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.
