The Household of God Ephesians 2:19
A Quick and Believing Heart Sunday, April 01, 2018
Reading: Luke 24:25
1. A quick and believing heart will not make mistakes
Luke 24:5. will not seek ye the living among the dead?
-Seek good life by wrong deeds
-Go to the wrong places for the right things
-Do wrong things when I think I'm doing right.
2. Quick and believing heart makes one to get what he wants
Luke 24:6-7 He is not here, but is risen
They went to the sepulcher but we're shown he was elsewhere.
Watch your heart. It can take you to the wrong places. A believing heart will
always find the right place.
Their beliefs sent them one way -to the grave, and a quick heart sent them the
opposite way.
3. A quick and believing heart will make you remember Gods promises
The things of God are foolishness to the natural mind. 1 Corinthians 2:14. So he
naturally forgets them. Luke 24:8 And they remembered his words.
To the pure all things are pure. Titus 1:15. All things are possible to him that
believes Mark 9:23
We ought to do all in our power to secure a believing heart. Otherwise you lose
good things, even things you have been promised
4. Unbelief can play with your mind
Luke 24:11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them
not.
Without a quick and believing heart, Your mind and understanding can betray you
making reject the very thing you need. Naman was standing in his Deliverance and
was rejecting it. 2 Kings 5:11
What a danger a slow heart is!
5. A slow heart can blind your eyes
Luke 24:12 Then arose Peter.. wondering in himself at that which was come to
pass. Luke 5:5
John 15:20-21 Rabboni! Don't let unbelief destroy you eyes.
A man slaps a stranger because he doesn't believe his wife
6. A slow heart can really imprison you
Luke 24:18 Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem? You will think others are
stupid!
Jesus also recommends that we believe the scriptures and the prophets
A quick and believing heart will free you from the wrong place, in thought,
convictions and in life.
7. Watch your Trust
Luke 24:21-25 Just know that trust is not enough but Quick and believing heart
is. Romans 3:4
All the evidence in the world is not enough, Let the Word have supremacy.
If God does what men do?? Then... Follow with your answers.
There must be a miracle!!
8. Look at suffering differently
Luke 24:26 Ought not Christ ...Suffering (as required by God ) has a virtue.
That suffering is a means to and end for a Christian
9. Lord quicken our hearts
Luke 24:30-31 That our eyes will open into Faith And Luke 24:32 Our Hearts will
receive actively from the Lord.
Prayer: Thank you Father for helping me to receive with my heart. Amen
