What about Doubt and Unbelief?
Journaling

Lord,
what do you want to say to me today about doubt and unbelief?
Jym,
it makes me happy that you are coming near to me with all your heart.
I delight to take you deeper in my presence and teach you my ways.
Doubt and unbelief are enemies of faith. When you doubt, you simply
take your eyes off me and turn somewhere else. Learning to trust my
voice is a key to the Kingdom. I have many things to teach you and
show you, and you are learning to tune to the flow of my Holy Spirit
this is very good, because we are making an important connection. I
can flow thorough you to meet your needs and the needs of others who
desperately need to come to the Light and remove their doubt and
unbelief. Let My Light permeate your heart and the Light will flow
out of you to bring glory to me and bless others.
Thank
you, Lord.

“The
entrance of thy Word brings Light.”
“Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path...”
“Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path...”
Lord,
please give me light and illumination of your Word and your Ways. I
want to grow and to know your ways; wisdom from above.... Wisdom is
seeing all of life from your perspective. I want to write
Spirit-anointed books, articles, and develop media, to teach, preach,
and train others in your commands.
From
the time I spoke, “Light Be” light has been. Its sources of power
and effulgence are from my heart— I am the Light of the world.
Light has come into the darkness. The world was at one time in
darkness, but Light has come into the darkness. The world was dark,
void, and formless, until I spoke, “Light Be.” The whole earth
received that balance of light and darkness in order to bring forth
the vegetation and to provide the matrix for life to be sustained. I
always prepare the way before you. My Light shines into the darkness
and gives revelation and illumination so that you can move forward in
faith, hope, and love. I illuminate all that has its roots and
foundation in my Word, because I am the Living Word. My words are
Spirit and they are Life!
Wisdom
has its origin in Me—if anyone lacks it, he can ask me and I will
give it liberally. Even the heart that has not known my power to
change it can receive wisdom from above. I am a teacher, and so I
want all my “class” (students) to receive understanding and
light—not all have taken advantage of the Light and the revelation
of wisdom. But to those who have, it is the power of God unto
salvation.
Yes,
son, the cross was that pivotal revelation. To those who receive it,
and testify about it, receive wisdom from above! This confuses those
who seek wisdom from the world. This wisdom never gets you anywhere.
My “hidden wisdom” - a thing withheld from the worldly wise, but
to those who receive and who understand it is life transforming.
Those
who receive spiritual wisdom from me, take from me and impart to
others bring life, dispel the darkness, and root out, throw down,
destroy, overthrow and then have the foundation of wisdom to build
and plant (Jeremiah 1:10).
You
are awesome, Lord! Your revelation is worth waiting for!
Riches, Honor, and Life

This
morning I was meditating on Proverbs 22. Various verses stood out and
land upon my spirit:
22:4
– The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord are riches,
honor, and life. I asked the
Lord to share his thoughts and insights about these verses.
Humility
is greatly honored in the Kingdom (let
this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus – Philippians 2:5). A
humble man has a teachable spirit. He is slow to get angry, patient
and kind. Meekness and humility are attitudes of the heart. What a
man is really, is what is in his heart. Men can act out in the
physical, but they cover their internal motivations. Most men regard
physical strength, mental sharpness and prowess to be characteristics
of a “real” man. But the Lord looks at the heart of a man. This
is what he is really. A humble man has nothing to hide. He can be
transparent with God, with those he loves, and with others around
him.
The
fear of the Lord is a quality of reverence and respect. It is
reflected in faith and works. As a man humbles himself before Me, he
is demonstrating the fear of the Lord. Willingness to receive
instruction and grow from it are characteristics of this quality.
Riches
both spiritual and physical – true provision
Honor:
a man who walks in
humility and the fear of the Lord is honored by God and by his
fellowman. These are natural byproducts and fruit that will grow and
reproduce.
Life:
fulness of life, living it to the full—enjoying life and all it
brings. Enjoy the creation, your family, and the blessing of friends.
This kind of life is infectious. Others will come to your light.
Thank
you Lord! Awesome insight.
22:6
– Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he
will not depart from it. What
would you say to me here, Lord?
Training
is a very difficult challenge, because it requires consistency and
devotion. Many leave the training of their sons and daughters to
others, to tutors and governors. But really, your children should be
your delight and training them “in the way” should become a
central focus of their growth years. Busyness and other stresses can
often short-circuit the training process. As a father, make sure sons
and daughters are taught the Living Word of God. Show them by example
how to trust Me. Often a child has more spiritual insight and wisdom
then adults, simply because his faith is pure and there is not a
history of unbelief that has to be overcome.
Lay
a strong foundation in the early years, and your sons and daughters
will rise up to engage their full inheritance and find their purpose
quickly in My Kingdom. When they are old, they will have learned to
teach their sons and daughters “in the way” they were taught and
so on to many generations.
Thank
you so much, Lord!
