Unbelief

Unbelief is one state of being that will keep miracles away. The unbelieving heart is one that is predisposed to close off possibilities. A closed heart may be present for many reasons, even in they that endeavor to follow God. Disappointment is one of the greatest seedbeds of unbelief that I know of. Another wide-spread reason for unbelief is familiarity. When Jesus walked the earth, some people did not believe Him because they knew of His familial background.

When a true prophet is in the land, it may be hard for those of His own family to honor him. They who do honor him are rare, but they will receive his "prophets reward".

Mat 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this [man] this wisdom, and [these] mighty works?
Mat 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Mat 13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these things?
Mat 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Mat 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

When Father sends you, don't be daunted by the unbelief of your family. Even if You are sent to another land, for its sake. The unbeliever is the loser in that case for Father will not always strive with man.

Faith is the victory that overcomes the world. It is also the only way to please God. Choose to please Him today.
