The Challenge of Wavering Faith

When faced with a challenge or an unanswered prayer, it’s unlikely that we all would respond with joy. Dr. Stanley examines what causes our trust in God to waver and encourages us to address our own moments of fluctuating faith.

Do you often wonder why God hasn’t answered your prayer when you’ve come to him over and over again about the same issue and you tell him about it, you give him all the details and yet nothing happens.
Could it be? It’s because of your faith?
Not that you don’t have any but your faith sort of wavers. It’s strong today.
And tonight, we’re not sure strong tomorrow, maybe the next day it’s not so strong.
And so we have wavering faith that is, it comes and goes.
And then we wonder why God doesn’t hear and answer our prayer.
And James the first chapter.
And I want you to turn there if you will the second verse of the first chapter, he says, consider it all joy my brethren when you encounter various trials.
Now, we don’t like trials very much, but he just kind of joyful knowing that the testing of your faith is producing endurance that is there’s something good about the test and let endurance have its perfect result so that you may be perfect and complete lacking in nothing.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all generously and without reproach and it will be given him.
And then he says, but he must ask in faith without any doubting for the one who doubts is like the surface of the sea driven and tossed by the wind for that man or woman or not to expect to receive anything from the Lord being a double minded man or woman unstable in all their ways.
He’s simply saying this just because you pray for something once, doesn’t mean necessarily that God’s gonna answer it right then.
And oftentimes because God doesn’t answer on our schedule, we stop praying. And our conclusion is He’s not listening.
Or our conclusion is there must be something wrong with me.
In other words, because God doesn’t answer it on our schedule does not mean that He is not gonna answer it.
But sometimes God does what he lets us pray and pray and pray not to get Him to do it.
But we pray and pray and pray until God has accomplished his purpose in answering the prayer.
And it’s not always the fact that you get what you’re praying about.
Sometimes it’s about the way you get it.
And that is we have to wait, we have to trust him and we have to believe in our heart that God is hearing us.
We don’t see any evidence of it.
And I think all of us can say we’ve been through those times when we’ve prayed and prayed and prayed and we thought God, where are you?
Here’s what you’ve said. And I, I have to admit sometimes there have been times when I’ve held up the bible and said, see God, you read this verse, you wrote this and I just want you to see that.
I’m trusting you for it. And I don’t know why I’m not having an answer.
Well, because, uh, God doesn’t promise to answer on my schedule, but on His, and if you’ll think about it, who knows best when to answer your prayer.
We think we do but not always.
So I also think about this whole idea of, of the wavering of our faith and James lived close to the sea of Galilee, no doubt.
And when those hot winds would come down off the mountain across the sea and the storms that Jesus talked about and they were right in the middle of them and the waves would go this way and then they’d go that way and they shifts up and the ships down and they were scared to death knowing they were gonna sink.
He said that that’s the way our faith is.
Sometimes that is, it’s not steady, it’s not always the same.
So watch this, one of the marks of our devotion to Jesus is the fact that we can pray and pray and pray and we don’t give up because God didn’t answer on our schedule.
And so I’ll tell you how, you know, when you’re giving up when you think. Well, I don’t know.
Maybe I’m not asking the right thing deep down inside, you know, you are and you, and so you wake up one morning, you think God’s gonna answer my prayer today?
Praise the Lord. You’re excited. It doesn’t happen the next day you get up in that yard or what happened.
And so we judge ourselves, we condemn ourselves. We conclude that God does not always answer prayer.
He does always answer maybe not the way I like him to, but he’s always gonna answer it.
So, would you say your faith is sturdy, steady, consistent, believing, unwavering, trusting with all your heart, knowing that God is gonna answer your prayer, or would you say to, to be honest?
And I can’t believe Him as long as I get all the encouragement.
But sometimes I think God, where are you? Where are you God?
Why, why, why I haven’t you answered my prayer?
Do you think that fussing at God is gonna get Him to answer your prayer?
No, because what that says is, well, he’s accomplishing his task.
That is when we argue with God, what’s he doing? He’s showing us first of all, we’re impatient.
Secondly, we don’t know His will. Number three, we’re not ready.
And so what seems to us to be a mistake on the part of God or forgetfulness on His part is not that at all He’s in the process of teaching us listen to be consistent, to trust Him, to believe Him.
Now watch this, to believe Him when I don’t see any evidence. Real faith is I’m trusting God.
I’m believing what he says. Not because I see it, not because I feel it, but because he’s promised it.
Watch this carefully. You listening, say amen your connection to the source of all your blessings, your connection to the person who releases those blessings.
Your connection to your future eternity is in the person of Jesus Christ.
So that, that being true and we don’t get our answers when we want them.
We have to ask ourselves the question why? And here’s what it’s not. It’s not because God doesn’t care.
It’s not because He didn’t hear you. It’s not because He can’t answer it.
There are other reasons and one of the primary reasons is we think we’re trusting Him when we’re not.
If on Monday, I’m praising God up in the church.
I got all fired up with the music and the message and I God’s answering, pray, God.
This is a week for me to really pray.
God’s gonna answer my prayer and Thursday comes and you haven’t had a single answer yet.
And what is God saying? Maybe you’re looking at the wrong thing. And so what we do, we begin.
We don’t like to admit if we begin to doubt what God says, asking that should be given you seeking, you should fund not that should be able to, you the Lord, I’ve been asking since Monday and I don’t have an answer and uh then we record him some other verses and it doesn’t seem to impress God at all.
And so what happens? The next thing you know, where you think?
Oh, he’s not going to, oh, yes, he is.
Maybe he will, maybe, you know, and so up and down our faith goes wavering.
Faith doesn’t get anything from God.
So let’s think for just a moment what causes our faith to waver like that when we choose to go by our feelings, rather than the word of God, when we move our eyes from the word of God and His promises to how we feel we are going to begin to be unstable in our faith.
And God knew that the wonderful thing about this word, you never have to question what God says.
What he says is not just true. Sometimes it’s true all the time.
And when we choose to go by our feelings rather than the word of God, our faith is gonna be up today and down tomorrow.
So we put our feelings first. That’s one of the reasons we were.
Secondly, when we yield, listen, when we yield to reason rather than believe God.
In other words, you can’t go by reason because reason and faith do not always agree. God’s reason.
For example, for not answering my petition, the way I ask may not be the reason I would come up with, for example, we, when we come to God and asking big things of Him, we have all kinds of reasons to believe.
He will answer our prayer. It may be that God sees something we hadn’t thought about and he’s not about to answer our prayers that he deals with that.
So if there’s a reservation, if there’s a hesitation, if there is, if, if there’s an instance in which God is waiting, it’s because he has a legitimate good divine, helpful reason for it.
And I think oftentimes believers, because God doesn’t answer that prayer when we expect it.
What happens is we just doubt Him. We pout.
We think, well, there’s no point in me praying anymore because I ask God for this and every once in a while I’ll meet somebody that says, um I hear you talking about prayer.
I used to pray. I said, what do you mean? You used to pray?
Well, I prayed before and God didn’t answer my prayer.
So I just forgot that he just gave up on that. God didn’t answer prayer.
It’s amazing how juvenile and childlike we can become because things don’t happen the way we expect it.
And when we expect it. So ask yourself the question, do you go by reason or by the word of God?
And then a third thing when we fail to see God at work in our circumstances, that is if you don’t, if you don’t see God at work in your circumstances.
You’re gonna doubt what’s going on.
And remember this as a follower of Jesus, nothing can happen to you unless He allows it.
And so difficulty, hardship, pain, suffering moments of death. He why does he allow this?
Because He’s trying to grow us up. And so we fail to see God in our circumstances.
What happens is we begin to wobble in our faith.
How is He going to grow us up if he doesn’t test us, if he doesn’t try us, if he doesn’t allow us to face things that we don’t understand things that we don’t like things that, that oftentimes will drive us to the world.
I think at times I’ve been in situations and I thought God you gotta speak to my heart and I’ll flip to something like this.
The counsel of the Lord stands for ever. I just happen to turn to that.
But that’s what He usually does. Not all the time, but turn me right to the verse of scripture.
He knows I need because all of us are gonna face tests and trials and one or two things will happen.
I’ll turn to him and trust him.
I’ll turn to the word of God and read and strengthen my faith or I find myself wobbling and wasting time.
And oftentimes that’s where people get in trouble. Well, if, if God loved me, he wouldn’t let this happen.
You listen, you stay out of the world if you got a few days and you’re in trouble because the devil loves for you to leave the word because then he can check into your thinking things that are not true.
The next thing you know, you’re doubting God. And so God, he knows this.
He knows exactly when to answer your prayer. He doesn’t have to check, check a clock.
He didn’t have to check the calendar. He knows exactly when you’re ready.
That’s true of every blessing everything we ask of God. He know, he knows, watch this.
He knows exactly the right time because on big issues, often times sometimes small big issues.
God has a very particular time to do what we’ve asked him to do in order to accomplish what he wants to accomplish.
That is God isn’t just interested in meeting my desires. He’s interested in doing what he’s interested primarily listening carefully.
He’s interested primarily in shaping us into the lightness of his son, which means I have to learn to be patient, trust him when I don’t feel like trusting him, trust him, when I don’t see anything in sight, trusting him when I’m tempted to give up.
But trust him, he’s not promised to do it on my schedule.
All of us have a divine schedule, but we can’t run it.
God knows exactly at the right time to meet every single need we have and sometimes he waits a long time.
Sometimes he waits a long time and we give up and we go back and we give up and we go back and we give up and we go back and remember this.
If you watch this carefully, if you have asked something that’s in the will of God, relax, it’ll come in his timing when he knows you’re ready and he’s ready and you’re receiving it at this time will enable him to accomplish what he wants to accomplish in your life.
He’s in charge. Then sometime we listen to negative counsel from other people.
How many people have said to you?
Well, you must be something wrong with what you’re asking for because how long have you been praying for that?
And I think about people, for example, who are looking for a husband or a wife or something as serious as that and they’re thinking, ok, God time is going by God.
God, where are you? Here’s what you promise. Let me ask you a question.
How many of you believe that God forgets His promises?
We all believe He doesn’t forget right?
Then the next question is God, what are you trying to say to me?
Because God is more interested in his purposes for our life, then he’s interested in what our purpose is and how often have people given up Lord?
Ok, maybe this is just not for me in life. So I’m just, I’m just gonna trust you.
And all of a sudden everything unfolds God is in the process of teaching us to trust Him.
God loves to answer our prayer.
Listen to what he says, ask that shall be given you see and you shall find knock and it shall be open to you.
So think about why you find yourself wavering in your prayer request because think about this, what do we call them?
Our heavenly, what Father, our heavenly Father loves us.
And if you think about this, the next time, you think God doesn’t care.
All you have to do is remember this, look at the cross.
You wanna know whether He cares or not. Look at the cross, there’s nothing to equal that.
There’s no love equal to what God did through his son, the Lord Jesus at the cross of Calgary, nothing that will ever happen will match that.
And so when we give up, we don’t realize what God’s up to.
He’s always up to something good no matter what it might be.
And so when we listen to native counsel, we’re heading for trouble.
Listen, if you’re asking God about something in your life, probably it’s best that you keep it to yourself.
Some things you can ask other people to help you pray about naturally.
But then there’s some things that God just wants the two of you, just the two of you to deal with it.
Don’t talk to anybody else about it, just talk to me about it and you say, ok, well, Lord, I’ve been talking to you three months and you haven’t done anything.
Yes. Watch this. Yes. He has. Listen carefully when you think God hasn’t done anything.
He’s had three months to work on you and, and to get you ready for the answer.
And oftentimes right before God has it all prepared for us, we want to give up.
We say God hasn’t heard me. We walk away from God at a pivotal point in our life.
Don’t forget that I see it happening all the time. Well, I’ve been praying. Well, what happens?
Well, you know what, I’ve decided, God just hadn’t heard me. Yes, he has. Think about this.
Why wouldn’t God listen to you? You say, well, I’ve never been saved.
He’s waiting for you to recognize your sinfulness, cry out to Him to save you.
So don’t give up on God. He knows exactly where you are in your life.
Then of course, when we focus our thinking on our circumstances rather than God, what does He do?
Remember this? He always has is his objective, a love and devotion and commitment to Him.
Our mind is on something else. His mind is on what will build our relationship.
And so when we think about, we focus on the circumstances and we think, well, how could God now, now that this has happened, how could God possibly do anything with this?
You can’t rush God, you cannot hurry. God. Does God care? Yes. Do you care? About everything. Yes.
Care about everybody. Yes. But he knows the right time, the right place, the right person or the right things, whatever it might be.
God knows exactly what you need. He knows exactly the right time to provide it.
He knows how long to withhold it until He gets your attention.
Would you say that God wants the best for you or just pretty good the best He wants the best for us?
Then I must be willing to wait for the best asking that she’ll be giving you seeking.
You should find knocking that she’ll be open to you. Three simple promises of God.
You know why He said it?
Because He wants to answer our prayer ready to answer our prayer because it doesn’t come when I’m expecting it or anticipating it or it doesn’t come like I expected it to come.
We give up.
We say God doesn’t answer prayer or we conclude God’s not listening or we conclude, I must have done something wrong back on in my life somewhere along the way.
And now God doesn’t answer my prayer. All of these are satanic traps that fall into.
And when I think about that circumstances, you, you can’t go by circumstances, then of course, um one of one of our problems is we’re sort of ignorant of God’s ways.
In other words, there’s nothing in the Bible that says, asking it shall be given to you immediately.
That’s what we wish you would say, but it doesn’t say that.
And when you think about how God operates, watch this whatever we are asking for, that may be the will of God.
Usually He has not only that but something else in mind also. And God is a loving God.
In other words, God isn’t. God isn’t trying to withhold anything good from us is that our faith begins to waver because we don’t get it when we want it the way we want it.
And it may be that we don’t get it through whom we expected it to come.
And the more we understand the ways of God, the more patient we’ll become when it comes to answered prayer because oftentimes He withholds watch this.
He withholds what I’m looking for because He’s got something better than I was looking for.
Think about this, God, you’re a heavenly father.
Why would he withhold from you anything that’s good for you?
Why, why would he give you something less than the best?
And I, I think back through my life, how many years I’ve been a Christian.
God has never withheld anything from me unless he gave me something better. I’ve thought about that many, many times.
God, thank you for not letting me have that. Thank you God for making your choice.
So ask yourself the question. Are you usually demanding when you come to Him when you make a request?
Are you willing to say, Lord? Here’s what I’d like to have here. Here’s what I have my eye on.
Here’s what I’m praying for. I’m trusting you now. Lord, I, I need this in 60 days. No, you don’t.
And, and listen, watch this time. Time time becomes an issue in your prayer life.
Have to leave that to God. You have to leave it.
You have to leave the time to God. Would you not agree if he’s omniscient?
He knows exactly the best time. So we sit in church and say, oh, yes, I know that’s true.
But Tuesday night, you may think. Well, God, where are you? His timing is perfect timing.
And I can give you an example of the example of personal things in my own life where he’s been right every single time.
And there have been times when I thought God and I remember on one occasion, there was a very critical moment in my life.
And so I remember coming back from breakfast that morning and uh kneeling down and talking to the Lord.
And I thought, I don’t feel you very close. God, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
I prayed, I cried, I bathed, I pleaded, I reasoned, I fussed.
I argued, I did everything possible.
And the longer the week went by the worse, I got Saturday night when I’d given up said, ok, forget it.
You got, just forget it.
Saturday night, I didn’t get down to pray by my bed.
I didn’t open the Bible. I I just said, forget it.
I remember walking out and um you know how you brush your teeth, look in the mirror.
I was brushing your teeth, look in the mirror like what God said to me, what did you ask me for?
And I remember being very hearty and saying, oh God, I’ve been asking why are you, what are you doing this this week has been a horrible week, went back and sat down God beautifully and he quietly answered what I was asking for and it was fantastic.
And you know what? I had to get on my knees and confess and confess and repent and repent and repent about my, about my uh lack of patience and blaming God and accusing God and pointing the scriptures and tell him, well, God, what about this verse?
And what about that verse? God is interested in growing us up?
He’s interested in growing us up. Listen. He says he’s pre watch this, predestined.
That is He’s predetermined to conform us to his likeness.
Well, let me ask you this, how many of you think you’re, you’re pretty much like Jesus today?
Nobody. Well, if that’s true, doesn’t he have the right to keep working until He gets us where He wants us any time?
You think you’re about there, here’s what happens.
He uses a dose of something in order to remind us he’s still working on this.
And I don’t know whether this will be encouraging or discouraging.
But until the last day of your life in the last moments of your life, he’s gonna be working on you.
You know why? Because he predestined us to be this.
He predetermined divinely to conform us to the image of his son that was above everything else.
If you wanna know what Jesus thinks, what, what God, the father thinks, what’s his primary ultimate objective?
Not getting you to heaven. He’s gonna do that but conforming you to the lightness of his son now while we’re here.
So what would you have to do in your life to get you looking more like Jesus?
Well, you don’t wanna answer that because nobody knows you but you and the Lord, he know he knows that secret something in your life that he’s been working on.
He knows something that you don’t feel worthy of. So he knows exactly where we are.
So he’s working at us and he wants to deepen our faith, strengthen our faith, change our negative attitudes and, and our lack of faith.
He always has our best interest at heart.
And so whatever he’s doing in your life is God loving you into his image, working on your life till He gets you where he wants you.
Will we ever be that totally in this life?
No, but think about this, here’s the will of God. He’s gonna work on us.
He’s gonna work in us. He’s gonna work for us till we breathe that last breath.
And his ultimate purpose is shaping us, conforming us into his lightness because one of these days he knows he’s gonna call our name and we’re gonna stand before him.
He’s got big plans for all of us.
And they have to do with, listen, they have to do with making us like himself conforming us of the lightness of the image of Christ.
That’s what he’s interested in all this other stuff. Something we do.
So we’re ignorant of God’s ways.
And one of the things that causes our faith to wobble is our guilt over present or past sins and watch this carefully as I’ve talked to people over the years.
One of the biggest handicaps to trust in God is they look back instead of looking at God and His love and forgiveness and kindness, they look back and they think, how could God ever love me for what I’ve done?
How could you ever love me? What I’ve been where I’ve been, what I’ve been?
And so we judge ourselves and the devil he loves that. God doesn’t want you looking back.
He wants you looking straight toward him. He forgives every sin.
He wipes it clean with the blood of Jesus. We are his Children. He’s conforming us to his lightness.
He’s working in our life every single day because He knows ultimately where we’re gonna be.
So, ask yourself the question. Is your face solid, strong, immovable or is it with you?
Was, you don’t be like the waves of the sea coming and going.
So how do we correct our wavering faith? We correct it by asking the following questions.
So I have a list of them, ask yourself the following questions.
Number one, where are these doubts coming from? Where are these results coming from?
Probably something in your past or something going on in your life.
Listen, when you are asking God about your life and you are in the process of living in sin, you’re gonna have confusion.
Listen, a spirit of confusion will envelop the life of a person who’s living in sin and talking to God.
You, you’re gonna have, you’re gonna have a feeling of, of confusion.
Where are these deals coming from? Secondly, you think about this.
Did God promise to meet all your needs? Well, I hear a couple of yeses.
How many of you would say God? Yes. He, he’s promised to meet all my needs. Amen.
Has he? Oh, he must have missed somebody.
Not only has He promised it, watch this. He’ll meet all of our needs.
Not all of my wants, not all of my desires, but all of my needs.
Now, why doesn’t he meet all my wants and all my desires? Because He loves me too much.
If my wants and my desires come into conflict with the word of God, he’s not gonna answer it.
Why? Because He loves us too much to give us what we shouldn’t have.
Thank God.
He’s not giving me a few things that I’ve asked for because listen, he always has something better and think about this, we all would say yes, he’s promised to meet all of our needs.
Think about this. Did he not promise to be with us all the time?
What’s that verse? Real short? I will never leave you nor forsake you.
How many of you have ever felt left and forsaken by God? The rest of you?
Not being honest? Sure. You have at some point. You think God, where are you? Yeah.
Why don’t you answer Marra, what, what’s going on?
He’s always interested in drawing us to himself and making our life count.
Somebody says, well, sometimes I don’t feel God’s presence. Watch this.
Why, why, why has he made it so that sometimes I don’t feel His presence. Why would God do that?
Can you have a good reason? Sure. Because He doesn’t want us to live by our feelings.
He knew we would, we’d vacillate. I feel fantastic today. Well, God was so close yesterday.
God’s know where to be. In other words, if we live by our feelings, we would never know where we are in our relationship to God.
Because for example, is it not true that sometimes you get up and you want to head out to do whatever you do.
And it’s like you left God back at your house or when you got out of your car, you left Him there, or when you left your business, you, you left him there.
In other words, we don’t always have this jolly feeling that God is with me.
Because if I lived that way, I’d be living by my feelings.
We live by what truth we live by the truth. I will never forsake you. I will never leave you.
We live by truth of, of the word of God.
And sometimes we come to fork in the road in our life.
We have to make choices and some of these choices are very, very serious.
That’s why living in the word of God is so very important because the truth is, this book is our spiritual compass and listen, it never points in the wrong direction, whatever you’re looking for, whatever you’re seeking God to give you guidance and direction for you, get in the Word of God and start reading, you say read where well, it’s, you have some favorite places but reading the Psalms, read the Proverbs or reading epistles or wherever it might be.
And it’s like a compass and it’s always pointing in the right direction.
If I don’t live in the word of God, my faith is going to waver and then listen to this.
Did he not give you one of the greatest gifts of all?
And that is when you were saved, he dwelt you with the Holy Spirit. That is, listen to this.
God says, I’m gonna send the Holy Spirit who will be in you with you and upon you.
He’s gonna be your guide. He’s gonna be your helper, the para, he’s gonna be your helper.
He’s gonna be the source of your strength. He’s gonna be there for you any time anywhere in any circumstances.
He’s gonna be the one who empowers you enables you. He’s gonna be your very life. That’s our security.
That’s our absolute assurance. And so once you receive Christ as your savior, listen to this.
He loves you so much, you cannot be lost.
Watch this once he writes your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
You, you’re trusting Him as your savior. There’s nothing in the Bible about eras.
None in there.
Nobody can erase your name from the Lamb’s book of Life because it’s written with indelible divine ink cannot be erased in any condition.
Once you’re saved by the grace of God, watch this grace says in the very beginning I, I don’t deserve it.
Grace is all about love and forgiveness and cleansing and acceptance.
Once you trust Him as your personal should be a name written in Lamb’s book of Life and what you sin against God, you get chastised, you sin against God.
You pay the price, but watch this. The price is never your soul, never your soul.
Once you’re saved by the grace of God, you’re forever saved. You start living in sin. What happens?
Chastisement comes and you He He will chastise you so well, how, how much will he chastise me?
He’ll chastise you until you think you can’t stand it anymore. And you get straightened out with God.
That may be where you are this morning. You may have to admit.
Well, you know what, I got out of the will of God back and I told God, I, I didn’t want to live that way anymore.
It didn’t work for me. So I showed up this morning hoping I’d hear something to help me.
Once you trusted Jesus Christ as your personal savior, you are forever a child of God.
You may be a child of God and lots of doubt, lots of fears, things are not working right in your life.
But what this but not lost, not lost because He loves you because He cares because He has the best for you.
This is holy God who said I’ve sealed you until the day of redemption.
That is when He calls us home, sealed, secured forever. We have no reason to doubt him.
And every once in a while I’ll meet somebody who says to me, you don’t know what I’ve done in my life.
I said, doesn’t make any difference. No.
But if you knew the kind of life I lived, you wouldn’t be talking to me about God’s love.
Yes, I would. No matter what you’ve done where you’ve done it with him didn’t make a difference.
This is the awesome forgiveness of God on the cross, every single solitary sin that man has or could ever possibly commit.
The price has been paid for your forgiveness, your salvation for all eternity.
He’s an awesome God. He loves us with the love that we can’t even describe.
And when I think about people whose faith waivers, I think sometimes they must think that there must be something too hard for God.
No, it’s a matter of surrendering to Him and watching you work in your life.
That’s who God is. He’s this awesome infinite God full of love. That’s indescribable.
I ask you one last question.
What could almighty God have done to prove his love for all of us that even matches what he did at the cross.
What else could he do to prove his love for God?
So love the world that he gave his only begotten son that who ever watch this?
Whoever believes in Him not works for Him, not labors for Him, whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have eternal life.
Do you believe Him? Do you believe He died for your sins?
Do you believe that when he went to the cross? He paid your sin debt in full.
Are you willing to ask Him to forgive you of your sins or into your life to him and start lightless and begin life ane with Jesus in your life sealed by the Holy Spirit.
And all of these days welcomed into heaven by Almighty God, trust him.
Don’t let your faith waver know who you are, know what he’s done for.
You know where your name is written and know that. Listen, watch this.
You can’t sin enough to erase your name from the Ham’s Book of Life.
You can’t you say, well, I’m, no, no, no, no, no, you can’t.
He doesn’t forgive our sins partially or for a limited amount of time when we confess him as our savior sealed by the Holy Spirit.
And all of these days welcomed into heaven by Almighty God. Amen. Father.
We thank you for loving us and we look at the cross and think, oh, how unworthy we are.
Oh, how much you must love us.
Show us how to live out what you’ve done for us and what you do for us.
Continually deliver us from all doubt, all fear and may we rest.
Absolutely and totally in your loving arms. In Jesus name.
Amen.
