HOW CAN I STOP DOUBTING GOD AND HIS PROMISES?

“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind” – James 1:6

SUNDAY 19TH SEPTEMBER 2019

I have heard people argue whether God really exists. Some have also dismissed the truth about whether the scriptures can be of any benefits to us. So many questions begin for answers!  Like these people, so many of us feel this way but would rather prefer to hide our feelings. The reason you may doubt God is because you cannot see Him and this makes you doubt the existence of His word as well. Very many times, by some divine opportunity, we are allowed to go through certain experiences in life in order to prove to us that God truly exists. Still, we remain on the threshold of our inner temple where Christ dwells. While on this THRESHOLD, some can hear Jesus knocking the doors of their hearts waiting to be admitted in, and have, in fact, opened for Him to come and dine with them, However, some close their ears or seal off their minds completely away from the yearning of our Lord.  As you continue to devote to God through daily prayers and study of His Word, you definitely will experience God very quickly than those who have not so applied themselves. Your faith is gradually ignited when you daily apply yourself to God’s word and payers. This is because you need a measure of faith in order to have a supernatural encounter with God. The issues of doubts and faith are quite complex. But the fact remains that when we doubt God and His revelations, we stop God from working for us. It is true that God exists, and it is true that God has plans for everyone – notwithstanding religion or ideological biases. What is simply requested from us is to believe that HE IS, and He will hear us when we call on Him. “Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”. (Hebrews 11:11). With faith, we have “assurance” and “conviction.” we are sure of fulfillment, even though we have not seen the evidence with our eyes. Quite frankly, the word of God is God and is already established. God is everywhere and in all things; therefore, the evidence of God is NOT lost on us. To overcome doubts, first, you must trust God absolutely like children would trust their parents. God is perfect and free from human imperfection. He is full of love and grace.  Therefore, God is ready and willing to reveal Himself to us. Secondly, continue to seek God through studying and meditating on the scriptures, as well as regular prayers. This is because the word of God is God, and God also manifests as Jesus and the Holy Spirit, this is why we believe in TRINITY. The Holy Spirit is ever-present to teach the scriptures, but only when we are ready to open up to the Spirit. When you do these things, your doubtful mind will gradually become stable. Today’s Word says, “Have Faith “. Therefore, if you are going through a trial or temptation, that is causing you to doubt God, cry out to God.  He is faithful.  He will never leave or forsake you. Simply say to God; “I BELIEVE YOU HAVE DONE IT ALREADY! “AMEN

PRAYER

Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I declare I am greatly empowered by the Holy Spirit and I confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and savior of the world. Lord, I decree no confusion or fear shall eat up this revelation from my heart. Father, today I reject and renounce any false teaching and deceitful manipulations of my understanding of God, His written word and Jesus Christ. Father, I declare that your promises are manifesting in my life right NOW and the Holy Spirit counsels and empowers me. Amen.
