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.

Unbelief does not hinder God
62-0128M §38
"Well," you say, "That's ... you're getting the people unbelief." No, I'm trying to get them to faith. Faith cometh by hearing. Hearing the creed? That might be in the Almanac, but that's not the Bible. Hearing the Word of God, that's what brings faith. To hear the Word of God, that brings faith. (Now there's about twelve minutes more left. I ... now, I'm too slow again.) Unbelief doesn't destroy God, it doesn't destroy his plan, it doesn't destroy his works; it only destroys the unbeliever. Unbelief only destroys...
Unbelief does not hinder God
62-0128M §26
Unbelief is as old as Eden. That's where it was borned at, was in Eden. And unbelief is to doubt what God has said. Now, did you notice where unbelief was born there was much of the Word of God considered? for Satan said to Eve... When she said, "God has said... ," he did not deny that, that God had said "so-and-so"; but he said, "Surely God wouldn't do a thing like that." See, that was the birth of unbelief: to vary one iota from God's perfect Word. We must stay right with it, regardless of where, or what, or how,...
Faith
57-1229 §66
I said just a little while ago, if God would come and would manifest Himself, if He would prove by an experience that He is the Lord God, that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then you would not have any reason to doubt. Neither could, in my message tonight, any of those who's once seen God's presence. How could Philip doubt? How could Nathanael doubt? How could the woman with the blood issue? She couldn't doubt, she'd touched Him. And He had revealed to her what she touched for.
Earnestly contending for the faith once delivered

...well? Do you believe it with all your heart? Do you? All right, then turn and go to your home rejoicing, God... God grant it in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son. Have faith in God, don't doubt. If thou canst believe, what did He say? [Congregation responds, "All things are possible."] Oh, what a glorious time, living in the presence of the resurrected Jesus Christ. You believe He's raised from the dead? [Congregation praises the Lord] Then if He is Who He has promised; these things... He would do these t...
Have faith in God
54-0900 §8
...e today try to liken Jesus unto a prophet. He was more than a prophet. He was the Emmanuel. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. He was either God Himself manifested in flesh, or the greatest deceiver the world has ever had. He was God. He was both human and God. Coming off the mountain, He was hungry like a man. When He saw the tree, He looked to find figs and there was no figs, and He said, "No man eateth from thee." Turned around and walked away. I wonder why He didn't wait to find out whether tha...
