What If I Have Doubts?
1) Direct Answer
Doubts come, but don’t receive them. Bring them straight to Jesus and the Word, confess them, and ask Him to anchor you. Faith is God’s remedy, and faith comes by hearing His Word and being filled with the Holy Spirit.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The Bible says, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24). He will help the honest heart.
- “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). Feed on the Word, and faith will rise.
- “Be not afraid, only believe” (Mark 5:36). Fear and doubt are cousins; the answer is believing what He said.
- “He could there do no mighty work… because of their unbelief” (Mark 6:5-6). Unbelief blocks, faith opens the way.
- “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God… but let him ask in faith, nothing wavering” (James 1:5-8).
- “Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures” (Luke 24:45). He still does that by the Holy Spirit.
- “Draw nigh to God… resist the devil” (James 4:7-8). Doubt is a dart; lift the “shield of faith” (Ephesians 6:16).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Doubt questions, “Hath God said?” Faith answers, “God has said.” If God’s Word is true, then feelings, fears, and circumstances must bow to it.
- What you feed lives: feed faith with the Word and prayer; starve doubt by refusing its suggestions.
- Obedience brings understanding: “If any man will do His will, he shall know” (John 7:17). Walk in the light you have, and more light comes.
4) Short Reinforcing Steps
- Open your Bible and speak the Word out loud; pray, “Lord Jesus, help my unbelief.”
- Repent of any known sin; stay under the Blood (1 John 1:7).
- Ask to be filled and led by the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13; John 16:13).
- Test every thought: if it contradicts the Word, reject it.
- Keep fellowship with believers who point you to Scripture and prayer.
Now notice, did doubt ever save a soul or heal a sick body? The Bible shows God honors faith, not unbelief. Hold to what He said, and He will steady your heart. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Only believe.

Why?

Don't doubt. Don't have a doubt now. If you doubt one bit that you're not going to receive what you come for, it won't do you one bit of good, see. You got to come believing. But right now in the presence of God, in the presence of the Holy Ghost that's here to confirm the Word, come, because that you know He's here, and you know that He'll give you the desire of your heart. That's what He's here for, is to give the desire of your heart. Will you come? That's good. That's fine. That's right. Going to wait just a se...
Faith cometh by hearing
54-0320 §39
...ame way we get faith tonight, is believing God's Word. That's it. Oh! When you show me men and women who will base their faith right there! Now, not their hopes there, see. If you just got hope, you say, "Oh, I believe God will do it. Yes sir. I believe it." You're still hoping. But when faith really takes a hold, it's already done. There's nothing can shake that. It's a positive. There's just... You just say, "Well, I believe God said so. I base my faith there. I believe that." But now, if you're... You can't bluf...
Perfect Faith
63-0825E §14
Now, faith: "He that cometh to God must believe that He is." And it's impossible to please God without faith, you cannot please Him. And if you say you believe God ... you have never seen Him, see, so then you've got to believe it by faith. And if you could see Him, it would be no more faith, see. Anything that the senses declares, is no more faith, it's a scientific fact; see, it's not no more faith. But you have to accept Him by faith. "And he that cometh to God must believe God; and faith comes by hearing the Wo...
Perfect Faith
63-0825E §27
Therefore, He relied upon what God had made Him. And if He did that, then can't we rely upon what God made us as believers? "These signs shall follow them that believe!" He had faith in what He was. And if you are a believer, you have faith in what you are: you are a believer! And if you've got faith in God, the Bible says over here in ... "If our hearts condemn us, then we can't have faith; but if our hearts don't condemn us, then we have faith, we have confidence towards God." If you want to read that, found in S...
Unbelief does not hinder God
62-0128M §47
...not believe. Now let's take unbelief and see what it does. It creates a worry, and it brings oppression, and it can't help you at all. There's no value in unbelief at all. If you... Say if you were going to be shot in the morning at sunrise, it wouldn't help you any to worry about it. Not a bit. It'd only just make it worse on you. So you can't do that. It's not good to do it. "Well," you say, "what does faith do? What does the Word of God do?" It creates a faith. "Well, what could faith do if you was going to be...
