HINDERANCES
Here is another posting from one of my many notebooks. These are notes that I wrote on March 28, 2005 Evening
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
We need patience. God does things in His own time. He is an on time God.
If we are neglecting doing good for the Lord Jesus Christ, then it is sin. Don't neglect doing things in the name of Jesus. Give Him all credit and all glory and honour.
Our name is recorded in the Book of Life. There is nothing wrong with home ministry. Lead others to Christ. Then, those people should find more Christians for fellowship.
Genesis 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
1 Samuel 17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
David could not use Saul's armour because he had not proved it. It had not been tested or used by David. David had proved the sling. He had used it and tested it over and over again. He knew the sling would work. He took what he knew.
God does not choose the great and famous. He uses those who are sincere to serve Him.
Nehemiah 4:10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
When the people set their mind to it, they built the wall.
Matthew 13:58 And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Because of the people's unbelief, Jesus was hindered. Don't be a hinderance before our brothers and sisters.
Matthew 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Love of wealth and possessions is a hinderance. Don't let what you own hinder you from serving the Lord.
Mark 16:3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
Mark 16:4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
The people were worried about an imaginary hinderance. The hinderance (stone) had already been removed.
Luke 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Come as you are. There will always be hinderances. Come in spite of the hinderances.
TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!
WE ARE RECONCILED TO GOD THROUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
WON'T YOU ACCEPT HIM TODAY?

Don't look back. Don't follow the flesh. We have to prepare for eternity while we are still here on earth.
1 Samuel 17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
David could not use Saul's armour because he had not proved it. It had not been tested or used by David. David had proved the sling. He had used it and tested it over and over again. He knew the sling would work. He took what he knew.

Don't let the devil hinder you by using unproven equipment. God's Word has been proven again and again.
Nehemiah 4:10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
When the people set their mind to it, they built the wall.

Mark 16:4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

Don't let doubt enter your mind and hinder you from serving the Lord. "Can't" never could do anything! Go forth believing that you can!
Luke 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
