If you read Matthew 17 where the disciples ask Jesus why they couldn’t heal the boy his response isn’t “Because of my divine will” or “it simply isn’t the right time” or “we need to bind the demonic strongholds over the town for several days” or “the gifts passed away with Elijah” or “you never know what God is going to do.” His response to the question “why couldn’t we heal” is “because of your unbelief”.
The contemporary church cannot deal with that answer. Psychological and new age ideas have convinced us that we should never take responsibility for anything. Calvinism has taught us erroneously that our destiny is simply the tapestry of God’s will being played out and we are helpless pawns in the game of life.
However there is a rise of people who realize that the reason the church is not doing the works of Jesus is because it does not believe in Him according to the Word. A people who are pulling down the strongholds not over their city but between their ears so that their minds are renewed to the Word of God. A people who will do signs and wonders and preach the gospel to the nations. A people who will obey the Lord no matter the cost, no matter the persecution. A people who will deal with their unbelief and through faith will subdue kingdoms, work righteousness and win nations.

I appreciate the article. It tells us the need to deal with our unbelief but it will have been perfect if it had also talk about how to deal with unbelief.
Good word. Faith is not as mysterious as popular belief would have it. It is confident assurance, to the absolute REJECTION OF DOUBT. This means you can actively reject doubt.
I am glad you appreciate the article. If you want to know how to deal with unbelief, then here is a sermon I preached on the subject this year:

Amen! I hope you are one of the JamacianGirls who come regularly to Tree of Life Church! Faith is easy – it is believing God’s Word above circumstances.
