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.

The door to the heart

Oh, have faith in God. Don't doubt. The man that's next to me here. I don't know you, sir. We're strangers to each other. Now, if you can believe... "All things are possible to them that believe." Something happened. It was a man. The gentleman, sitting looking this way, right back there with something, white-checkered-looking shirt on, well, he's got heart trouble. If he will believe with all his heart, the Lord Jesus will make you well. You believe it. Next, there is a rupture. Do you believe that God would heal...

...on. Jesus never did anything until it was first showed Him by the Father. John 5:19. This harmony is now to exist between the Groom and His bride. He shows her His Word of life. She receives it. She never doubts it. Therefore, nothing can harm her, not even death. For if the seed be planted, the water will raise it up again. Here is the secret of this. The Word is in the bride (as it was in Mary). The bride has the mind of Christ for she knows what He wants done with the Word. She performs the command of the Word i...
Faith cometh by hearing

Then when I have told you this and God has said it's the truth, I say that every person in here... If there is sin in your life now, get rid of it, now. But accept Jesus tonight as your personal property, as Jesus Christ (your personal property), to heal you right now and there will not be one feeble person leave this building. That's right. Every one of you will go home with a faith sticking here, no matter what you feel like. You'll go home well because God has said so. It's yours. "Faith cometh by hearing, heari...

...the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." There is absolutely no doubt that Elijah must return before the coming of Jesus. He has a specific work to accomplish. That work is the part of Malachi 4:6 that says "he will turn the hearts of the children to their fathers". The reason that we know this is his specific work to do at that time is because he has already accomplished the part that says "he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children," when the Elijah ministry was...

The second Son (Jesus), also a spoken Seed-Word of God was given a bride like as was Adam. But before He could marry her, she also had fallen. She, like Adam's wife, was put to the test whether she would believe the Word of God and live, or doubt the Word and die. She doubted. She left the Word. She died.
