Recently, I had an, “Aha Moment,” and I wanted to share it with you, as I’m sure I am not alone in feeling this way – double minded. You know, where one day you feel one way and the next day you feel totally different, questioning yourself continually…
Women are notorious for this, especially with all the hormones we deal with. Feelings are so fickle and they can leave you feeling insecure, doubtful, and double minded regularly. This is why we ARE NOT TO TRUST them. Then I thought about what Scripture says in being, “Double- Minded…”
JAMES 1:5-8 (NIV): 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
Hmmm, I immediately felt enlightened and, as the Holy Spirit always does, He took me on a Journey in learning, “The Why Behind the What,” in what I was processing.
Recently, I have also entered into a time where things are, “shifting,” for me in the Spiritual realm. I have sensed that I’d be entering into a time of deliverance in things I had been struggling with. An awakening within my Heart and Soul has begun and I’m having such clear revelation on so many things. However, these questions kept stirring within me, “Do you believe what you have prayed for?” If so, why would you doubt it would come to pass?
Then James 1:5-8 came within my Spirit and it all made sense. The devil was robbing me through my double-mindedness and I needed to press into the Holy Spirit to have a more secure Foundation.
I had to accept the reality that I could not put my Faith and trust in man, (or woman), because I was always getting disappointed. Despite my many attempts to try to treat people the way I want to be treated, when I’m disrespected, something just goes off within me. Why?
I’ve lived in that type of dishonorment all my Life. I purpose to, “Do unto others, as I would have them do unto me…” (Luke 6:31). When I am blatantly disrespected, I don’t take it very lightly, nor does God.
How about you – are you double-minded on various things? Do you allow your emotions to rule your Faith Walk in what you are standing for? Do people, ‘dictate,’ how you’re going to react or respond? Food for thought…
We don’t have to be ruled by our emotions or people any longer – it’s time to take heed to what James speaks about. Let’s learn to walk in Victory, instead of self-defeat, doubt or in sabotaging what God wants to give us…
