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.

Perfect Faith

Look! He knew that He pleased God. He knew that there was nothing on His life. God had already testified, "This is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased, hear Him! This is my beloved Son in whom I'm pleased to dwell in," at the day of His baptism. "I'm pleased to make my abode in here, there's no condemnation to Him at all." Now, when the same God comes to you, and is pleased to dwell in you, pleased to honor your word, what your decision is... What was Joshua's decision? "Stand still, sun!" And it stood there. A...
Faith cometh by hearing

Now, faith first has to be based on the Word. The Word of God produces faith. Now, if God said so, then I believe it. I'd believe it with all my heart. Now, it's just not because "Brother Branham, Brother ... somebody else laid hands on me; I believe it by that." That doesn't have... That's obeying orders. But my hands to be laid on you is no more than Brother Joseph's hand, or any other minister, or any other lay member of the church. Everybody that believes in divine healing and is a Christian has a right to pray...
Faith
57-1229 §6
What a blessed promise. Faith in God. It's a staggering thing to many people. And yet we ought to be ashamed of ourselves to confess that we don't have faith in God. First, there is cowards who die ten thousand deaths while they're here on earth, and a hero never dies. His memories linger on for his great heroic deeds. And usually people who have faith are people who have experience. Experience brings faith. I think that's the reason that the Bible teaches us... Jesus said in Saint John the 3rd chapter, "Except a m...

...k for. 'Cause it echoes in your heart, or sets in your heart, and you know you believe it, and you know you got it, before you even get it, see. Faith is the substance. And if people just... What it is, people trying to believe to be saved. That's intellectual faith. The Word will produce intellectual faith, but God has to produce the results. Now, if your faith is in your mind, that's not too good. Put your faith down here. Let your mind, it'll reason all out, say, "Well, now, let's see. It said this, the doctor s...
Be certain of God

...s name. Faith won't move, for it's sure that God is and a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. May this go way down deep and never move from you, Branham Tabernacle. If you've met God's requirement, and in your heart you believe that He is, God's only testing your faith, for He loves to do that. You've confessed your sins and you've met every requirement that God requires, and still He lays silent, remember, faith says that He is. Then faith holds onto it, not knowing what it's all about, but it knows that H...
