Many people want to believe but find fears and doubts undermining their desire.
In the prophet Daniel we read of an image whose feet are iron mixed with clay.
And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. |
This passage is speaking of a people of Faith (iron) who try to assimilate with a non-believing people (clay).
This union will not work because of the difference in material. They cannot be combined.
The result of the attempted union is conflict and weakness. The last days of the age of Grace will be marked by this Dis Unity.
In a similar fashion many who profess to be Christians are double-minded.
On the one hand, they want to believe while on the other hand they lean to their own understanding.
This state is an irreconcileable state of conflict and weakness in the individual just as the conflict between iron and clay is irreconcileable.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. |
The promises of God that are provided by Grace come by Faith. It is not sufficient to merely desire the blessings of God.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to the Lord must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.  |
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. |
So, God`s requirement is that we really believe what He says even to the point of denying everyone else.
Are we going to continue cutting bait or are we going to start fishing?
It is time for us to prove our Faith by our Works.
In order for the Works to manifest we must have pure Faith - Faith that proceeds from the Holy Spirit in accordance with the Word.
If you are halting between two opinions recognize that the enemy is playing with your head.
Resist the devil and he will flee. Turn to the Lord with all your heart. Trust Him with your life and see the Salvation of the Lord.
