILL RECEIVE ANYTHING FROM THE LORD...! He is a DOUBLE-MINDED MAN, unstable in ALL his ways."
If we waver in our faith, we are "unstable and double-minded." The Lord literally ignores our petitions... Because according to the Bible, we truly "lack faith".
"...without Faith it is 'IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD. For He that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM." (Heb. 11:6)
I know these words will make a lot of people unhappy. Their hackles will come up and they become very angry. They will say: "I HAVE LOTS OF FAITH...! BUT I DIDN'T GET ANSWERS TO MY PRAYERS. I DID NOT GET MY MIRACLE."
Sadly, my friend---it doesn't take much Doubt to invalidate our Faith. The Bible says if we WAVER even a little, we are like the waves of the Sea....we are tossed and driven---and we don't need to expect ANYTHING from God, because it WILL NOT COME TO PASS.
We cannot be angry at the Word of God. It stands true. And God stands behind His Word.
I know it is difficult to Wait Upon God. It is the hardest thing in the world to do. But there is great reward ahead of us if we are patient.
Heb. 11:35-36 "So do NOT throw away your confidence; it will be RICHLY REWARDED. You need to PERSEVERE so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what HE HAS PROMISED!"
Do not give up, my friend---and you will see your Miracle come to pass....!
Begin to believe for your miracle one more time....and this time REFUSE TO WAVER. EVER.....
Be willing to DIE believing....and you will see it come to pass.
(Very encouraging....received from a friend. Hope it encourages you!)
