WHAT IS DOUBT?
QUESTION: differentiate between a question (I am trying to understand who God is), The mind wrestles.
DOUBT: doubt (I don’t understand and I am uncomfortable with it) The heart and mind wrestle.
UNBELIEF: unbelief - a choice, its a matter of the will and not the mind. (you abandon God)
 
1) Many people think doubt is the opposite of faith, but it isn’t. Unbelief is the opposite of faith. Unbelief refers to a willful refusal to believe, while doubt refers to inner uncertainty.
2) Many people think doubt is unforgivable, but it isn’t. God doesn’t condemn us when we question him. Both Job and David repeatedly questioned God, but they were not condemned. God is big enough to handle all our doubts and all our questions.
3) Many people think struggling with God means we lack faith, but that’s not true. Struggling with God is a sure sign that we truly have faith. If we never struggle, our faith will never grow.
 
REMEMBER:Doubt
Satan can sound very reasonable, but he is never reliable. Gary Zarlingo
 
Doubt zaps joy, obedience, effectiveness
A Loss of Blessings:
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
 
THE CURE IS NOT TO CHOOSE TO NEVER DOUBT AGAIN… Doubting everything and believing everything are two equally convenient solutions that guard us from having to think.
 
 
Mark 9: 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!”
 
MAYBE THE MOST HONEST HUMBLE VULNERABLE AND HUMILIATING CONFESSION IN SCRIPTURE… YES I BELIVE BUT…. I HAVE DOUBTS.
 
 
 
SOMETIMES THE GREATEST ACT OF FAITH IS HONESTY REGARDING OUR LACK OF FAITH!
 
 
 
Do you doubt? Tell God about it. Ask him to help your unbelief… its maybe the greatest act of faith you will ever have.
