“Despair
Occurs Unless Believe The Savior! (D.O.U.B.T.S)”
Ramesh C. Reddy
SCRIPTURE:

INTERPRETATIONS:
OBSERVATIONS/INTERPRETATIONS:
The angel Gabriel gave Mary 3 main promises
to appease her doubts:
The HOLY SPIRIT will COME UPON YOU
The POWER of the MOST HIGH will
OVERSHADOW YOU
The angel starts out with the Holy Spirit,
then mentions God, and concludes with Jesus.
INTERPRETATIONS:
It is very significant that the angel
answers Mary’s doubts with promises that are entirely focused on
God. The Holy Spirit, Power of the Most High, and Holy One called
Son of God all are names for God. In essence, it is the Name of the
Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The angel does not stop there but goes a
step further giving her a promise that is very tangible at the
moment rather than intangible like the previous 3 promises.
When the angel started giving Mary reasons,
they were all spiritually intangible reasons that she could not see
right away but had to believe in faith. I believe God wanted to
appease her doubts more concretely so He let the angel present a more
concrete tangible promise that can be seen.
This is evidenced by the angel’s next
promise:
The angel lets her know that Elizabeth is
going to have a child in her old age. This statement alone could
also be seen as intangible of something to come in the future and
Mary would have to take it in faith so the angel does not stop there
but lets her know Elizabeth who is barren is already in her sixth
month. This is very significant because now Mary could tangibly see
something that seems humanly impossible happening in her relative’s
life. This is to assure Mary that if Elizabeth could get pregnant
and she was medically diagnosed to be barren then Mary too could get
pregnant even though she was a virgin. Both cases will happen
supernaturally by the power of God!
After the angel gives all the reasons, he
concludes it with a powerful promise giving the credit to God and
letting her know it is because of God whatever is going to happen
will happen. This is evidenced by:
“For nothing is
impossible with God.” (Luke 1:37)

INTERPRETATION:
OBSERVATIONS/INTERPRETATION:
It is so interesting that the angel leaves
only after hearing Mary’s response to her doubt being appeased.
Until then, the angel kept giving her reasons to believe.
APPLICATIONS:
But before I even thought about finding a wife, I realized that I
had never read through the entire Bible-Word of God to understand
the heart of God completely so as a follower of Christ, I decided to
read the Bible in 40 days from July 4th (America's Independence Day)
to Aug 15 (India's Independence Day).
During that time I finished the entire Bible asking the Lord Jesus
to give me questions to ask anyone I was interested in marrying and
who were interested in marrying me. After finishing the Bible, I got
40 questions to ask and knew only if I was satisfied with the
responses to all 40 questions would I know that person would be my
bride if they were satisfied with me.
But more than that, I got a Scripture verse
that became my signature verse: "But
life is worth nothing to me unless I use it to do the work assigned
me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling others about God's Mighty
goodness and love!" (Acts 20:24, TLB)
I knew the Lord alone could give me the right person so my first 4
primary criteria were:
1. Born again Christian who is beautiful on the inside and outside
but more inside because I wanted the one I marry to love Jesus more
than me which I had to witness by her actions.
2. Age had to be a certain range.
3. Language had to be Telugu.
4. Location had to be willing to locate to the United States and be
part of Oakland International Fellowship.
Then 36 other questions had to be answered to my satisfaction. This
had to happen in 40 days or however long it took for the answers to
come. More than that, after all 40 questions were answered and I
answered all her questions with both of our satisfaction, the
correspondence had to be read my loving mommy
and Pastor Hugo whose approval I
wanted.
Before it came even to this stage, there were marriage prospects
that did not pan out for different reasons due to the criteria.
Until one day, I came across the profile of
Chandraleela. We were satisfied with each others responses at
the time which came to 256 pages of correspondence.
I am so thankful to the Lord Jesus because Pastor Hugo took time to
go through all the 256 pages of our correspondence and told me: 'Ramesh,
don't lose her and come back to me crying that you did not marry
her'. My mommy had also encouraged me to marry Chandra. Also, I am
so thankful for Edwin, Marie, Calvin, Elise,
Bryan, Lyd, Kristen, and Josh who helped me pursue Chandra
faithfully.
Granted all this happened without me seeing Chandraleela
once in person but everything over email correspondence, pictures,
and phone calls. When Pastor Hugo and my mommy gave me their
blessings, it still was not a done deal. I had to go to India and
see Chandraleela on July 24, 2010. The day I met her, within seconds
I told her that I wanted to marry her.
But, the doubt was still there will I get married to her because she
had told me that it was not enough for her to be willing to marry
me, but her mommy, her brother, her sisters, her pastor, her
relatives, and certain leaders of the church community needed to
give their blessings for me to marry her.
By God's grace and mercy, He took away my doubt of finding the right
one when they gave their approval and our marriage date was set on
Friday, July 30, 2010. It was an exciting day because of how the
Lord Jesus answered me in my doubts and made me see that
Chandraleela is the only one for me :)
Now it has been 3 years, 4 months, 17 days since our marriage
and I am married to the most prayerful, loving, understanding, and
supportive wife who is so beautiful on the inside and outside to me.
Not only that, but when we had doubt regarding having a child and
when it would be, at the right time, He blessed us with our loving,
beautiful daughter Esther who loves to
praise Jesus, listen to God's Word, Lord's prayer, and Jesus songs.
She is now 14 1/2 months and 2 days old. She was born on the Lord's
day of Sunday, Sept 30, 2012 which itself was significant to me
because that was also our 2 year 3 month marriage anniversary. Her
name comes from the Book of Esther from the Bible because of the
verse: 'For you were born for such a time as
this!' Thank you Jesus.
Lord Jesus could have left me in my doubts but He did not, instead
He cleared all my doubts regarding marriage and for us having a
child in His perfect timing in His way. Thank you Jesus.
As I reflect on today's devotional, I still have on my desk the
priceless greeting card my wife gave me on my birthday this year
which reads, "To My Husband, God Wanted Us to Be Together ♥ I
believe with all my heart our love was meant to be......I believe
that our first kiss was as much a part of God's plan as the stars in
the night sky... And I believe that the life we share reflects His
love day by day....I thank God for you with all my soul and love you
with all my heart. Happy Birthday. I LOVE YOU KANNA. GOD BLESS YOU ☻
MANY MANY HAPPY RETURN'S OF THE DAY
☻READ PSALM 139:13-18. YOUR WIFE CHANDRA"
Today is also a sad day for our family because my beloved
daddy went to be with Jesus on this
day of 17th December 6 years ago. Even in that situation the Lord
Jesus was there for us and assured us in our doubt. He gave me a
promise that year: "The purpose of his illness
is not death but that the glory of the Lord may be revealed (John
11)" The promise came true not the way I hoped and expected
which was focused on a physical life but it came spiritually a
born-again life. My daddy gave his life to Jesus and then breathed
his last breath in front of my mommy after my loving mommy read to
him the Psalms and the entire New Testament over and over again for
months. My dad's life did not end in eternal death. We can also
rejoice this day in our Savior knowing that our daddy is with Jesus.
Thank you Jesus!
Just as the Angel Gabriel, who was sent by God to reveal a message
to the virgin Mary, did not leave until her doubts were appeased, it
is exciting to know that when I have doubts, I can continually turn
to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with my questions and doubts. I
can be assured that He will not leave me in my doubts but send
people my way to appease those doubts and continue to do that as He
did with John the Baptist and Thomas among others. More than
anything, He will use His Word, His Spirit, and His Community to
address them.
The purpose of today's study was for me to understand
that when doubt comes through our mouth, the Lord will use His mouth
to alleviate our doubt. He can do that through His Word, His Spirit,
and His Community while He uses them all as His vessels. The angel
Gabriel was part of God's community just as we become part of the
Lord's community when we turn our lives over to Him.
My situation has no comparison in terms of
degree to what Mary was faced with but the principles of how the
Lord works in people's lives who have doubts is the same. He will
not leave us to our doubts when we sincerely seek after Him and want
what He wants us to do. There have been different doubts in my life
that the Lord Jesus has brought me through primarily using His Word,
His Spirit, His community, etc in agreement with His Word. And I
know He will continue to meet me in my doubts whatever they maybe.
He will meet you to my friend!
More than anything as I reflect on my Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ this Christmas season, I am reminded how
gentle and mild He has been towards me in many of my doubts. Jesus
who addressed John the Baptist's doubts and Thomas's doubts while He
walked the earth, continues to address others in their doubts with
His love. Jesus has done that for me. He can do that for you too
especially regarding your relationship with Him and what you are
facing in life.
More than anything, He has brought me to
Himself and made me His child helping me work through a lot of my
doubts. I don't have all the answers that I would like to have but I
know as I walk in faith, Jesus will reveal all He wants me to know
in His timing including what to do with my life.
But for now, I can rest assured that Jesus
Christ whose birth we celebrate this Christmas season has delivered
me from the bondage of sin and death spiritually and made me right
in His sight through the shedding of His precious cleansing blood on
the cross of Calvary so I can belong to Him as He came back on the
third day to save. For that is the reason why love came down
2000 years ago as a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, laying in the
manger, so one day He could become our Redeemer.
As you think about Christmas, don't just
get stuck with Jesus as a baby in the manager. Jesus is not a baby
anymore but the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He is the
Savior that the world needs. He is our Emmanuel who alone can bring
light into this dark world covered in sin. He is the Word that
became flesh for us and made His dwelling among us so one day, He
could become our Lamb of God to take away our sins by becoming our
sacrifice to redeem us. I praise the Lord for that.
Our Pastor Hugo
preached on John 1:1-18, on Sunday, Dec 16, 2012 a year ago which is a powerful passage about
Christ's coming into this world to save you and me as He existed
from the beginning of time.
What Jesus did for me He can do for you too
right now redeeming you and giving you new life. It does not matter
what you have done or where you have been because Jesus saves you by
His grace. It is a free gift of grace to bring freedom to you not
dependent on your good deeds but solely upon Him.
Whatever your doubts are, He can take those and bring you to a place
He wants you to be. And if you think you are not good enough to be
accepted by the Lord, then great. For none of us are good but Jesus
came to heal the sick and not those who think themselves as healthy.
Thank you Jesus!
For none of us are good but all have fallen
short of the glory of God but God demonstrates His own love for us
in this while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us and purchased us with
His precious Blood. (Romans 3 & 5)
You don't have to have doubts whether the Lord
will accept you because He will accept you as you are in your sin
when you turn to Him repenting of your sins and asking Him for
forgiveness. He will then make you new as you acknowledge Him as
your Lord and Savior of your life. For that is why He came.
(Romans 10)
Even when you are a believer, you can be
dealing with doubts as Mary did, as John the Baptist did, as Thomas
did, and as I did even though the circumstances of our lives are
different but the common denominator is that Jesus sees you in your
doubts and will answer you in your doubts in His timing.
I ask you now dear
friend, what does God do with your D.O.U.B.T.S in life?
In our humanity we may doubt about
different things that the Lord reveals to us because we look at our
circumstances, who we are, where we came from, etc (i.e.: Moses) OR
doubt about what the Lord wants us to do because the circumstances
don't seem to go our way (i.e: John the Baptist) OR think who am I
Lord that you choose me to accomplish what you say (i.e: Mary) OR
how can it be true for I have not seen it myself (i.e: Doubting
Thomas), etc OR should I take part in this or that for I am not
sure, etc but if the Lord tells us to do something and makes it
clear to us, He will make it happen but it will be in His timing.
Just as the Lord intervened through the
Angel Gabriel to work with Mary in her doubts, He will intervene in
your life to help you through your doubts regarding something He
wants to accomplish in your life. Yes, He will friend. You
need not be afraid to ask questions of the Lord. He will send
someone your way to help you through these doubts. I do believe it.
I do not know the doubts you may have right
now. But the Lord does and He will not abandon you. The Lord
welcomes your questions. Take it to Him and He will respond. Wait
upon Him! If we have doubts and questions concerning the Lord and
what He tells us, He we will not abandoned us but will work with us.
Yes, He will.
Maybe there are areas in your life right
now that the Lord has not told you what to do or what will happen
such as marriage, having kids after marriage, going to so and so
place, doing so and so job, buying a house, buying a car, etc but you want to do it because you
love to do that. But, when it does not seem to happen when you want
it to happen, don't doubt the Lord. If the Lord wants something for
you to happen, it will happen in His timing and no powers of
darkness will stop that from happening. When they don't happen,
there is a reason for that that the Lord will reveal in His own
timing.
Friend, we all have desires and want to see
them happen in our lives especially when we do a comparative
analysis with those around us.
When we don't see those desires happening
right away, we may even ask 'Why me
Lord, why is it not happening to me?'
but what I have learned is the desires we have will not make us
happy at all unless those desires are stamped and certified by the
Lord. I watched a wonderful movie called 'Holiday Switch' that
everyone should watch.
So this Christmas season, whatever doubts
you have instead of focusing on the doubts, turn to the One who can
alleviate those doubts. Focus on the One who came to redeem you and
give you new life. If Jesus went to the cross to redeem you, how
much more He can do for you in His timing. Yes, He can friend!
So, when you have doubts, if you will ever
do that ministry again, look to the Lord with me.
Whatever your doubts are, look to the Lord
with me!
You will find your answer in His love for
you. Because of His love for you, He will never keep anything you
need. A lot of times, He makes us wait for a lot of different
reasons because He has the perfect timing for He knows that a second
early or a second late is not the right time. While I am waiting, I
will trust the Lord for He will not abandon me in any of my doubts.
Thank you Jesus!
So, friend take all your questions to the
Lord and rest in Him no matter how bleak your circumstances look.
Sometimes we may not even get what we hope for but we will always
get what the Lord wants for us. We are His children and no good gift
will He keep from us! This is not to say we will not face any
troubles in this world for He never promises that but He does
promise to be with us always and walk with us strengthening us
instead of abandoning us! Praise the Lord!
Let the Lord work through your doubts this
Christmas season. The greatest prophet, to be proclaimed by the Lord
Jesus, that ever lived on this earth was filled with doubts
regarding Jesus. Yet, Jesus did not abandon John the Baptist in his
doubts but met him in his
doubts.
Friends,
'Have you served the Lord and have been so enthusiastic about
telling others about Jesus? Have you been so excited about the
Lord?' What about now? Is that enthusiasm and excitement for the
Lord still there or are your circumstances filling you with despair
and doubt about what you believed in and stood for?
If you are in despair and doubt, remember that Jesus will not
abandon you. He will reach out to you just as he reached out to John
the Baptist. Oh Yes, He will! When you feel down and in despair,
remember all that the Lord Jesus has done in your life and in the
lives of others this Christmas season. Let His Word lift you up and
no words of despair and discouragement will get you down when you
focus on His precious Word.
Jesus does not ignore John for his doubts but reaches out to him
with evidence and later also praises him for all that he did in
serving Jesus.
(rf Luke 7:24-28)
Jesus reaches out to you too and will not forget what you have done
for Him. In your circumstances that are filling you with doubt and
despair, come to the Lord and stand upon His Word and promises.
Mary rested in the Lord and has been blessed. You too can in His
way! So while you are waiting, wait on the Lord Jesus Christ!
May you find the peace and joy in the Lord this Christmas season now
and forever and blessed are those who do not fall away on account of
Jesus!
We
will all face trials and tribulations (rf:
James 1:2-4) but the important thing is
what do we do with those trials and tribulations?
God loves you my friend and it may be hard to face what you are
going through. The Lord suffers with you and knows your pain. Lean
on Him.
The Angel Gabriel never left Mary until her doubts were appeased.
The Lord will place people in your own lives to help you with your
doubts. Rest in the Lord. Maybe the Lord has sent you to answer
someone’s questions and appease their doubts. You are placed at such
a time as this. Use that opportunity for the glory of the Lord and
do not give up on the person you are trying to reach out to.
Remember, it is the Lord who works in you to accomplish His purpose.
Don’t give up but keep reaching out.
May you trust the Savior knowing despair occurs unless believe the
Savior! Amen!
"Despair Occurs Unless Believe The Savior!" (D.O.U.B.T.S)/"What
does God do with your D.O.U.B.T.S in life?"
Prayer:
Lord Jesus,
You are my all in all. You are my Prince of Peace,
Rock, Savior, and Friend. You are my Holy Father guiding me through to live a
life of righteousness, holy righteousness. Oh God, I need you more than ever. I
need to feel your hands around me holding me tight. I need your love to surround
me so that you can glow in my life. Help me please Jesus. I desire in your
presence. Thank you for guiding me to live a life of righteousness. Oh God you
love me more than ever. You hear my voice when I cry out to you. When I seek
your face, you fill me up. You are my all in all. Thank you Jesus so much for
your help no matter what I face, your grace is available and you take my case.
Thank you for hearing us and answering us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! AMEN!
(Most of the prayer is from a vineyard song called “All in All”)
If you would like to invite Jesus Christ into your heart and make Him a
daily part of your life, you can this very moment. You will never be
alone. You can claim God's promises for you in the Bible and see them
come true, before your eyes, in His wonderful timing. You don't have to
wait for a special time to come to the Lord. You can come right now as
you pray the prayer below, meaning it in your heart.
No matter what you feel in your heart, know that Jesus has come in
and resides with you! You are not alone! To make your walk strong with
the Lord, spend time in prayer talking to Him as you would to a friend.
You don’t need special words to talk to the Lord. Spend time in His Word
reading Psalms and turning them into prayer. Next allow God to heal you
and speak to you through the Gospel of John or Gospel of Mark before
moving on to other Books of the Bible! Slowly, let the Lord show you to
which Scriptures He wants you to go to next. It is also important to be
part of a body of believers to help you grow in the faith. Find a Bible
believing church that preaches the Word of God from Genesis to
Revelation proclaiming Jesus Christ our crucified and risen Lord who
brings us hope, healing, and help!
No matter who you are, it is not ever too late
to join a Bible-believing church or a college fellowship. I highly
encourage each of you to come to Transformers Small Group on Friday
nights at 7:00 p.m. and Oakland International Fellowship on Sunday
mornings at 9:30 a.m. for prayer, 11:30 a.m. for worship, 10:30 a.m. for
Sunday School, and 12:30 p.m. for fellowship lunch.
May the Lord's presence and peace fill you with His love now and
forever! Amen!
