“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”. (Hebrews 11:11)

Faith is a mysterious divine enabler or power, and it is a gift from God to us, but we must learn to express the gift of faith! To express faith, we must learn to listen to Jesus talk to us in our inner hearts. Often, the master stands on the threshold of our inner temple knocking on the doors of our hearts, waiting to be admitted in. Rather than close your ears or completely seal off your mind from our Lord’s yearning, it is best to open your heart to receive Him. Beloved, that, of course, means that you have to devote yourself to God through daily prayers, meditation, and study of His Word.

Those who devote themselves to God through prayers, meditation and study of the Scriptures definitely will encounter God in prayers very quickly. Beloved, your faith is gradually ignited or expanded when you place hope in God and believe in His power to remedy your situation. With faith, you are enabled to have a supernatural encounter with God through prayers. When we doubt God and His revelations, we stop God from working for us. God indeed exists, and God indeed has plans for everyone – notwithstanding religion or ideological biases. We are requested to believe that HE IS, and He will hear us when we call on Him!

To overcome doubts; First, you must trust God absolutely like children would trust their parents. This is because God is perfect and free from human imperfections. He is full of love and grace. Therefore, God is ready and willing to reveal Himself to us and to lift our burdens away.

Secondly, continue to seek God through studying and meditation on the scriptures, as well as regular prayers. This is because the word of God is God, and God 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 if we are ready to open up to the Spirit.

When you take the above two steps, 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, or you are experiencing trauma, disappointment, heartbreak, or irreversible losses, cry out to God! He is faithful. He will never leave or forsake you. Say to God, “I BELIEVE YOU HAVE DONE IT ALREADY, AND IT IS WELL WITH ME! “AMEN

PRAYER

Lord God, rekindle your spirit in my heart and grant me the power to love and trust thee in all my affliction and infirmity. I believe you are there for me, Lod, Thank you Lord in Jesus mighty name. AMEN
