Bible Question:
So why is there that little doubt in your mind? When Jesus was here he had no doubt. He said he knew the father was always with him. He never had that little doubt. He did always the things that please the Father. But you do not. Sometimes you do not know whether you do or not. That's the truth. Please don’t say it’s because Jesus was or is God. Please read on. When Jesus directed his disciples in fishing he told them to cast their nets on the right side of the ship; not the left, or front, or back. When they needed money to pay the tax he directed them to the fish with the coin in its mouth. Does he direct you, directly, like that? Please don’t say it’s because Jesus was here in person. Please read on. When the Lord spoke through Ezekiel, the prophet said, “The spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, ‘Go, shut thyself within thine house. And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover. But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD’”. Would you not like to be clear about God’s will as that? Please don’t say that was the Old Testament. Read on. It happened in the life of Paul the Apostle. After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately they endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called them for to preach the gospel unto them. Wouldn’t you like it if the Lord led you as definitely as that? But now he says sow the seed, though some may fall on bad ground. Preach the gospel even if it is the wrong season. Come to think of it, Jesus spoke to the people even when some had no ears to hear. Ezekiel was to speak whether the people would listen or not. Paul preached in Macedonia and got put in jail. And some of you are reading this and asking what’s the point. And some of you have an answer, mingled with doubt. You say God never leaves us alone and you forget that he sometimes does that “for a small moment” (Isa 54:7). You are not sure that he does not do that for a longer period of time. Are you confident he has given you the answer you are about to give? |
Bible Answer: I am very confident in the answer I'm about to give you I just read Isa 54:7 and I feel that the reason "for a small momentI have forsaken thee" is because the barren woman was considered to have sinned and the Bible says that God cannot look on sin which is why we must repent everyday if we want God to see us. About God leaving us alone, as a whole I still say know. Put it this way we as Christians always have a tendancy to say something told me to do this or something told me to do that. Like for instance if you were about to make a left turn and you all of a sudden changed your mind a made a right turn and later on you heard there was a fatal accident at the time you would've been on that street. that most definately wasn't your mind telling you that but if you pray like I do before I start driving you ask God to protect you from hurt harm and danger and God's way of doing that is by having you change your mind. Another thing I must say that I'm guilty of is we as a human race are always too busy we pray but we don't take the time to sit and listen to what God has to say in return. Think about it do you like to be involved in one sided conversations where you don't get a chance to talk. Neither does God so I still say He's always there and I stick by my previous scriptures. |
