First of all I want to give you a limited understanding of what the word wicked means. The word wicker is derived from the word wicked. Most of us have seen or perhaps own wicker furniture. It means to be twisted. That’s a solid definition of unbelief. Unbelief is twisted belief. At it’s core unbelief can’t be trusted. Why? Because it gives us nothing substantial to remain firm on. Unbelief has no substance to it. The Bible admonishes concerning the word unbelief. The Lord Jesus Christ dealt with His disciples about their inability to cast an evil spirit out of a man’s son. Jesus told His disciples that it was because of their unbelief — their twisted belief. Then in Mark 9:24 the father of the son makes an astounding statement. He said “Lord I believe, help my unbelief” — my twisted belief.

The Apostle Paul in the book of Hebrews warns against having a core of unbelief — center that’s twisted — wicked.

So watch your step, friends. Make sure there’s no evil unbelief lying around that will trip you up and throw you off course, diverting you from “The Living God.” (Hebrews 3:12 —The Message) –AWM
