The Importance of Remaining in the Word and the Peril of Unbelief.
There is a thin line that happens when a man drops the word, and I wish I really had a lot of time, because let me mention two things that happen when you drop the word. One, write a very big heading, two things that happen, or what happens when I drop the word.
When you drop the word, of course you become empty of the word, isn't it? The Bible says demons that you were delivered from years ago keep checking on you to see if you're clean, and I've shared about that with proof that being clean means being clean of the word. When they see you're empty of the word, they don't first enter. They go back and collect how many? Seven others, and they come and enter you at once. They become eight. And the Bible says the condition of that man becomes worse than it was.
Now that explains why at times as if things are going on well. Then from the blue, something comes and hits you. You lose the job, the car, the house, you go back to zero, the marriage, you go on zero. You're like, what happened? You lost the word. These are spiritual factors now that you may not see with your eyes, but you're lucky to know.
Things hit you. Before you got married, everything was fine, you were happy, now you got married. Now the baby, every pregnancy you get, you're losing. Because when you got married, you relaxed. You felt you had hit a jackpot. Whatever is coming, hitting you blue, black. So you have to be on guard. Whenever you say it's prayer always, that segment is very important. Can you imagine God is saying prayer always? And for you, it was because you got a car.
Nowadays you have a car. Your conversation is like, I couldn't come to church because of the traffic. But before you could jump on a border.
Like, are you real?
So one thing that happens when you lose the word, the devil comes back. Because whatever you don't know, you're bound by it. You shall know the truth and it shall set you free. So when the truth leaves, bo***ge comes in. Write in your book and ask, what demons are back in my life because I dropped a word? Go and get back the word. God, the demons will disappear.
You dropped the word.
The word was tithe. You used to tithe. Nowadays you're no longer. And you're wondering how things are going berserk. You dropped the word.
Praise the Lord. What else happens when you drop the word? Now that is in Hebrews 10, 38 to 39.
And, but my righteous one will live by faith.
But my righteous one. If you're the righteousness of God, you will live by faith. That means you're living out of faith. You're sinning. You're out of righteousness.
The Bible says unbelief is sin. Did I show you that with that scripture that one day? Let me show you. The Bible says unbelief is sin.
Hebrews 3, 12. I've preached about this in the past. See to it, brothers and sisters. Meaning,
See to it, try as much as you can, brothers and sisters.
That none of you has a, none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. Turning away from the living God is being sinful a heart. A heart that turns away from God is a sinful heart. Because for you, you're here, because someone got pregnant in church, for them, they are seen as sin. You unbelieving one who is here in the worship team, for you, you're holy.
That's why he says don't judge, because it may shock you that they are in heaven and you're not.
Sinful, unbelieving heart. Sinful, unbelieving heart. That takes you away. That turns you away from the living God. When a man has a sinful heart, by default, they turn away from the living God.
That's why Hebrews 3, 19 says, So we see that they were not able to enter God's rest because of their unbelief. Unbelief can detach you from God proper, proper.
Proper. That's why he says without faith, it's impossible.
That's why he says if you doubt, if you're double-minded, do not expect. It's a place of rejection. Guys, unbelief puts you in rejection. Rejection from God.
Let me see what Romans chapter 14 says.
Asked you, but do you know your Bible very well?
Or write the book you carry and put in your bedroom side bed?
Or closet?
The Bible says in Hebrews chapter 14, verse 23, But whoever has a doubt is condemned if they eat. Because their eating is not from faith. And everything that does not come from faith is a sin.
I repeat, And everything that does not come from faith is a sin. That's why even when you get a husband, or a wife, or money, that didn't come from a place of believing God and receiving, but it came from you stealing, elongating your hand, or lasting with your eyes,
You're busy justifying on the wedding. God is good. I repeat, God is good.
My dear, your marriage will stand that test of time. That's what I keep saying when you're dancing that day.
Oh,
Because you're going to start walking and see how you're going to walk right in marriage. If you leave after two weeks, that will happen.
So back to Hebrews. Hebrews chapter 10.
You're talking about remaining in the Word. When you get out of the Word, it's unbelief. When you remain in the Word, it's faith. Okay? You get it?
When you walk out of the Word, it's unbelief.
When you remain in the Word, it's faith.
Hebrews chapter 10. NIV. 38 to 39.
And my righteous one will live by faith.
Bobby, that's an instruction. You have to live by faith. What is faith? Confidence in what we hope for. Meaning you have to live confident in what you hope for. I will get married. I will get the money. I will clear the loans. I will buy the confidence. You have to live by faith. You have to live by faith. I will get the money. I will get the money. I will get the money.
Okay? But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back. What is shrinking back? You can't shrink back if you have the word. Shrinking back is you putting the word down and saying, you know what? I can't believe this. Then you shrink back. What he's saying, that draws you away from him. He draws a line. He's like, go. Do not expect to receive anything from me.
Yet your people are telling him, this is the year of which friends, where is it? You walked away from the word. The message is entitled, remaining in the word.
So, in what areas have you walked away from the word?
What is so big that you walked away? Yet that David said, even when I walk through the valley of death, I will continue.
Mr. Shadrach and Abednego, even when death was facing them, they were like, we are going to fall in the fire. It is okay. But we don't have any other God but him.
So, when I preached as someone saying, each time you unbelieve, you step back. You delay yourself from manifestation. This thing of, we are casting out the spirit of backwardness. Some of you just have to deal with it by just being, remaining. The word is remaining. The word is re. You don't go back. You get it, confidently. That's it. Period. Cloak it.
Because if you keep back and forth, ah, is it true? Ah, really? Can I, that is now double-mindedness. And he says, if you're double-minded, you're like shifting shadows. You're like this. Oh, quarter can soon.
So, he's like, do not. But anyway, that statement hits me every day. If I want to unbelieve, if I just remember that statement, I'm like, ah, do not expect to receive anything from me. Who is saying that? God. So, the Bible says, with God, nothing shall be possible. The only thing that is impossible with God is when you're unbelieving.
That's why you need to work on your faith.
