HOW CAN I STOP DOUBTING GOD AND HIS PROMISES?

 
DECEMBER 28th 2017

Today’s Scriptures: “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


Recently, someone told me frankly that He does not believe in the scriptures or in God. He feels that the promises of God in the scriptures cannot be fulfilled in anyone’s life. Like this brother, 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. The issues of doubts and faith are quite complex. But the fact remains that when we doubt God and His revelations, we stop God working for us. “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. Secondly, continually seek God through studying the scriptures and prayer. Join a body of believers. Gradually, your doubtful mind would become stable. Today, 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. 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. Lord, I declare the promises of God are manifesting in my life right NOW and the Holy Spirit counsels and empower me. Amen.
