The deepest need of God.
Nothing is more important to God's heart than our trust in Him.
I've learned that to a love relationship between a man and a woman work well, trust is extremely necessary.
With God is similar. But for Him, our trust is deeply more important.
He gets very hurt when we are not trusting Him.
Because that shows that we are doubting who He is, doubting His nature of goodness and justice.
Lack of trust is not believing that God is good, and thinking that He doesn't know what He is doing.
When we are following His orientations step by step daily and we come across with a difficult situation and we do not trust, that hurts Him.
We are His servants, intimate friends with Him, we cannot stop trusting Him!!!
This message is not to convince you that at this moment you need or should trust in God, but it is to open your eyes to this deep need of God's heart, alerting you to the quality of your relationship with Him.
Faith comes from our spiritual side. Trust comes from our heart. It comes from our emotional side.
That's why it has great influence in our connection with God.
Lack of trust in God may break our heart to heart connection that we have with Him.
Lack of trust brings fear and evil thoughts, and we get deceived by lies while God is trying to talk to us and reveal His glory.
In every difficult situation that we are going through, there is a glory of God that we are not accessing and that's why the situation is difficult.
But it isn't supposed to be that way, the situation is actually, supposed to be easy. And this glory that I am talking about is actually the truth behind the lies we are believing.
The deep truth of God which we access through revelation.
That truth has glory in it.
Lack of trust in God blocks us to receive this revelation.
That makes us distant from God.
Isaiah 53: 6
"All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own
way;
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all."
Wow, what a wonderful Word!
This Word shows us that even when we lose ourselves in our lack of trust in God, Jesus comes and puts us in the way again. He restores us to God's Presence.
In God's Presence, we are able to have our vision sharp, and not deceitful like in the vision of the fear.
The more trust, the more full of the Presence we get.
That's why Jesus is our Good Shepherd because we tend to move away and stop trusting. Then He comes and guides us again.
But for that to happen we need to be inside His flock.
There will be always things coming from outside that disturb us and bring fears and worries, but Jesus will always come to help and guide us toward His flock again.
But that only happens to those who have made the decision to follow Jesus. For the ones who did not do that, are unprotected and without that direction.
And if you are not being part of that, you don't have that protection.
Jesus removes us from evil. He is the Almighty.
God is stretching out His hand to you at this moment.
He says:
"Accept my help."
How many people have God sent into your life to help you and you've refused?
Maybe, you couldn't see what help would that be.
That help would be a help that you would only understand after accepting it.
It is the help to bring you to God's Presence.
Only after being in God's Presence we can understand the good that God can make to us. We can understand what it's like to really be helped by God.
So I want to tell you something very important...
Something that your life depends on and you don't know it yet.
Accept the help from these believers that God has placed in your way.
Be humble for a moment and give God a chance, giving a chance to these people to show you the way to God's Presence.
Accept their help.
Jesus wants to rescue you. He wants to help you for real.
And it is through these people that He will do that.
Don't be afraid! God is Wonderful!
Isaiah 50: 2
"Why, when I came, was there no man?
Why, when I called, was there none to answer?
Is My hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Indeed with My rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst."
Jeremiah 24: 7
'Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart."
