Called By Christ To Be ONE: Doubt? Or Unbelief?

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

Doubt? Or Unbelief?

LISTEN

Instead of praising God for an incredible miracle, the Pharisees attributed it to the devil. Jesus had just healed a demon-possessed man who had been blind and unable to speak. While others were amazed, these religious leaders said, “No wonder he can cast out demons. He gets his power from Satan, the prince of demons” (Matthew 12:24 NLT).

How is it that people who studied the Scriptures, who had dedicated themselves to spiritual things and were considered godly individuals, could actually take something that was done by the hand of God and attribute it to the devil?

This process had been building for some time. Their unbelief wasn’t based in honest doubt. Rather, it was their very familiarity with spiritual things and rejection of those things that brought them to this state. They should have known better.

There’s a difference between ignorance and a deliberate choice. There’s a difference between doubt and unbelief. Doubt is a matter of the mind, but unbelief is a matter of the will. Doubt takes place when we may not understand what God is doing or why He’s doing it. But unbelief is a choice that we make.

The same truth that can liberate one person can harden another. It’s entirely up to the person who is listening to that truth and their response to it.

The Pharisees weren’t simply doubting the work of God; their hearts were filled with unbelief. They didn’t reject Jesus and His messiahship for lack of evidence. He had fulfilled many Old Testament prophecies.

They didn’t reject Jesus because His lifestyle was inconsistent with His preaching. He was perfect and flawless. Even Pilate, as he was preparing to condemn Jesus, said, “I find nothing wrong with this man!” (Luke 23:4 NLT).

And Judas Iscariot, His betrayer, said, “I have betrayed an innocent man” (Matthew 27:4 NLT).

Their rejection of Jesus—ultimately, their blasphemy of the Holy Spirit—was but a reflection of every person who intentionally rejects Jesus Christ. They rejected Jesus because He interfered with the way they had chosen to live. He was a threat to their lifestyle, a threat to their religious system.

Jesus said, “And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil” (John 3:19 NLT). This explains why people do not believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. If you’re evil, then you will hate the light.

Despite all their rhetoric and claims of interest in spiritual things, these religious leaders were not really searching for the truth. Nor were they searching for the Messiah. Otherwise, they would have embraced Jesus.

That is why people reject Him today. They don’t reject Jesus Christ because they have examined the evidence. Most have never honestly and carefully examined the claims of Christ.

The real reason people reject Jesus Christ is because they want things left as they are. They don’t want to change.
