Trusting God in Our Situation

Posted by Vancollins On May - 11 - 2009

In chapter 2 of Intensive Faith Therapy we see that we do not always know why we are in the situations that we are in. Perhaps the situation is to strengthen our faith in God. Maybe it is to show us areas that we have not yet committed to God. It maybe time for us to show patience or it could be time for us to take dominion and get things happening. There is no one answer for all situations. We must seek God personally about our situation. Trust Him and ask for wisdom on how to proceed. He has promised that if we lack wisdom, all we need to do is ask.

The Desires of Our Heart

Posted by Vancollins On May - 11 - 2009

The promises of God are exciting. However, many times in our excitement, we fail to read and understand the entire promise. Some of the promises given to us in the Word of God are conditional. That means that the promise is valid as long as we satisfy the requirements that are given. We are often disappointed and our faith is injured when we try to stand on conditional promises without fulfilling the conditions.

As we read in the lesson, there are four conditions or commands that are given in this passage. One command is so important that it is mentioned twice. That condition is to trust God. The other conditions include:
• Doing good
• Delight in the Lord
• Commit our ways to the Lord

However, if we do not trust God, we will not be able to do the other commands. It is only when we meet these conditions that we can boldly stand on the promises.

So, before we stand on this promise, let’s do some soul searching. Do we trust God or do we put our trust in the economy? Do we take pleasure in God or is it a chore to get up and pray or spend time with him in worship? What about committing our ways to the Lord? Since none of us are perfect, there will always be areas that we need to commit to God. However, are there areas in our lives that God is trying to get you to address now? Are you listening to His leading or just trying to do your own thing?

We are people of promise. God wants us to live in His Word and to abide in Him. We have three new promises to add to our list as well as some new conditions that we must strive to meet. Don’t panic! We are well able to do that which the Lord has commanded.
