Let Not Your Heart (Mind) Be Troubled!

Trouble In My Way!

THE WORD MEANS... Trouble Trials, temptations, troubles, testings.

John - Didymus James 1:8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Thomas, Didymus (Twin) was not with them when Jesus appeared; when they told him, he did not believe, unless. . .

Many of us are troubled because we live in the “unless. . .”

Unless it happens to me

Unless I see it happen

Thomas did not have a twin, his name meant twin; I believe it refers to his double mindedness. .

The reason we are unstable at times and allow our hearts to be troubled is because we think twice. . .

Angels do not have free-will, they harken at The Voice of God!

We must get into a place that when God Speaks, we do not think twice, we just do!

Many times we are distorted due to lack of evidence naturally; once you put your hand in God’s Hand, there is no releasing it from God! Even when it seems as if you are journeying alone, God’s Hand is still with you!

Remember when Joseph and Mary were walking on, but noticed that Jesus was not with them and they return, frantically looking to find Him and when they did, He was “about His Father’s Business. . .”

God is with us and He has empowered us to continue on, but when trouble arise, do not become frantic and forget that although I may not see Him naturally. . .

He is in me always; therefore, I cannot allow my mind/heart to be troubled by the natural of a thing, I must allow The Power Of The Holy Spirit, Who is in me and He Who teaches all things, guide me and push me on!

Also, I must get pass the decision I just made and allow The Holy Spirit to guide me into making guided decisions!

It troubled them that they lost sight of The Promise - Then they felt as if they had to find it, no, you don’t have to find it, just declare (remind) yourself that The Promise is always with you - He cannot leave you for He has decreed it, which seals it!

Think of it as learning to ride a bike - When you first begin, you have training wheels, but when you become a bike ride, you no longer need the training wheels!

You can now balance yourself and propel yourself forward!

Many of us will cancel out the blessing before we even get started!

God has already instructed you to start the business and launch out into the deep, but, tell the truth, we think of all the things that could go wrong!

How about all the things that are right?

How about resting in His word? God says, I Am the one that begin the great work in you, and I am faithful to perform it, through you, nothing can change it. . . Isaiah 43:13 Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?”

Jesus told His Disciples about His Purpose, that He must go away, in order for The Comforter to come!

Yet, they heart was filled with sorrow, because they were so focused on the natural, the Supernatural seem to far fetched for them!

God has given you everything you need to keep on walking - Even when the storms arise, God has already gone before you to prepare the way!

He is Alpha & Omega - Awaken and rest in knowing that God has predestined you!

I realize, that it may be difficult to get pass some decisions you have made in this life; trust me, I know it is! Do not allow those decisions to bind you up, realize that you have dominion over those, God has redeemed you from that!

Gospel according to John - When Mary and The Disciples came to the tomb - the garments were laying apart

Dies - Does not always mean annihilation, or ceasing to exist; the basic meaning is to be separated. . .

Jesus separated everything that had you bound, He folded the thing that had you blinded, letting us know that no longer are you to be sleep, but awakened; He has removed the shame, no longer hide your face. . .

When your mind, thoughts are not fixed on The Promise, and you allow the temptations to sway you into believing that you are not who God called you to be, then you will become ashamed and afraid because you believe that The Power is not with you any longer!

You have loss sight of your location. . .

Genesis 3:10 (NKJV) 10  So he said, "I heard Your Voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself." Genesis 3:11 (NKJV)11a And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

Who told you to think that way? I Am He Who created you, regardless of your own thinking, I have the ability to look pass the fault to meet the need.

This is why, I believe, God has instructed us to bring our broken, contrite self to Him!

Adam was worried about the decision he had made, to the place that he loss sight of his location!

The Father Who built everything, knows all things, already knew what had happened!

I just believe Our Father wants us to realize that although you may have done this, or done that, do not hide from Me, I Am greater than that. . .

Some of us have allowed our current circumstances to speak louder than The Promise!

Our Father has already Blessed us, and when God speaks anything, His Word cannot return void; Blessed then, Blessed now, Blessed is what we are!

But because we have allowed religiosity to confound our thinking, we do like Adam did; we run and hide. . . .

David ran towards Goliath not away from him!

When you are awakened to The Giant that you are, you will realize that “Trouble Cannot Last Always. . .” These afflictions are light and only for a moment. . . The Glory that God has established to be revealed in us is not even worthy of comparison!

Let nothing you experience in this life redefine who God has destined you to be; you are more than coming over, you are over that. . .

When your mind, thoughts, are not troubled so much due to your current circumstances, and you are awakened to The Power that resides in you, then you know that God has illuminated you and will cause you to raise above what you thought had you bound naturally!

We hold back because we measure what we have, or the lack thereof, but when you go all in knowing that God can stretch your little, then you will not allow the desires of your flesh to cause you think anything differently than what God has instructed!

We have been so bound by sin, and the stain of it, that we still believe it is part of us!

One of the meaning of The basic meaning of death is separation.

Put to death those things that war within your members. . .

Present your body a living sacrifice. . .

Sin is not your greatest enemy, the inner-me is. . . Your thinking, if you allow it, can cause you to become bound by a thing you think is stronger. . . Or a Stronghold - Holding you strong. . .

You are over that - Genesis 4:7 (NKJV) 7  If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."

Hebrews 9:26-28 (NKJV) 26  He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27  And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28  so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

What Jesus Christ did when He Got up, let us know that regardless of the weight or the thoughts that attempts to trouble us, I have the strength to lift this weight up off me!
