WELCOME back to family and friends bible study! We are entering part 2
of “Childlike Faith.”
Let’s Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father thank You for all You do and still going to do in my life of struggle. I praise You on today my Lord and Savior for being MY GOD; and King. Thank You Jesus for delivering me out of my struggles and hardship. Touch my mind giving me my measured portion of understanding, and move upon my soul blessing me with clarity and wisdom a`-men and a`-men.
Lesson: “CHILDLIKE FAITH” Part 2 Scripture Keys Psalm 46:1-3, 8-11
Hebrews 11:1-3, 6
In Hebrews 11:1 The Word opens up with a question being asked from the
NLT bible! What Is Faith? “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.” Childlike faith is expressed here in the first
verse of Heb.11:1 a`-men! Let’s look at James 1:6 and the Word of God reads
“Ask in FAITH, nothing wavering” this is childlike faith; no doubts, no distrust,
no worrying only belief in the spoken words from parent to child.
Childlike faith says I am loved by my parents (God the Father), and
when I obey them I receive nice gifts. Even though these things are tangible,
but the act of receiving when a child is good leads to a better perception of
when we go to God in prayer we must remember the childlike faith we had when we
were children; but when the earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the
sea (Psalm 46:2). A child will ask where God is in all this. Then it becomes
hard to hold on to the childlike faith because the hardship is too much to bear
for most children.
The enemy wants the child in you to lose heart in being hopeful in the
Lord, the enemy wants you to watch how the mountains (personal struggles)
crumble into the sea (drowning you so you can’t take a breath to praise God, so you
can’t raise your hands into an expression of complete surrender unto Jesus
Christ whom has paid the price for all).
We must hold on to the HOPEFULNESS, the LAUGHTER and LOVE; for it is a
must that we stay high in the spirit by way of only imagining only good things
about the things to come; and good things happened every time we tap into
childlike faith.
FACT: We all face problems that will cause temptations to come upon us;
some problems just don’t seem to leave us alone. In fact the problems we face has
caused fear to set in that has now birthed worry (As an adult).
FACT: As a child of children they see so many bad things, they hear
many, many disturbing things; they witness sickness’s a grand parent or parents
has going on or gone through and now that sickness has placed that love one on
their sick bed of death.
That child, also for most children have a special relationship with
Jesus God the Father; it’s so special to where they can go to God in pray and
pray a prayer out of that CHILDLIKE FAITH and have such a great peace in the
sickness that's upon a love one; and that faith witnesses to God the Father.
Q. Why do we call out to God? Do we call out in Faith or fear?
FACT in Question: Do we have any reason to fear situation if we try to
resist the temptation, or sickness and disease’s in our own strength? So often
a time, we encounter moments in our broken oppressed lives to partake in sowing
discord about another; being afraid of speaking out
because we don’t won’t to
get fired from a job or hurt someone’s feelings when we speak freely about perverted struggles.
FACT: A child hears about daddy or mommies struggles; that child
instantly becomes the comforter to the parent (childlike faith). Childlike
faith is a free and liberated CHOICE; look at Deut. 30:19 “Choose life that
both thou and thy seed may live.” When a parents livelihood is lost it affects
the whole family! The child doesn’t want any thing to destroy or take away from
the power or unity of a family. Jesus Christ is life to a family; He is the
cohesiveness (holding the childlike faith of a child to minister to a family).
“My bible says a little child shall lead them” Isaiah 11:6 children are so full
of the Spirit of the Lord; this is why it is so important that we as caregivers
give them JESUS and not the wiles of this world, because this world wants to
zap their power of Counsel and might.
We will pause here for now! I am Minister Evangelist Lorraine Munerlyn,
and I thank you for joining me in family and friends bible study, PLEASE study
the lesson and seek Gods face in the scriptures given a`-men! Peace and
Blessings to all.
