No doubt about it!

I was reading in James yesterday and then other scriptures started coming to mind...it was so good, and it brought together some things in my heart I've been hearing in sermons. So, I thought I would share it with you:

"If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."
~ James 1:5-8

God gives without reproach! We are to ask in faith, not doubt, and we'll be stable and receive from God.

So this is what I've decided, based on what God says: I do not doubt. I am stable standing on the Word. I ask and receive all God has for me. Nothing is withheld from me. I lack nothing. When I ask in faith, I know I will receive from God. No doubt about it. It's on its way!

"So Jesus answered and said to them, 'Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be removed and be cast into the sea." and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." ~ Mark 11:22-24

My Father is so good. I don't have to work under great stress to get what I need. I can simply ask and believe Him. Wow! What a loving, all powerful Father I have!

"And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." ~ John 14:13-14

God is so good! This is beyond this world's system and requirements. Having resources is not difficult. I can simply ask God and believe Him. Wow! I am thankful! Then I don't have to concern myself with "making money", I can simply do the work God has called me to do! That takes stress off. My Father is soooo good!
