“Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
1 Peter 5:9
We know that the enemy lives in our doubts, fears and uncertainties because God did not give us the spirit or fear.
As believers, we are affirmed by the word of God that lets us know that we’ve indeed been given the grace and power to release and reject fear or doubt when it comes.
So why don’t we?
Everything that is happening in my journey right now was shown to me in a vision several months ago. I believed but still I doubted.
Although I did not doubt the Holy One who gave me the vision, I doubted the power of the sight that saw it. I doubted my ability to see so clearly in the realm of God’s glory to believe that what I saw already was, thus I needed to believe in its manifestation here on earth.
Friend, I dare you to doubt your doubts.
I could never have imagined a few years back that my fragile feet could move so confidently and become accustomed to a path of purpose and promise.
As ordered by our Father in heaven, we are to walk by faith and not by sight. I thank God for the testimony of my lips that my faith has been rewarded by the manifestation before me.
Often times, because we fail to put on the whole armor of God, we are unable to resist the lies of the adversary. Doubt in the word of God is a fruit of the enemy’s lying seed. I dare you to abort that seed of doubt today!
Do you not remember that God is not man that He would lie?!
Whatever the Lord has promised, whatever word that has come forth from His Holy lips can never go void because it must accomplish that which it was said to do by the Creator of heaven and earth!
We are believers. We are the children of the most High God who lives in truth and Holiness. If HE said it, it is already done! So why are you still cradling your doubt? Why are you still sleeping with fear and residing with uncertainty?

Do you not know that resisting the enemy is what will make him flee?
I am reminding you today that just like you, I too have suffered greatly from the doubts that overwhelm my soul about the promises over my life.
I too have fallen short and stumbled in disbelief in my walk with God, but I give Him glory for the grace to rise again, to stand firm in faith again, to resist fear again, to dare to believe again, and to press toward that which is ahead.
Friend, I dare you to doubt your doubts today. I dare you to look that lying spirit in the eye and cast it down for it dares to exalt itself above your knowledge of a faithful God.
I pray for you and I. May the Lord above grant us the courage to come boldly before the throne of grace and to receive the fullness of His glorious promises in Jesus name. Amen.
