DOUBT

Depending

On

Understanding

Before

Trusting

 

 

 

Bob Proctor says that the process begins first with a thought of doubt, which

causes an emotion of fear, which manifests itself physically as anxiety. Anxiety

robs us of our power, our energy and our purpose. Severe anxiety can even

undermine our health. And it's all brought on by a thought of doubt.

 

Is this totally true? Yes… if the doubt turns into unbelief. But sometimes Doubt is not unbelief. 

 

Doubting is not necessarily sinful. Doubt is a matter of the mind, while unbelief is a matter of the will. Doubt says, "I don't get it. Help me understand this. Work with me through this." But unbelief says, "I get it. I don't like it. And I refuse to accept or believe it."

G. Campbell Morgan put it this way: "Unbelief is an act of the will, while doubt is born out of a troubled mind and a broken heart.”

 

 

Doubts are good they mean you are asking questions. And questions mean you want

the truth and you want to grow. 

 

I have found three things that help conquer doubt. First, change your mind

about the doubt, and keep it changed. If you have a doubt about whether you're

going to have enough money to make it to the end of the month, change your mind

about it. Whenever the doubt creeps in, affirm to yourself that "I always find a

way to have enough of what I need." I love what Emmet Fox says about this, "If

you will change your mind concerning anything and absolutely keep it changed,

that thing must and will change too. It is the keeping up of the change in

thought that is difficult. It calls for vigilance and determination."

But if you catch doubt now and deal with it, it won’t turn into fear. 

 

Remember only doubt your doubts! 

 

The second thing that overcomes fear and doubt is action. EVER HEAR… "Do the thing you fear

and fear will disappear”

WELL IT’S TRUE. But when it comes to doubt it takes on a little different tone. Doubt out loud and ask yourself what is the worst thing that could happen if your doubt came true? You might realize there are a 100 ways out of that situation… and its not as bad as you thought. 

 

 

But the most important thing to overcoming doubt that turns into fear is Faith.

Fear and Faith are directly opposite views of the future and they cannot co-exist. My Faith is in a Creator who has given me dominion over all things.

Your Faith may be elsewhere, but know this: Faith and fear cannot be present at

the same time.
