Unbelief and hardness of heart...!

Mark 16:14, 16 NKJV

Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

† Shalom †......! Day #64. Do you know that sometimes people find it very hard and difficult to believe something that's biblical which the Lord has promised which has come to past? Let us pray. Father, forgive us for our disbelief in You and Your truth. Give us a believing heart, Lord. Let us not lean on our own understanding. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

I have to say that even being a servant of God, sometimes we find it hard to believe in what God is about to do or in what He has promised. Why? It is because of doubt in us that causes us to doubt on God. Although we have seen His great power, yet sometimes we doubt. We believe in God yet, I don't deny that, but what makes us to doubt is that when our worldly intellectual and intelligence are more than the knowledge of GOD in us, then we tend to lean on our intellectual and intelligence. Proverbs says, "lean not on your own understanding but in all ways acknowledge God." Using your intelligence and intellectual will never bring you anywhere unless you are willing to submit to the Spirit of God in obedience because our intelligence and intellectual isn't in line with His word and it is in contradiction with His word.

Jesus said, "after three days is will rise from the dead" yet the believers did not understand it. Why? Because they trying to mix in the natural with the spiritual.  Many servants of God I see in my Facebook, they talk amd explain as though they are Mr.Know-it-all,  but then I observe carefully, it is their flesh speaking and not their spirit. They tend to reason with God, they tend to question the works of the Spirit. For example if a "nobody" suddenly saw a vision and prophesied, and it is given to everyone to listen, then this bunch of "new age pharisees" (I'm sorry), begin to criticized, even they are willing to label that person a false prophet and so on. Again, why does this happens?  It is because of their unbelief and hardness of heart. All the philosophies of the world has clouded their minds and they aren't able to see into the spiritual realm. And Jesus said, " but he who does not believe will be condemned." So friends, again I say... Lean not on your own understanding but in every ways acknowledge God.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
