Why don't I receive from God?

James 1:7‭-‬8
For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he  is  a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Many a times, I hear people say, Why don't we receive from God? It could be a job, promotion, a spouse, healing or may be a house or something else. Why don't we get it? You see, God gives you everything by His grace, which is His unmerited and unearned favour. You receive His grace and everything else His grace provides by faith alone.

James says one of the reason believers don't receive is because they are double minded. A double minded says Yes in one moment and in the other moment says No. James compares a double minded person to a wave of the sea which is driven and tossed by the wind. A double-minded person is one who is unstable in all his ways, one who prays one thing but believes another thing and acts like some other thing. There is no stability, no agreement. Winds drive the waves to any direction they want but the same winds cannot move a mountain. One of the main causes of double mindedness is lack of word foundation. When you have no word foundation, you can be tossed and driven by anything people say, by anything you senses tell you and by any pressure that Satan brings across your path.

Friend, take some time and meditate on the scriptures that promise your answers and build a strong and lasting foundation on those verses because you know winds of challenges will come across your path to stop you from receiving what God's grace has freely provided for anyone who will take it. Refuse to waver, refuse to doubt God's word. Build a word stronghold and a word foundation in your mind. Be single minded on the word of God and you will receive everything God has for you. This is your time.
