Message Preached on November 13, 2022 by Evangelist Amanda L. Campbell
What seems to have taken place is we have surrounded ourselves with reality which we should. Yet, we have allowed what is going on around us to consume what Jesus can do. Allow faith to get aggressive enough, for your flesh to get frustrated. Feel like giving up, Jesus steps in the room. Anything you need, now is the time to get it from God. Remember the name of the Lord. The name of Jesus HAS power!
You have to recall in scripture and in this particular chapter in Luke, is that no matter where Jesus went, there was results. Healing took place, deliverance, or someone’s faith made whole. What you must do is get every doubter out of your circle, out of your mind, out of your home; and say as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. You need to tell these doubters to mind their business, and you focus on Jesus.
Peter, James, John, the father, and the mother of the maiden, were the only ones Jesus allowed to remain in the room. Sometimes we bring too many people around us with the wrong attitude. Those that don’t believe the same thing you are believing. You cannot allow someone else to tell you that God is not able. God wants you to know that there is too many people that doubt Him, that are around you. It’s not comfortable believing God in a hard place. Yet, without Faith it is impossible to please God (ref. Hebrew 11:6).
Faith will have you pray. It will make you live Holy. Faith will cause you to believe God on a level that seems crazy. Doubt is a feeling of uncertainty or a lack of conviction. It is disbelief of a person’s word or deed. Doubting says you don’t believe God can or capable of doing exceedingly and abundantly. If God can go to the Cross and rise of the third day, why can’t He take care of you?
What God is asking of you is to increase your faith. There is a measure of faith we are given. All we need is a little like that of a mustard seed. It is God’s hope that you do not stay with just a little faith. It is hope through the test and trials, God stretches you to believe that He can. God has more for you. He blesses much as you believe Him. Just know that desperate time calls for desperate measures. Where you have to be willing to lay some things and people aside, to get to Jesus. Being desperate for more of God should be the cry of every believing Christian. Seek Ye First the Kingdom (Matt. 6:33)!
God is giving you an opportunity to know you can be a living example, of what He needs you to be in this dying world. You do not have to be the one that has two opinions. No need to speak blessings and curses out of your mouth. No need to live up to the names others had given you. You are a child of God! There must be a changed behavior.
Restoration only comes from God! Your situation will turn around and bring God Glory. What you’re going through is only temporary. We have to be honest with ourselves in God. We need to change! First, the doubters must leave your vicinity. Take a look around and pray if there’s any doubters or doubt within you, ask God to remove it. You do not have much time left; make a decision.
What will you choose?
