When you uncover the reasons you disbelieve, you can learn to believe what you didn’t believe before.
Uncover it! That’s my message today.
1 John 4:6 Says this: We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us.
Matthew 28:19 says this: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Believers know God so they can hear what other believers say about God. People who do not know God cannot hear what is said about Him. They hear but they cannot understand. This sounds contrary to the call to go and make disciples. How can we do that if the nonbeliever cannot hear what is said about God?
Learning to become a believer means uncovering what keeps you in a state of disbelieving. A believer is someone who has simply learned to believe things about the Lord what they once disbelieved. A believer has learned to uncover and overcome the thing that made them disbelieve.
The Lord wants the believer to help the nonbeliever to learn about what they are missing. Our work is to help them learn to uncover the knowledge they are missing about the Lord. When you cannot uncover what keeps you from believing, you cannot hear what you should believe.
Many people don’t see an issue with not believing in the Lord because they cannot see a benefit to believing while they are living. Also, they cannot see a consequence of not believing because to them death is the end of life. People like this choose to live in a way that is comfortable for them. They never uncover what keeps them from becoming believers because their belief is to disbelieve.
The believer knows nonbelief is a problem. While the nonbeliever looks for proof that God is real, the believer has uncovered enough insight about God to know that there is nothing that can disprove that God is not Who He says He is.
The nonbeliever tries to validate the truth of why they disbelieve. But the believer, by uncovering and learning, lives to validate why they cannot disbelieve. Uncovering what keeps you from disbelieving will make you a more effective disciple for the nonbeliever.
The Holy Spirit will help you learn to uncover the things that would make you disbelieve. He will help you to:
Uncover and know what makes you disbelieve the Lord and to and never allow it to go hidden.
He will help you to own that you are the reason you believe as you do or that you disbelieve. No one else can keep you from either believing or not believing. The Holy Spirit will help you personalize your problem. It is yours to own.
He will help you to attack the problem of disbelief with belief. Yes, I mean attack it. He will help you to challenge your attitude, behavior, conduct or whatever it is. He will help you change what you must change so that you believe what you must believe about the Lord.
He will help you to overcome what keeps you where you are before what keeps you where you are overcomes you. When you uncover what keeps you back, move forward so it cannot come back to you. Disbelief wants you to stay where you are believing just as you do.
Uncover the things that hinder your belief, then you will be a better help and witness to those who are held by their own disbelief.
When God uncovers for you things about your belief that no man could know, you should believe more of the things that only God can uncover about you.
Live a Delivered Life. Love you
