Notes from teaching by Fred Price on the “ENEMIES OF FAITH “:
~~~1.Lack of knowledge of the Word of God.
~~~2.Failure to act like we believe…live FAITH by our actions.
~~~3.Interpretation of our SENSES…walking in the natural…judging situations by our SENSES instead of CONCENTRATION ON THE WORD.
~~~4.Looking at the SENSES or circumstances will stop your FAITH from growing. Peter had FAITH to walk out of that boat onto the water…had the FAITH, but then he took his eyes off Jesus. He began looking down…seeing…feeling the water and began to sink. He began to live by his SENSES rather than his FAITH. He began trusting in the witness of the SENSES instead of Jesus’ Word. Remember, God will never tell me to do something that will hurt me.
~~~5.The Israelites are standing on the banks of the Jordan River. The land of Canaan is on the other side…the land of milk and honey PROMISED to them FROM the FATHER. The spies came back to tell the people about the giants and the majority voted that it was too dangerous to go in and take the land like God told them to. They took their eyes off the Father’s Word and trusted in the witness of their SENSES. They suffered and wondered in the desert for forty years because they trusted their SENSES…giants too big…instead of the Words God spoke to them. Forty years later, only the children of those original Israelites from Egypt were allowed to go in and possess the PROMISED LAND.
~~~6.Just KNOWING God’s Will is not enough, but we must OBEY God’s Will!
~~~7.DO NOT TRUST IN THE WITNESS OF THE SENSES!
~~~8.TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD AND OBEY HIM NO MATTER WHAT YOU SEE, FEEL, HEAR, TASTE, or SMELL!
Just KNOWING God’s Will is not enough, but we must OBEY God’s Will.
