A Wavering
“Faith”
By: Eric Gajewski
James 1:6 “But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is
moved and carried about by the wind.”
PLEASE HELP THIS APOSTOLATE
Faith
or fear? Flight or fright? Within the spiritual world we are pulled
either toward the Sacred Heart of Jesus in grace or we are pulled to sin
through self-love. The book of James
reminds us that when we ask God we are to ask God in full confidence. This rules out any wavering on our
behalf. Yea, it is true we are often
tossed “to and fro” in the interior of our souls by sin this sea of self-love. How many fail to end that which they first
set out to accomplish? How many souls
have ended in hell after starting out so well and fervent for Christ? Nay, the hour is not to waver between moving
forward in grace and retreating due to sin.
We must be soldier like and advance for our eternal rest is dependent
upon our wills staying firm.
James
1:7-8 “Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of
the Lord. [8]
A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.”
Should we expect that which we ask for if we waver?
The answer from Scripture is
no.
We cannot be asking in faith in the
morning and doubting by evening’s end and expect the result we are looking
for. Without faith it is impossible to
please God because without faith it is impossible to stir up the Sacred Heart
into giving you that which you seek.
Now
it is true that God gives according to His Will for He alone knows that which
is best for our soul but he does command us in Scripture to ask.
Ask and ye shall receive.
We should not expect an answer to our prayer
or a miracle if we are double minded.
God desires simplicity in your prayer and He despises the double
minded.
The modernist’s who have
hijacked our Church are very double minded.
One day they say “A” the next day they say “B” and contradict
themselves. They ask God for an end to
all the world’s violence through disarming the populace.
A clever Marxist trap indeed and of course
God will not hear this prayer from those who will remain not only double-minded
but also those who obstinately refuse to obey the Mother of God (Fatima
message; consecration of Russia).
He is
not hearing the Bergoglio’s of the world.
Faith
must fly through the Storm. Faith doesn’t
avoid the Storm. I know a few people who
have left the Church for the schismatic Orthodox because they see so much
heresy and scandal in the Conciliar Church.
This is not faith. This is a
decision rooted in self-love and is simply avoiding the Cross.
Our position is different because although we
recognize mainstream churches are heretical we are still keeping the Faith of
all times and are willing for God to carry us through the Storm.
God will take you to the edge of the cliff to
see how you react. Faith or fear? Flight or fright.
Those who remain in grace and stay resolute
in their desire to please God will fly supernaturally through the aide of God
and not by mere natural reason.
Those
who think they know better and think they can avoid the Storm by “ducking below
it” will drown in the seas below.
This
is because in order for an eagle to fly it must keep its wings spread in Faith
and hope and those who succumb to self-love will simply dive bomb into the seas
below.
Sin is heavy it will weigh your
wings down.
Waves
inbound. It is very difficult to fight
against our ailing human nature. We,
like the surfer, must paddle out against the waves and current which are seemingly
difficult to break near the shoreline.
We
need God’s grace to break these initial waves of self-love.
St. Augustine reminds us that we will not
rest until our hearts rest in His. We
are trying to break through these waves on a daily basis.
It is our fight and no one else to the
victor will be an answer to prayer and God’s peace and to the loser will be
those who succumb to sin and will drown.
Peter had faith for a few steps then he wavered and nearly drowned. Did he not?
Even the best fall and you must realize this. So, get back in the game get the water off of
your feathers and be prepared to “launch” yet again.
This is your battle. The battle against self and nature and we
cannot have the victory without our Beloved.
Have
patience with yourself. “My brethren, count it all joy, when you
shall fall into divers temptations; Knowing that the trying of your
faith worketh patience. And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be
perfect and entire, failing in nothing.”
James 1:2-4 God allows the Storm
or these waves so as to sanctify your soul.
He is giving you opportunities to grow in holiness.
He is given you the opportunity to spread
your wings and fly. He wants you to fly
higher and higher and not waver.
Do not
look down but keep your eyes focused in on the Son above. Ask for a greater degree in patience in
faith.
He seeks your perfection and you
are not only not going to arrive at perfection dodging the Storm but you will
be fatally wounded in the process.
God doesn’t
like the “draft dodgers”. You are called
to be a Soldier in these endtimes For His Divine Army. Will you accept this call?
“Break through” (do violence unto yourself
and resist sin) these early rough waves
and you will find the waters of this open deep sea to be gentle.
“Waves”
O’
how I delight in the Light
How
I am free in thy gentle breeze
But
Your Love is demanding
As I
hear thy Voice calling
For It
is Faith Ye seek, it is thy Heart which we must please
And
O’ how I see cold hearts remain frozen
Out
past these sands of self-denial
Unwilling
to swim through the roaring waves of adversity
For
it is self-love which is still strong
It
is my own wavering heart which seeks to drown me
But
fear not…
Amidst
the Storm’s clouds dissipating
Amidst
two hearts speaking intimately
It
is still He who lovingly commands the winds of these created waters
And
it is still He who supernaturally walks upon the waves of your unseen sea
"Thou rulest the power of the sea:
and appeasest the motion of the waves thereof."
[Psalms 88:10]
