Scripture reading: Mark 9:14-29

Scripture reading: Matthew 17:14-21

 

Unbelief usually comes in three different ways, these are:

·         Ignorance

·         Disbelief

·         Natural

 

Ignorance: it is when someone just does not know the truth, that is when someone have the idea of just waiting on heaven and that there is no real victory to be experience in this present life. This actually due to their lack of knowledge of the truth, such person(s) have unbelief.

Solution to this is, they need to hear the truth, if their heart is open to the Lord, and they will receive it. Then ignorance leaves and they are able to believe God.

 

Disbelief: it is normally comes from being taught wrong. For instance, they have been told ‘God does not heal or do miracles anymore’ ‘All of the supernatural stuff passed away with the Apostles’. Honestly, disbelief is very more difficult to overcome than ignorance, because it is a lot harder for them to renew their mind and receive.

Solution to this is to teach the truth word of God and tell them to receive the truth above man’s traditions idea.

 

Natural Unbelief: This is simply natural input that is contrary to the truth. See Mark 9:14-29, Matthew 17:14-21. When your mind, emotions, eye and ears are all telling you, it cannot happen, or it is not happening. This was what happened to the Disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is natural to think like that, but it is against the law of faith. God want us to get beyond this kind of natural unbelief.

Solution to this is told by Jesus Christ after the question that the Disciple asked Him, Matthew 17:21, our body can be putting to subjection by prayer and fasting, and we can come out of our natural unbelief when will renew our heart through the word of God.

 

I pray that your eye of understanding will be open today and you can see beyond what your physical eyes and ears can observed.
