Unbelief Stops You From Moving With God

He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, “ ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’ ”
Mark 4:11‭-‬12 NIV

Unbelief is the only sin Jesus speaks about that limits God in your life. The word unbelief in the Greek means:

Faithlessnes, Disbelief, and unfaithful. These can be mental blocks that will hinder and stop God from working in your life, and unfaithful is not be faithful to Jesus. When we entertain unbelief and make a choice not to believe God for whatever reasons, we have chosen to walk another path. This path can be cluttered with discontent, unfulfilled expectations, human reasoning, witchcraft, anger, and you can name many more things that clutter your mind. Without faith, you drift along with no anchor because hope is the anchor of the soul.

Jesus could not do many miracles or mighty works because the people refused by the choice of their will. Satan can badger us, whisper thoughts in our ear, but he can not keep us from believing. We are responsible to God for believing or not believing His Word.

People sit in Church Sundays and midweek, they may hear the truth but Jesus says in Mark 4 : 12, they may see and hear but not understand. The Gospel of Jesus is very simple. Ask Jesus to forgive you and cleanse you of all your sins, and surrender to Jesus your life. People have been caught up in Doctrines, teachings, rules and regulations how a Christian must act and talk. Jesus summed it all up when the children were coming to Him. Jesus disciples were trying to prevent the children coming to Jesus. Jesus saw what was happening and told His disciples to let the children come to Him. Can you imagine the joy and excitement the children felt? They were going to Jesus unhindered.

Jesus made a great statement, unless you have the faith as these little ones, you will not enter the Kingdom of God.

Has God promised you something in the past and since it has not happened you became discouraged and made a choice it was not real and you decided to cast it aside as false? You made a choice not to continue to believe because it was delayed. May you have unfulfilled expectations that have not turned out the way you planned. Whatever has happened in your life that caused you to say and believe that will never happen has shipwrecked you.

I bring you hope in Jesus Name. Jesus is ready to forgive and receive you right now if from your heart, you repent and exercise your faith in Jesus. He turns no one away. You must come to Him in faith believing Jesus will save you and turn your life around.

Father I thank YOU I can come to you in faith believing Jesus will save me as I confer my sins. I ask Jesus to forgive me and take my life and live through Me.

In Jesus Name
