GREETINGS!
Welcome back To Family and Friends Bible Study; I’ve
been speaking to God about “Childlike Faith;” I’ve been seeking God’s face for
stirring up the gift of childlike faith inside my heart and soul at the age
that I am now.
So will you all please join me in this lesson of childlike faith that
we’ve all as adults have grown out of due to a shifting in our spiritual view
of having spiritual faith in God through the fears of struggle in believing God can, as the years of
hardship continues to press from all sides of your life; then the deaths we
encounter are the deaths of so many children, homes lost, wars in our countries
that are stealing the lives from more of our children, famine, love ones
drugged out; homosexual spirit filled men and women are forming their own
families of sickness; so you feel like all hope and faith has passed you by.
You feel like, I don’t know how God is going to fix this. God is asking, where
is your childlike faith.
Let’s Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father Lord God and Savior; I come to You on today
seeking Your face (In all of God’s way of thinking and being holy in my humble
humiliated ability) for the stirring up of a childlike faith that seems to be
lost or misplaced to do hardships of life that caused me to grow up too fast
loosing sight of the child in me as well as the faith of a child I am to have
in You.
Help me Lord to get back to the childlike faith that is needed to be
reborn in my heart and soul. In Jesus Name A`-men and a`-men.
Lesson: “CHILDLIKE FAITH” Scriptures Psalm 46:1-3; 8-11;
Hebrews 11: 1-3, 6.
There is an inner child still on the inside of each of us! We cry,
snot, kick and grovel when things don’t go the way we want them to go, but what
amazes me so is how a child can throw a tantrum about little things he or she
didn’t get; but can become the cohesiveness to the troubles and fears a friend
or family member face’s.
Please reflect back with me to a time when you was a little child; in
your childlike thinking no one in the world could take your dad down in a fight
nor beat him at anything., When dad promised you something for the most part of
those promise’s he kept, which excited your soul and heart because dad would
not lie to you. The same thing for a lot of moms; there was no other mother that
could beat mama at cooking the best cakes, cookies or the best family supper;
and when mom promised something if you were a good obedient child she provided
the very thing that was promised to you.
“Childlike Faith can birth a life time of miracles.”
As children we placed a lot of faith in our parents, grandparents; when
they promised something you knew it was yours without any doubts in your mind,
the faith was established deep within you. It’s so much easier to believe in
someone or something you can actually see or touch. It’s easier for a child to
have childlike faith in not only mom or dad, but also in Jesus Christ
especially if they are taught to pray.
Faith is established through “confident assurance that what we hope for
is going to happen” (Hebrews 11:1). Parents
represents the god-head of Almighty God in eternity; so the childlike faith
began in us all as children called to obey and do what you’re told to do and
trust with all your heart and believe daddy and mommy will never let you down;
even though you could not actually see the things promised to you as a child; but this
lines up with Almighty God’s promise to you as a child and to us all
today. A`-men! (God will never leave you nor forsake you). So many children that have grown up into
adult years has became destroyed by their over all view point of believing a
terrible situation will never turn around losing that childlike faith. It's because of God’s promises to us, we can find Him in the promise of His Word and He is only 6 to 9 inches away from us; that's what the measurements are from your heart to your mouth.
The confident assurance as a child of what is hoped for is going to
happen becomes lost due to being hit hard by life struggles of just trying to
make ends meet; all because you’re trying to carry the whole load of the hardship.
In Psalm 46: 10-11 “Be silent, and know that I am God! I will be honored by
every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” “The LORD Almighty is
here among us; the God of Israel
is our fortress.”
Psalm 46:10-11 is saying If we put our life in His Hands, we can rest,
confident that He will protect us. A`-men! He knows our weaknesses and can
strengthen us in the needed areas, helping us to overcome the attacks we face
each day of our lives in our cities and countries, God can and will honor your faith your childlike faith if you honor Him in every situation of your God given life in Jesus Name! We are LOVED
BY GOD; He’s the parent of all parents. A`-men!
I’m Minister Evangelist Lorraine Munerlyn, thank you for joining me on
part one of “Childlike Faith” I pray that you all as well as your family and
friends even your enemies and foes has or will become richly blessed by the
preaching and teaching of the gospel (Truth of God’s Word). Peace and
Blessings!
