Doubt and Fear

God did not give us a spirit of fear but a spirit of faith that overcome doubt and fear. In doing so we can now freely walk in perfect love. Love is a weapon use to help cast out such sins as unbelieve. God want us to be bless. Therefore, we must believe what we have not seen and have faith in the things to come through Jesus Christ. Readings Matthew 14: 24-33 to help you build your faith to overcome daily trials. Faith will also help you to reverence God and not fear man. Actually, we encourage you not to take your eyes off Jesus who is your primary souce of protection. According to Matthew 14: 28-33, Peter took his eyes off Jesus and lost faith and became fearful. He began to doubt the power of God while he was walking on water trusting God to hold him up. However, he got distracted and lost faith. He began to sink when doubt stepped in.

Although, Peter was afraid, he knew who to call upon in time of trouble and that was Jesus. He cried out for the Lord to save him and was saved. We have to remember when we are afraid or have fear in our lives we must know who to turn to for deliverance. Keep Jesus in your near presence to help you overcome fear and doubt at all times. God is our source in times of trouble no matter if we become afraid or lose trust. Just turn to Jesus always.

Remember doubting Thomas? Be not of little faith or doubt those things which you have not seen. Read John 20: 24-31. Doubting Thomas was one of the 12 disciples in the Bible. Another name for Thomas was Didymus, which comes from the Hebrew and Greek words both meaning 'the twin.' He wasn't one of the more well known disciples, but he was popular enough to earn the nickname "Doubting Thomas." He was given this label because he simply did not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. I too have been a 'Doubting Thomas.' But the experience made me a better person and made my faith so much more stronger in my walk with Jesus. I doubted many times about who I am in Christ. I know who I am now because I have faith and believe the word of God.

What happens to him? Doubting Thomas does not stay a doubter. When he sees the risen Jesus, all that Jesus has taught over the years now clicks in, and to his death Thomas is an outspoken advocate for his Lord. You to can become free of doubt and fear and move to be an advocate for Jesus Christ. Use your experiences and make testimonies of them too help the next person gain freedom from doubt and fear.

Bless the Lord,
