James 4:3 "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss,that ye may consume it upon your lusts.".
We are our biggest enemy.We are the reason that we don't receive all that God has for us.God cannot lie so all that He promises us is before us for the taking, but we hinder our own ability to grab hold of the promises of God.God has done His part,Jesus has done His part,And the Holy spirit has done His part.Now let us do our part and only believe to receive all that God has for us.
Many of our trials and tribulations that we face come from within and not without.Some of the toughest battles we will fight are the ones between the inner man and the outer man.The war between the lust and desires of our flesh and the moral values of our spirit.we desire so much from the Lord, but we cannot obtain it because of our own lack of faith and disbelief.We have not, because we ask not,and when we do ask, we don't ask believing we will receive it,no it is with doubt and unbelief that we petition God.We ask Him to give us strength as we are preparing to give in to the temptations of the devil.Why bother asking God to save you from that you are willfully giving in to.Why ask Him for something that in your heart you either don't want or you don't believe you will get it.Don't you know it is a sin not to believe God.
It seems that it is who we are that keeps us from becoming who God has called us to be.It is what we don't have, that prevents us from obtaining what God has for us.We are our biggest enemy.
