Hindrances To Your Faith!
Lesson 1
My People Perish for Lack of Knowledge
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for
a lack of knowledge, because you have rejected
knowledge,
I will also reject you, that you shall
be no priest to me, seeing you have forgotten the law of
God,
I will also forget your children.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed
for a lack of knowledge, because you
have rejected knowledge, I will also
reject you, that you shall be no
priest to me, seeing you have
forgotten the law of God, I will
also forget your children.
I have heard many Christians that
are wondering why they didn't
receive from God for healing,
finances and so on. Well the first
reason that they are not receiving
is because they have a lack of
knowledge of what the Word of God
has to say about what they need.
Knowledge is an ingredient that is
vital in every situation of our
lives. That's why we get an
"Education" from the time we are
children right on into adulthood. We
even "Specialize" in getting an
education for the particular skill
we are wanting to have to get a good
job and survive in this world.
If we realize that we need an
education in everyday situations we
face in the "Natural World" Why do
we not realize that we need
education in the Spiritual World
even more. If we want to survive in
this world against the attacks of
the enemy...we need to know what God
has to say about it.
If you have no knowledge of God’s
word, you can not have faith in it.
In order to get healing, you must
have a knowledge of healing
scriptures. For prosperity,
prosperity scriptures and so on. But
it is much more then that. You can
have knowledge of these scriptures
and still not receive, because you
have a lack of knowledge of what you
mean to God and where you stand in
the line of receiving. I can read
the word about healing, but not
except it for me, because I don’t
think I am worthy of receiving. This
is another lie of the devil, to keep
you from receiving from God. A lot
of Christians do not know who they
are in Christ and so do not feel
they are worthy to receive the
promises of God. They feel that God
will give it to some, but not to
all. Well then they have a lack of
knowledge of what God is like,
because He is no respecter of
persons. If he will do it for one,
he will, and must do it for all. If
we don’t receive, it is not His
fault, it is ours.
Anyone that has taught you that God
may not want to heal you is as bad
as the lawyers that he rebuked in
Luke 11:52
“Woe to you experts in the law,
because you have taken away the key
to knowledge. You yourselves have
not entered, and you have hindered
those who were entering.”
What is the difference between them
and preachers or teachers that tell
us that God’s word doesn’t work for
everyone? No difference. Jesus
frowned on it then, and I am sure he
frowns on it now. It is our
responsibility to learn all we can
about the word of God and believe
that it is for "ME" not just someone
else. Anyone that tells you
different, is hindering the work of
God in your life.
Ephesians 1:15-18 For this reason,
ever since I heard about your faith
in the Lord Jesus and your love for
all God’s people, 16 I have not
stopped giving thanks for you,
remembering you in my prayers. 17 I
keep asking that the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,
may give you the Spirit of wisdom
and revelation, so that you may know
him better. 18 I pray that the eyes
of your heart may be enlightened in
order that you may know the hope to
which he has called you, the riches
of his glorious inheritance in his
holy people,
Ephesians 2:6-8 And has raised us up
together and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
that in the ages to come he might
show the exceeding riches of his
grace in his kindness toward us
through Christ Jesus. For by grace
are you saved, through faith and not
of yourselves, it is the gift of God
Not only is Jesus on the right hand
of the Father, he has raised us up,
and we are seated in Heavenly places
with Christ. FAR above the works of
the Devil. So what are we doing
being sick and poor and fearful?? We
are far above that. Above every name
that is named. Cancer is a name,
poverty is a name, fear is a name.
You think of anything and we are
above it. We don’t have to bow to
it. We will have plenty of
opportunities, but we need to just
pass them by. God wants us well! He
wants are needs supplied. He wants
us to have everything that pertains
to "Life and Godliness".
You need to get the knowledge out of
the word that you need for your
situation and let the devil know
that it belongs to you. That he
can’t hinder you from receiving
anymore and that Christ has made you
worthy of receiving it.
We have been delivered! Not going to
be, it's past tense! Satan has no
authority over you.
Satan will come to attack. He will
lie to you. Tell you that it's not
always God's will to heal. No one is
free from that. But we are free to
receive or reject what he brings. It
is our choice. Will we listen to the
traditions of man that tell us we
are not worthy to receive? Or the
word of God that says we are.
2 Peter 1:2-5 Grace and peace be
multiplied to unto you through the
knowledge of God and of Jesus our
Lord. According as his divine power
has given unto us all things that
pertain unto life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him that
has called us to glory and virtue.
Whereby are given unto us exceeding
great and precious promises, that by
these you might be partakers of the
divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world
through lust. And beside this giving
all diligence, add to your faith,
virtue, and to virtue knowledge.
So we already have all things that
pertain to life and godliness. We
just need to grab hold of that
truth! We are partakers of His
divine nature and escaped corruption
that is in the world. Is God sick??
Is cancer corruption? Is poverty
corruption? What do you need from
God?? Find it in the word, and
believe for it. Satan will fight you
all the way, but we have the
Victory! He has to let go, if we do
not let go of our Faith. Speak the
word! Whatever you need, God has
already provided it. We just need to
receive.
Galatians 3:1 Stand fast therefore
in the liberty where in Christ has
made us free, and be not entangled
again with the yoke of bondage.
We are not under the law we are
under Grace...and sons and daughters
of God. He has provided "complete"
salvation in Christ. Nothing left
out or left to chance. We just need
to gain knowledge of what he has
provided, and that he wants us to
have it all...and receive it.
