This Week's Lesson:  Lets Think About It; Faith and Doubt

Scripture related to the lesson: The Bible 

    Sometime ago I read the story of a man by the name of "Edward Leedskainin" how he was able to move great stones and weights without any machinery or help from mankind; I'm sure you know the story. What got me thinking was; Jesus told us that if we had Faith as the size of a Mustard seed, (you know how small that is) we could say to the mountain be removed and it would happen. Now think of that; we could speak to the mountain; tell it to move and it would obey our words. (and please, don't get into man's reasoning about Jesus was speaking in parables, not meaning the mountain would physically move) And no, I haven't seen anyone speaking to a mountain and it moved, but every word in the Bible is true and if Jesus said it then it's is possible. It will happen, if we have the faith; like Edward Leedskainin moving great stones without machinery. Look at the great things Peter, Paul and other disciples did, and think what we could do if we used the power God built into us. But we let the destroyer (doubt) prevent us from using so great a good. And I'm in the same boat, I let doubt kill the power God built into me. Just think, we could cure sickness, there would be no pandemics, or any illnesses in the world. We would be able to cast out devils (and please don't think that there are no devils in people. Devils are still possessing folks, we just call it psychosis; a name change; and then developed psychologists to talk to people, thinking that is all that's needed. It's like the Devil talking to the Devil; or the blind leading the blind. The thing about faith is; you have to have it all the time; you can't have it one minute and lose it the next. It has to became who you are not letting doubt sneak in at anytime. Faith can't coexist with doubt; you either have one or the other; never both. Don't look to have faith one day and doubt another. Doubt must be eliminated for all times. And one more thing; you can't have faith without love. They go together, one can't exist without the other. If you think you can then you are fooling yourself. If you are harboring hate then you are killing love and therefore killing your faith. I'm not saying it's easy, it's tough, but we have it in us to love and have faith. It was given by God; so, let us do all we can to use the power God built into us.
