John 14:1 (NKJV) 1“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

God instructed Abram to leave his country, leave the place he knew, the place of his family and everything that anchored him there.
What do you do when the instructions seem to not make sense?
Abram moved on The Word of God! - He did not allow his thoughts to hinder him from following what God instructed him to do, he just rested in God’s Word of Promise!
Too often we are so arrested by our current status, we think that we cannot move another further based off what we see naturally.
God has already predestined you, His Plan is already in motion for your life, right now it may not make sense, but when you grow in Him, you will come to a place in your life that it does not need to make sense, I just believe what He says!
When God has given you instructions, to your natural, it will seem to not make sense, but because we do not walk in the flesh, we operate from The Holy Spirit, we know that it does not need to make sense because God said it and I believe it!
We rest in knowing that The Holy Spirit guides us into The Will of God, this is why we have joy, regardless because we have the knowledge of God and He will never lead us or guide us outside of His Will!
Many times we become so distracted by outward influences, we tend to give up too quickly and too easily!
The Bible says; Hebrews 12:1 -2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
That thought is too much weight, you need to lay that aside!
We have allowed ourselves to be arrested by our past, our mistakes, the thought of doubt, so much that we forget that God has already gone before us!
We forget the things that He has done for us! And we allow sorrow to fill our hearts because of the news we have received that pricks at our flesh!
Jesus told the Disciples, in John 15:27-John 16:9 - They will face ridicule, persecution, some will be killed, and because He said that, sorrow filled their heart!
He had been with them so long, and yet they were allowing their flesh to hinder them from believing!
The conscious decision is made in the heart. . .
This is why we cannot allow these matters to fill up our heart, the only Matter that need to occupy space in our hearts is the Matter of The Gospel Of Christ Jesus!
His unfailing Word, His Love, His care, His Joy that strengthens us!
Do you ever wonder why you get what you ask for? Well that is because you have authority within you, and your words have the ability to create what you speak, and what you think, is what you will say and do!
Romans 1:24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
God will not be mocked, as you think in your heart, so are you; this is why it is imperative that we do not allow the thought to hinder us because the heaviness and discouragement that you allow to dwell within your heart, will cause your heart to die! 1 Sam. 25:37 So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.
