"Don't Doubt" from 1 Samuel 27

Don't Doubt 1 Samuel 27
Last night was the midweek Bible study in Calvary Chapel, the teachings was really in time for my situation not only in office but also in my faith.
“Do not Doubt” 1 Samuel 27 Pastor Ken told us the story of a person with no glamorous clothes, buying 16 cars...

This person goes in one car dealer shop when the sales man look at his physical appearance, the sales man doubt that this man could buy 16 cars.. and so he said “I really don't know if I can sell 16 cars right away how about going to the next car dealer shop?”
and so he went to the next shop, and he was given 16 cars right away since it was paid in cash he was also given a big discount...
the man who bought the cars was a fisherman, and all of them fishermen that had a big catch and savings that they decided to buy cars at the same time so to have big discount. The moral lesson of the story is that if we have doubts good chance of a lifetime can be missed.
That was a very nice story about Doubt told us by Pastor Ken.

Now for my notes:
The word doubt came from double minded, it also means lack of confidence, belief and faith.
doubts -> leads to worry -> leads to forgetting about God -> leads to trusting ourselves -> leads to being atheist. Read Heb 11:6

Being in doubt is being closer to the enemy. Now when I mention “enemy” here it means the temptations of the devil.
It is the Lord where we should run to whenever we have doubts and not on any persons to seek approval, let God be the first to run to for help, and then you seek help to other persons. We have no reasons to doubt God is with us.

Always be on guard against doubt, Never doubt God's promises.

Do not doubt God's purpose in your life.

Satan wants to put you out in ministry to doubt God's plans and God purpose for you. God has good plans for you do not doubt. Read Romans 8:28

Hold on by faith even if we don't understand God's in control he is on the throne. Remember the story of Jesus on the boat with his disciples.

God will never gave up on you. God loves you come back to the Lord.

Pray if you feel any doubt Pray!
Read Phil 4:6

Do not doubt or be anxious of anything. Prayer is the answer read Prob. 3:5-6.

Trust is the key trust in the Lord.

Remember:
Doubt your doubt before you doubt your belief.

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
