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.

All things are possible to him that believeth

...rgive me of my unbelief, or, the Bible quotes it, "Help Thou my unbelief," was "forgive my unbelief." There he stands. What is it? Now watch. A few moments ago he was "Sir, if thou can..." But when Jesus caught his attention, He wasn't "Sir." Capital "L-o-r-d." What had happened? When he come to the mercy seat, he found mercy. Hallelujah! I know you'll think I'm crazy; maybe I am. Let me alone though. I'm happy this way. Look. "If thou can." Pastor, I believe you have been right. "If thou can," and He looked at him...
Perfect Faith

When Satan tempts us, we are to resist him in a perfect faith in a perfect Word, like Jesus did. The Word of God is perfect. We're to have perfect faith in this perfect Word, and resist Satan. Now, we'll hurry, just as quick as we can. By His faith in His Word we (He conquers), we can conquer anything: both death, hell, and the grave. We know that God is God, that perfect faith in God's perfect Word, He conquered everything that He come in contact with. Death could not even stand in His presence. Sickness could not...

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."...
Perfect Faith

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...

...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...
