All about GOD and Faith

This past few days, life seems so hard for me. I have been struggling with my faith. I know I seen GOD in the first place in my life, but there were times that seeing GOD is so hard especially at times you think you really need him but then you couldn't feel him. I even told myself why is it like this, at times that I most need HIM he seems so silent. I almost feel its unfair.


But after some times, I always talked to someone, who somehow help me see GOD deeply. Although there were times I thought I feel like too much for him. I used to tell him about GOD's time, and wow, now I'm losing my word. He's the one who's telling me my line, to wait for GOD's time, everything has its own time. God's time is the perfect time. I know I should be patient and not losing my faith. I should wait for the perfect timing which is GOD's time.

Well, after struggling my faith in GOD, I gave time to meditate and somehow feel deeply in my heart and was searching wheres my faith. I came up reading about faith and its enemy.

Enemies of Faith

1) Ignorance. Somtimes faith is nothing when you are not aware, or is lack of knowledge about it. Much unbelief rises out of the fact that people just don't know what the Bible says. The cure of this is study, meditation and consideration of the word.

2) Unbelief. This is the sinful choice to not believe God. It is usually motivated by pride, rebellion and ignorance. The cure for this is therefore to humble oneself, change one's mind and choose to believe.

3) Fear. Negative fear is a negative emotion based on the real expectation of bad things to come. It is rooted in anxiety and a lack of trust in God's fatherly protection and love. Perfect love casts out fear. (1Jn 4:18). God is perfect love. Therefore by seeking God, His presence and the fullness of His Spirit we will be set free from fear. When we are conscious of God's power it is very easy to be courageous and bold. We expect success when we are consciously full of God and know that we are doing what He is telling us to do. To overcome fear we must look to God and not to natural considerations which could cause our failure if God were not with us.

4) Doubt. Doubt is an enemy to faith because it speaks with a voice that challenges the truth or the reliability of what we should be believing. To overcome doubt we must fill ourselves with the Word of God, meditating deeply and repetitively on it. Doubt is the evidence of an unconsecrated heart and mind. It is the evidence of lack of devotion to God's Word. Doubt, like fear, torments. We must forgive others and give our whole hearts to God. We must stop listening to the voice of demons or the voice of our own carnal mind trained from early days to resist God. This is a decision. It helps to hear the testimonies of others to overcome doubt. However, doubt will never be fully overcome until we treat the Bible as God's voice TO US.

5) Discouragement. Sometimes we feel discouraged because of physical or emotional weakness or tiredness. We may be disappointed by the behaviour of other people. We may be discouraged by the persecution of others, even of our families. Perhaps we have waited for what may or may not be God's promise to us, and we grow impatient. Many people at some time in their life become disappointed with God. Satan uses discouragement to weaken and if possible destroy our faith. To overcome discouragement we must make a decision to be strong (Hebrews 12:12; Ephesians 6:10) in the Lord. We must want to be strong and stop making excuses for our weakness and failure. We must consider God's faithfulness to us in the past, even through difficulties (Hebrews 10:32-34). We must rededicate ourselves to God's Word, to thankfulness, to prayer and to the voice of the Spirit.

It somehow help me see my faith. Because honestly, I'm almost losing it, I was just needing reinforcement. I know I should build a solid foundation of my personal relationship to GOD. And should be done by PRAYER and OBEDIENCE. I must allow myself to not be weakend with evil thoughts, and somehow satan almost win over.

I hope GOD will keep on holding me. Coz I am sometimes weak.

In Jesus Name!!
