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.

Have faith in God

Now in this, Jesus said, "No fruit grow on you." And the next day when they come through by the tree... Of course, the apostle Peter always watching for every little thing if he could think to look at, why, he looked over and he said, "Why, Master, behold the tree. Why, it's already withering." Why, Jesus turned to him and said, "Have faith in God. For if you would say to this mountain, be plucked up and cast away and don't doubt but believe that it will come to pass; you will have what you ask for." Isn't that sim...

...Ignatius among them) to teach that the idea of a bishop was one of preeminence or authority and control over the elders. Now the truth of the matter is the word 'elder' signifies who the person is, while the word 'bishop' signifies the office of the same man. The elder is the man. Bishop is the office of the man. 'Elder' always has and always will refer simply to a man's chronological age in the Lord. He is an elder, not because he is elected or ordained, etc., but because he IS OLDER. He is more seasoned, trained,...
Unbelief does not hinder God

...is such a thing as new birth. But what I think it is, is a change of mind." But it isn't a change of mind; it's a new creature. It isn't... The church doesn't need a face lifting; it needs a conversion. It needs to be a new creature. And unbelief will push you over to one side. Many of them say, "Well, we believe in the Holy Ghost in our place, but we believe that when we believe God we receive the Holy Ghost." Now, you see how close that is? What if the disciples, after six days, Matthew said to Andrew, "You know...
Faith without works is dead

That minister has just as much right to pray, or any of the other ministers, or not only a minister, but any Christian who's a believer, to pray with faith, prayer of faith... Anybody who believes in praying for the sick, believes in Divine healing anybody: woman, man, boy, girl. I've seen my little girl, that's only three years old prayed for a crippled child, and it was healed. That's right. For her little heart begin to beat; she said, "Daddy, look at that, the little girl." I said, "Pray for her, honey." And a...

...rested the seventh day." See, there is no doubt that He is the Creator. He was the Creator of a FINISHED PHYSICAL CREATION. Surely we can see what these words mean now. To have any other interpretation would mean that God created God. How could God be created when He, Himself, is the Creator?
