OBLITERATING NAGGING DOUBTS

March 4

eloved, nagging doubts are very distracting, and leave the child of God uneasy and uncertain about their relationship to their Father in Heaven. It is important that you settle the issues of your uncertainty of the safety and peaceful communion that you have with your Father through the Holy Spirit. Settle this now, and you can look forward to years of security in the love, grace and moment by moment oversight of your life by your Father. If you let these doubts and uncertainties continue to slide past you, then you can expect to be always returning to answer the question, "did I get truly right with God in the first place?" "What does my Father in Heaven think of me?" Beloved it is a matter of trust on your behalf that you serve the God who cannot tell a lie! In fact, a good approach for you is the following confession: (confession is good for your soul and security in your Father's peace) "Father, in the name of Jesus, I will no longer listen to the small, condemning voice which suggests that you were not gracious enough, nor powerful enough to receive my confession and repentance at my salvation experience! Instead, I confess that the greatest most life-changing power in the universe has been released to me and to all who confess their sins and repent of them in the name of Jesus. I have done this Father, and you personally have stood up on my behalf (wonderful news!) and you have gotten "in the face" of the devil, calling him a liar, saying that he cannot steal back from me my salvation or my joy in the Lord. His evil hands fall helpless and empty by his sides! Thank you, Father, there is no weakness on your part, just on mine! Father, I have set a standard of perfection which is too high for my flesh to reach. I know that I am weak and each moment I need your mercy and grace to touch my life and carry me beyond the old places of fear and doubt. You are here to do just that, and for this I confess you as my Lord and Savior, my deliverer, and healer from all the lies of Satan cast against me!" Wow! What a confession, child! Stick to it! You are closer to your Father than you think you are. I love you my friend and saved child of God!

Father, thank you. You have done it again. I know that your love and knowledge and power is reaching to me in my weakness and lifting me up and out of depression, despair, and fear. Again, I thank you through your faithful Son Jesus, amen!
