PRAYING AND OVERCOMING DOUBT

PRAYING AND OVERCOMING DOUBT


One of the most DIFFICULT
Things to do is to
CONTINUE to PRAY to God
Without DOUBT


To continue to BELIEVE in
GOD'S UNFAILING LOVE
And power


“Elijah--------then said to Ahab=
'Go up=eat and drink=for there
IS the sound of
Heavy rain'” 1 KINGS 18:41


Today we have the GREAT
EXAMPLE of Elijah=a great prophet
Who PERSEVERED humbly
Through fear and human weakness


To DO
Whatever God asked of him


Let us face it
NONE of us have
All of our PRAYERS answered IMMEDIATELY


PERSEVERANCE is big in
OVERCOMING DOUBT=to continue to
KEEP on going


While WAITING for the ANSWER
To our prayers


“Not only so=
But we also GLORY
In our sufferings


Because we KNOW




That suffering
Produces PERSEVERANCE


Perseverance=character
And character=HOPE” Romans 5:3-4


“Let PERSEVERANCE
FINISH its work
So that you


May be mature and COMPLETE=
NOT lacking anything” James 1:4


Elijah was so ELATED to
ANNOUNCE the LORD'S VICTORY
OVER Ahab's false god=Baal


The devastating drought
FINALLY ended in ANSWER
To Elijah's prayer


Today-ELIJAH=thousands of years
Later=is held in HIGH ESTEEM
By JEWS=Christians=and MUSLIMS


KEEP ON PRAYING=
DO NOT give in to doubt
OVERCOME your doubt
With PERSEVERANCE


“Jesus replied=
'TRULY I tell you-
If you have FAITH
And do NOT DOUBT


Not only can
You DO what was done
To the fig tree


But also you can SAY
To this mountain


'Go throw yourself
INTO the sea'
And it will be done


If you believe
You will RECEIVE
WHATEVER you ask for
IN PRAYER'” Matthew 21:21-22


Yes YOUR PRAYERS=like
Elijah's prayers will be ANSWERED


And when they are
CRY OUT in joy and gratitude


And PRAISE GOD FOREVER=in
Your FAMILIES=neighborhood=and world


PRAYING OVERCOMES DOUBT


In the names of Jesus and his DIVINE FATHER
