We have all heard the phrase, "fear and faith can't fly on the same plane". But, is this true? As I work to live my life by God's design, I continue to question the teachings of the world.
Do you realize that God doesn't actually speak about faith and fear together, but He does speak about DOUBT and faith! In James 1:6 He reminds us that when we ask in faith, we should not doubt. Jesus confirms this by telling us in Matthew 21:21 that if we have faith WITHOUT doubt, we actually can throw a mountain into the ocean!
Fears and doubts go hand in hand, but it is the doubt that is the bigger problem. We have the authority to speak against the doubt and fear, but are we using it? Are we working to BELIEVE what God says? Every day we are given opportunities to test our faith and increase our belief, yet it seems we give the opportunities to the enemy instead.
Ephesians 4:27 tells us to give NO opportunity to the enemy! When you feel doubt creeping in, go to the Word of God and get tough. Speak to your situation and tell it what it will do in Jesus' name. Don't speak about it and create worry, fear and doubt.
God will show you. Just ask Him how. God does the how and you do the do! ♥
