Hardened Hearts and Stiff Necks
I believe, Lord help my unbelief.
I believe, Lord help my unbelief.
The evil one strives to blind me to the Light of the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob
Praise be to HIS holy name!
Praise be to HIS holy name!
Praise be to HIS holy name!
We give thanks for callings! We give thanks for choosing! We give thanks for what is sent and what is taken away!
For we were dead, and you made us alive, made us righteous, made us holy, made us pure through the work of YOUR spirit
Through the power of faith..THE GOD of Abraham, Issac and Jacob
Praise be to his Holy Name!
I was a heathen…In many ways, I am still a heathen…being shaped as a potters clay
I can remember being a heathen,
I called myself and shaman and burned sage on everything
I spoke to the ancestors and asked them for guidance
I prayed to God but I was my own God and I did not know or care about Jesus…
I was an unbeliever….when I got saved…
When I got saved for the first time the first thing that I asked God for was faith,
I didn't know how to believe. I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE…
And so I asked the Lord, without knowing what I was doing or asking for…for Faith…
I am a man of hardened Hearts and Stiff necks…born of a race bred in Sin, little Cains and Balaams rebelling against your omnipotence
I believe, LORD help my unbelief.
I believe, LORDs help my unbelief.
Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today,"
Today, FATHER, I call upon Your power…..and I pray that you will hear me….I know that you will hear me….
FATHER, I pray that you search my heart and bring me into submission and obedience to Christ.
Lord, help me believe ever letter of your word, help me to follow every instruction, to internalize every precept….
Unbelief is sin…..again, in case that didn't sink in….unbelief is a sin…..
And I don't want be one you never knew…
Lord sometimes it's a struggle…When the pain cuts all the way to bone, when I can't tell up from down, when it seems like the world is out to get me, Lord sometimes it's a struggle…
Lord sometimes, it's a fight, a war…sometimes Lord it takes everything I have to take a step, to take half a step, to lift my foot up off the ground Lord, and I know that it's your hand grabbing my heel and giving me the little bit of strength I have Lord, and I know that your promises are true…
Lord, Help to never draw back, I don't want to draw back, Lord help me to stay with you, stay in you and stay under you, Lord help me to see what only Faith can see and hear only what Faith can hear because we see not by sight but by faith…
We are a people of Hardened Hearts and Stiff necks and The Serpent is clever, and he wants to sift me like wheat and I am weak…
I AM weak without you…..In my weakness, YOUR strength is made perfect, and I made new
The DRAGON….this ancient Seprent…he wants to give every reason in the world to be a Doubting Thomas and to cause us to forget that the LORD stands with you, that Jesus died for you, that Salvation is yours…That the KINGDOM of HEAVEN is here, and the GATES of HADES will not prevail against it! VICTORY! VICTORY!
I believe, Lord help my unbelief.
I believe, Lord help my unbelief.
I believe in Miracles.
I believe that you will return for your Bride.
I believe that you will judge righteously.
I believe that in you is Joy, in you is Love, in you is hope, in you eternal life
I believe that you took the punishment for me Lord, you took the lash, and the blows, and the pain, and the humiliation, you took that for me Lord, for us Lord. For all of us Lord
I believe in You
I believe in You
I believe every word you've said and I don't care
I don't care what this world tells me….I am dead to this world and of I ever knew better I would have known I've always been…
So Lord I believe….help me with my unbelief
I don't want to be a man of hardened Hearts and Stiff Necks
I don't want a mustard seed, FATHER, I want a Mountain….I WANT your BEST LORD, I want to give you my BEST, FATHER
I want to Love like you Lord,
I want to Love like you Lord,
I want to Love like you Lord…I
want a Love that is Supernatural….I want a faith that is Supernatural..I want a belief that is driven, shaped, molded, sculpted by the Holy Spirt Day by Day, Minute by Minute
And so I choose Faith…I believe….
And I thank you
Amen
Mark 17-24
17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”
19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
