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
63-0825E §16
Notice, it is something that you possess; it's not imagination, you really have it. It's just as real to you as any other thing that could be. It's just as real as you know that you're riding in your automobile. It's just as real as you know that you're setting in a church. It's just as real as you hear my voice. It is a substance, not an imagination, not an emotion; but something that you have, and it comes to you by hearing the Word of God (and that only). " Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the Word of God."...

Peter, he was doing all right till he got scared. The Word told him, he could walk on the water. He was scared at first, he thought it was a ghost, and he said, "Lord, if it be You, bid me come to You on the water." He said, "Come on." Now, that's just the same as James 5:14, same as Mark 16; it's the same God said it, said, "Come on." And so he started walking. He done all right, got down out of the ship, started walking on... There was a storm on the sea, you know; great, whitecap waves, bigger than these hills a...
Have faith in God

...aith and is spooked at every little scarecrow the devil can put before him. Oh, my, he thinks, "Oh, I'm not any better. I just don't feel as well as I did yesterday." What difference does it make? If you've got real faith in your heart that God's going to keep His Word, all the hurts, and aches, and pains, and shadows will not amount to anything. You believe it in your heart. It's yours, and there's nothing can take it away from you. It's yours; it's a gift that God has given you, the blessed assurance that what yo...
Faith

Now, if the Lord Jesus will let me know what your trouble is, will you believe that it's Him standing here and not your brother? You believe it's Jesus that's telling that? Would that be your attitude towards Him? If it would, would you raise your hand? All right, sir. All right. It would be. Now, may the Lord grant it. Will the rest of you believe with all your heart, everywhere? Now, get all the doubt away from you. More doubt you get combed out, greater God can work with you. Remember, it is not me: Christ in a...

Have faith in God. All right. (Is this the patient?) Do you believe? Then if a man says anything, as a man, you've got a right to doubt the man. But when God testifies that it's the truth, then you've got no right to doubt God, but to say that it's the truth. And I have testified to you that Jesus Christ the Son of God rose from the dead, and promised the same things that He did will be done also. And here He is tonight, doing the same things that He did when He was here. Do you want to get over that head trouble y...
