… enlightening your human spirit.
DOUBT IS DANGEROUS.
“But when he saw [the effects of] the wind, he was frightened, and he began to sink, and he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus extended His hand and caught him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:30-31 AMP
Whatever faith produces, faith is required to sustain it! If you have believed in God to do anything for or with you, doubt can destroy that thing if you allow it!
Faith made Peter to step out of the boat to walk on the water, as Jesus walked! But doubt almost drowned him! The negative circumstances that were happening around him as he walked on the water caught his attention-the wind and the waves! Whereas, they were already there even before he stepped out of the boat! He had defied them by faith, and rendered them powerless -by his faith! Matthew 14:24 AMP “But the boat [by this time] was already a long distance from land, tossed and battered by the waves; for the wind was against them.” Peter disregarded them, because he simply believed he too could walk on water like His Master! And, he did! But, suddenly, he returned to focusing on the negatives around him, rather than focusing on the possibilities that were already happening right in front of him! He looked back, at the waves and the wind that he had already bypassed… faith vanished from his heart, because doubt stepped in… then, he began to sink!!
If you trust God for anything, believe Him to the end! If you believe God is with you, believe that till your last day on earth!! Jesus was impressed that Peter tried for some while, but He felt he could have done better by having faith till the end!! So He told him: “… O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” I don’t know what you have trusted God for, or what you have always believed God would help you to accomplish. My humble advice for you is, do not doubt. Believe Him to the end! Doubt can make you sink, just as it almost sunk Peter!! Read Mark 9:23 AMP “Jesus said to him… All things are possible for the one who believes and trusts [in Me]!” Your goals are achievable, keep believing… do not doubt!
PRAY
:
Father, thank you for your word. I believe you totally! Forgive my doubts and unbeliefs oh God. I trust you to fulfill your promises to me, and to help me… in Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen!
