“YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME!”

 Joshua 1:9

“[9] Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. DO NOT BE FRIGHTENED, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.””

John 8:43-45

“[43] Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear MY WORD. [44] You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and DOES NOT STAND IN TRUTH, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. [45] But because I tell the TRUTH, “YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME”.”

Living and believing a lie can be very humiliating.  When we aren’t VERY CERTAIN that what we Believe is TRUTH, we are susceptible to the FEAR and UNCERTAINTY that the devil has to offer.  BELIEVING that the LORD your GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO means that we able to NOT live in FEAR!  However, when we display FEAR and DOUBT it is a clear indication of our TRUE Beliefs!

The devil is a liar and the father of lies, so why do we tend to accept ANYTHING that we are presented from him?  In John 14:6 JESUS says “I am the WAY, and the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one comes to the FATHER except through ME.”  Unless we BELIEVE TRUTH, we are destined to believe a lie from the enemy.  “YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME” is NOT something that I want said about me!!!
