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.

...a stomach trouble; you can't eat. It's a condition in the stomach that's causing you trouble. And you've got a place that troubles you in your back, and that was caused by lifting a patient one time, and strained your back. Those things are true. Now, if God is present to say what is true... You know whether that's right or not: Ever what He told you is in your back life. Will you believe me as His prophet tonight? You're healed; you can go. God bless you, for I see you ... time after you're well. God be with you a...

Along come Pentecost and measured down the gift of the Holy Spirit: speaking with tongues, and signs. But we're just letting a big gap through. Let's us tonight lay the measure of God down and measure the whole Word of God. The same Holy Ghost that fired the piston back there that brought them out by faith---justification---same one gave sanctification, the same one gave the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That same power, the same Holy Ghost, can move the church to perfection, and it will do it, to everything that God...

That's not so with Jesus. No matter how little you are, or how little your faith is, just wave it; He will see it just as well as He sees the others' faith. Oh, that makes Him so lovable, so real. No matter how small, whatever you offer Him, He's ready to receive it. And then another thing, faith works much by experience. Or, may I change that, and say it this way, "Experience accompanies faith." Usually if you've had an experience, it will be a great help to your faith.

Now, if He is the living Word, then this wrote on the Bible is part of Him. Then, if you can receive this into Him, which is the Word...

Nothing... Therefore, "If you say to this mountain 'Be moved,' and don't doubt in your heart..." Because what? You are deity speaking. You believe it? The Bible said so. And whatever y...

And I feel sorry for the American people. They have so much theology taught to them. One says, "Oh, well, it's this," and the other one, "This." And you've got so indoctrinated till you hardly know what to believe. Brother, listen, and my, sister, listen tonight: Jesus Christ is always truth. His manifestation, His resurrection, His power has always been the same. And that's what's truth tonight, as Jesus said, "I am the truth, the way, the truth, the life." Is the resurrected Jesus Christ making Himself manifested...
