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.

Time-tested faith
58-0530 §17
Now, faith will just do anything that you have a need of being done, if you'll put it to work. But most churches today, they got just as far as they teach: just accept Jesus by faith and that settles it. That's like a man was that was eating a slice of watermelon. He said, "That was good, but there's some more of it somewhere." So that's the way it is: to accept Christ is good, but there's more of it. And then, when a man accepts Christ as his personal Saviour, then all the good things that God has promised is layi...

And Abraham ... when he started to take his child's life, the Holy Spirit grabbed his hand. Said "Abraham, stay your hand, I know you love me." Amen. That's the kind of a person that I want to be. Love God regardless of what takes place. "Stay your hand." Give you a trial where it's even against your own thinking, but as long as the Word said so, do it anyhow. "Stay your hand. I know that you love me, because you've not even withheld your only son from me." Said, "...blessing, I'll bless you," and said, "his seed s...

How do you do? If the Holy Spirit can tell me what your trouble is, you believe Him? Then will you? You believe. All right. You have a nervous condition. You have roaring in your head---'r-r-r-r' going like that all the time. That's right. Then you was examined for a growth, and they found the growth was in the rectum. You believe with all your heart now? All right. Go on your road believing. You'll get well. Do you believe with all your heart? Just have faith, don't doubt. Believe that Jesus Christ the same yester...
Faith cometh by hearing

...t? Now, how do we get faith? "Faith cometh by hearing. Hearing what? The Word of God." Now, that's right. You can't base it on nothing else but the Word of God. It's got to have... Now, you just can't have faith, just say, "Oh well, if you go over here and touch that, it will make you well. Now, touch the radio, or touch this, that, or the other." I just can't go that. No, sir. I've got to have something that's strong basically, and the strongest thing I know of is the Word of God!

...ing on her heart. She is praying for someone else, which is an elderly woman. That's her mother, and her mother has paralyses; she's a crippled woman. You are a minister's wife, and you've got others on your heart that you're praying for. Don't doubt. Have faith. You'll receive what you asked for. Do you believe it? God help you then. Go, and receive it, my sister. All right. The Lord God knows both of us, lady. I do not know you. But God does know us. If He will tell me what you're here for, you believe? Will the...
