I Dare You To Doubt Your Doubts

“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.

“O You Of Little Faith”

little faith

“Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart…”

Psalm 86:11

It’s been going on three months now since I heed God’s instructions to leave my job. In plain terms, I have been unemployed since January 15th. Yet, I have never hungered or thirst. There is life in my body and joy in my spirit. Glory be to God.

Indeed there are trying days. Truth be told, I strive each day to abide in God’s peace a little more than the day before. Thus, my best days are the days I feel most grounded in faith.

My most fruitful and productive days are those spent in the Word and the recollection that I serve a faithful God who will not leave me to be consumed by the worries of this world.

Friend, faith brings you to a realm like no other. We need faith like we need air to breathe for it is faith that  breathes new life and new hope into your lungs each day that moves us forward to victory.

Recall the story of the only other man aside from Jesus that ever walked on water. Yes, Peter. (See Matthew 14 vs 22-33)

The storm not only blinded some of the disciples to think their Master was a ghost, it shook the faith out of them. And even when they saw Christ walk on water, Peter alone was the one whose faith gave him a chance to walk on water too…but doubt then caused Peter to stumble.

It was not until peter literally took his eyes off of Christ and looked back to the others, that he then fell into the raging sea and had to be rescued by the Lord.

And what was the first thing Christ said?

“O ye of little faith…”

Friend I wonder today if like me, you feel yourself stumbling and even drowning because you have momentarily allowed your heart to be divided by doubts and uncertainty. I wonder if, just if we too can walk on water and mount greater thresholds when we keep pour eyes on the Most High God.

I wonder if our minds would lead our hands to assemble great things that can only be made possible by God in His majesty and faithfulness to us.

I mean, if Peter, who walked with Christ and saw for himself the many miracles that Christ brought to life, still stumbled in his faith, how much more susceptible are we to stumbling?

How many times have you felt your confidence slip away suddenly? How often do you feel less motivated to carry on and achieve the ambitions that God has placed inside of you? Ask yourself, “when did the shift come about?” “What was, and what is the measure of your faith?”

Are you even aware of the difference?

Your faith is not a destination, but a journey with God. It is not a place you reach and stop, for the Word states that we are destined to go from faith to faith and glory to glory in Jesus name.

The Spirit says the faith that got you here may not be enough for what will be tomorrow, but your willingness and confidence in your Father, to see the full glory of HIM who can do all things, will surely bring you to the height that HE intended for you.

As we are being crafted by the Potter, may HE continue to keep our hearts and remold us to be unshaken in our faith. May God help us to keep our eyes on HIM alone as we sail through worldly storms in Jesus name. Amen.
