Hello Ladies!!! It's official, I am up and running in the tech world. Oh MY!!!
Last nights class was centered around Mathew 17 and Mark 9...where the boy with seizures was healed. He was not healed however by the disciples that were given an opportunity by the boys father. His father brought him to the disciples but they were unable to heal the boy. Why?!
The disciples then asked Jesus, why is it that we could not cast the demon out.
Jesus replied..."because of your unbelief"! When Jesus explained to them that this kind comes out only through prayer and fasting...Was He speaking of the demon...or...was He was speaking of their unbelief.
If Jesus would have been talking about the demon...Wouldn't He then pray and fast before casting out the demon. But Jesus just commanded the demon to go and the boy was healed!
Do you fast? In the Bible it does not say "If you fast". It is very clear that it says "When you fast".
Fasting is something every believer needs to practice. Why? One of the reasons is clearly to help us in our "belief or unbelief". Obviously, when Jesus is talking to the disciples...He is talking to us as well. He is wanting a people that actually believe Him.
Is being skeptical of the Word of God a good thing? Absolutely Not! We get to be believers. A believers role is to believe. Does God see a body of believers who actually believe Him or who unfortunately doubt Him.
Which one are you?

Wow Lori, Nicole here. I am so excited this is all finally coming together technically!! I researched how to do podcasts so I'll have to chat with Neana about it all. :) I am so excited for the progress and advancement of your ministry!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!!
I would love to share a testimony here. Fasting has been a big part of my walk with the Lord and no two fasts have ever looked the same. After Lori's teaching on this, the LORD showed me that there was one area in my life where the enemy was still able to cause me to fall into doubt and unbelief at times. HE told me to go on an 8 day fast but to prepare in advance this time. I researched and typed up what I was believing for and all of the scriptures that I was going to meditate and stand on. This time, when the fast began, I had breakthrough immediately! My time with HIM was so very sweet and HE poured out revelation knowledge to me every single day! By the end of the fast, I was completely delivered from all doubt in this area of my life!!!! I stand in awe of HIM! HIS word does not return void and when we are obedient to do what HE has called us to do in HIS word, we reap abundantly!!! I LOVE YOU JESUS! Neana
