(05/15/2000) dealing with doubts


hello prayer warriors, 1. prayer note: dealing with doubts [Mark 11:22] And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. After listening to so many messages about faith, and knowing God's Word, sometimes do you find that you still doubt? There may be times that we doubt, there are times when I doubt. I know that God loves me very much, but sometimes when things happen, I wonder whether God loves me. For some of us, it might be more fundamental things that we doubt. When we doubt, we usually doubt His Word. We know His Word and what His Word says and we still doubt. How then should we deal with our doubts? I read a book by Russ Johnston on faith and he has this to say. Call your doubt "sin". Jesus says "Have faith in God", so what happens when we don't? Are we being disobedient? If we are, the right way to deal with it is to come before God and ask Him for forgiveness and for help to deal with it. This was what happened with the man who had a son who was tormented by a demonic spirit. He had probably tried all means when he came to Jesus and probably he had also doubted whether it is possible for his son to be healed. When he came before Jesus, [Mark 9:23-24] 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. That is the way we have to deal with our unbelief, confess and ask God to help us. Not deal with it by using all of the faculties of our mind and entertain all kinds of questions and delve further and further into rationalisation or depression. Faith does not come from our brain power. As Reinhard Bonke said, our mind is our doubt-box, but our heart is our faith-box. Come before God and let Him deal with our heart. Faith comes from hearing the Word and from our heart and from our will: "If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes". 2.
