OVERCOMING DOUBT AND NEGATIVISM

October 24

y children, do you have a difficult time believing certain things about your Heavenly Father? You want with all your heart to believe the highest and best of your Father's power and love, but as with Thomas in the Bible you say, "Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe." (John 20:25) This really upsets you doesn't it? Well, don't worry, your Heavenly Father loves you and knows the struggle that you are having. Let me help you, beloved! If you ever have a crisis of faith on any divine matter just think about the following: "I must not begin with my Father at the point of my fears and doubts, but I must begin at the point of what I can accept and believe!” What do I mean by this? Answer this question, "Do you believe that your Father always speaks the truth about all things?" Yes, of course you do! You quickly say, "Let every man be a liar, but let God be the Truth." (Romans 3:4) I am glad that you feel this way. Now look at this: Even though you may say, "I have a hard time believing in divine healing; I have difficulty with feeling condemned and with doubts; I am troubled about God's faithfulness at times” The one thing that you do not have difficulty with is that I, your Heavenly Father, cannot tell a lie! I will always speak to you the truth! Correct? Then, your doubts and fears are cast out when you say, "I accept that God's truth is greater than any of my doubts! So, now whether you understand it or not, for you to believe in my healing power is no longer a crisis of faith for you, simply because your Father in His word says, "I am the Lord that healeth thee!" (Exodus 15:26) Now you accept and believe, not based on your attempts to muster up faith or acceptance, but rather based on your belief that your Father cannot tell a lie! He always has and always will speak to you the truth. Now the pressure is off you to come across with answers to why you have doubts and fears! The burden of proof about any matters of faith rests on your Father’s personal integrity, and not on you or on your explanations or beliefs. You are now free to speak everywhere and to everybody about the awesome power and abilities of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You are free by the power and assurance of His word to you! You are greatly loved!

Prayer

Father, I do not put my trust in a system of beliefs or a creed! My faith and trust is directly in you. By your love and power, I am sustained. When you speak to me your words are life to me! I will forever give them preeminence in my thinking and life of faith. I will never allow doubts to rule in my mind. How can I? Your words are sweet to me. "Speak for thy servant hears!" (I Samuel 3:10 NKJV) I bless the God of Heaven whose Son Jesus is to be adored and worshipped, world without end, amen!
