Words of Comfort, Strength, and Encouragement

DRIVE OUT DOUBT AND UNBELIEF!!

II Corinthians 10:4-5 "For the weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and blood, but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds. Inasmuch as we refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ."

What is the biggest hindrance in our lives that keeps us from living the Supernatural life that God desires for us to live? Doubt and unbelief! What keeps faith from operating in our lives? Our wavering trust in the Lord. James 1: 6-7 says that we must operate in faith with no wavering, no hesitating, no doubting, and no unbelief. A person who wavers, hesitates, doubts, or has unbelief is like a wave out at sea that is tossed hither and thither by the wind. It goes on to say, "Does such a person believe that he will receive anything from the Lord?"  If you can't fully trust the Lord, don't expect to Him to bless you.

Doubt and unbelief are our greatest enemies to a victorious life! Take your burdens to the Lord and leave it in His hands. If the enemy tries (and most times he will) to convince you to pick your burdens back up, immediately repent of such a thought, and give your burdens back to the Lord. Leave it there and trust Him to fight your battle. Don't doubt Him! He doesn't need your help! He simply wants you to Trust Him. To trust Him to fight and win this battle for you. You must take your thoughts captive and turn them around to a positive statement of trust in the Lord God. You must conquer doubt and unbelief. This trial you are going through is only your training ground. This trial that you are going through is not to destroy you, but to strengthen you. TRUST HIM!

Our minds must be renewed! Renewed every day, so practice.  Remember how you practiced saying your speeches for Easter? You practiced until you could recite it without looking at the paper? Well, practice every day confessing the Word of God and cast down doubt until it takes root in your soul. Step on doubt and unbelief! Declare I will trust God no matter if my back is against the wall. Take the Authority over the enemy in the Name of Jesus Christ!  Command things to line up according to God's plan! Don't give place to the devil in any area of your life! Fill yourself up to overflowing with the Word of God. Your flesh and your reasonings must die! Remember you can't mix faith and trust, with doubt and unbelief! Like oil and water, they don't mix!!! If doubt has a place in your life, faith cannot operate. Faith cannot operate with reasoning. Faith operates with complete trust in God and Who He Is! Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to.  YOU MUST BELIEVE!

Doubt comes in the moment you let a little thought of 'Is it real?' "Can I do this?"  'Will God really be there for me?' enter your mind. Where do these thoughts come from? God? NO! The devil? YES! The enemy is the one who causes you to start questioning God's promises. The Word says, If thou can believe all things are possible with God; I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me; God will never leave me nor forsake me. So you see it's the enemy that constantly asks you those questions. The devil knows if he can get you to doubt with by asking you those simple questions, he has won. It's a new year, time out for all that old foolish thinking. It's time that we rise up and take our rightful place as a child of God and say 'I will trust Him, and will not doubt! We need to declare these statements out loud daily. We need to declare them as often as we can!!!!  Like taking medicine, you may need to repeat them once every 4 hours, or as needed.  YOU MUST TRUST HIM!

Remember the devil was defeated when Christ died for us and rose on the third day.  He can only operate when we let him! Arise! Arise right now above the things, which have held you captive! Arise, Arise now and take authority and be victorious in Jesus over all the enemies of your soul! DRIVE OUT ALL DOUBT AND UNBELIEF!!
