Untitled Sermon (2)

Doubt? We all do it.

Eaxmples:

Moses, Aaron, and Miriam

Ex 3:1-10 God calls Moses

Moses displays doubt Ex 3: 11

Again in vs 13

Again 4:1

Miriam & Aaron Doubt Numbers 12: 1-2a

Look at the pattern from here. Miriam here is mimicking Eve. Gen 3:6

Aaron just like Adam should have stepped up here and spoke against what Miriam was doing.

Miriam and Aaron doubt God has placed them in the right position.

They think they should be on equal terms with Moses.

Who are we doubting?

Is it ourselves as Moses claimed? Who am I that...

Or like Miriam and Aaron: We should be prophets as well

Consequences:

Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land.

Miriam was separated from the people for 7 days with leprosy.

Who Are we doubting?

When we feel that the Spirit is prompting us to move or speak to someone do we really think we are doubting only ourselves?

Nathan mentioned Matthew 28:19-20 last week. Can someone show me where that command was ever rescinded? We are called as believers to be the face of Christ that others see. We are also called to be the hands and feet in today's culture. We should not isolate from culture, we should be immersed in it. Not allowing it to change us, but being salt and light to the world we live in.

Commands:

Duet 6:13 “You shall fear only the LORD your God; and you shall worship Him and swear by His name.

17-18 “You should diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you. “You shall do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to give your fathers,

Prov. 29:25 The fear of man brings a snare, But he who trusts in the LORD will be exalted.

How to conquer Doubt! S.T.E.P. (borrowed from Moody Radio)

S= Start and end every day with prayer. They do not have to be long and eloquent, just heart felt and honest. As a child to their Father.

T= Thanks giving. Be thankful for all that He has allowed you to go through. Blessings and trials.

E= Exchange thoughts of doubt for prayer. Ask for His strength to sustain and give you strength.

P= Practice the presence of God. Dwell in His presence. Allow Him to fill your mind and invade you very core.
