            DOUBT 
            What is doubt? Doubt is feeling                     unsettled in an opinion or belief; uncertain, undecided; to                     be likely to disbelieve; to be uncertain about something;                     to feel distrust; to waver in an opinion or belief; unsure;             giving rise to suspicion; questioning. Doubt is the opposite of faith. 
            
              - (1)                 submit to God, 
 
              - (2)                 pray for strength to resist,
 
              - (3)                 run, sometimes literally, and 
 
              - (4)                 say NO when confronted with what we know is wrong. Blessings                 and rewards wait for those who don’t give in when tempted. 
 
             
            James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried,               he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised             to them that love him. [KJV] 
            
              - God                 does not lie.
 
              - God                 does not forget.
 
              - God                 does not change His Words.
 
              - God                 always fulfills His Promises.
 
             
            We can trust the ENTIRE Bible because it contains the words of a holy, trustworthy,             and unchangeable God. 
            Matthew 14:31 And               immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him,               and said unto him, O thou of                 little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? [KJV] . . .  When our faith falters, it doesn’t mean we have               failed. When Peter’s faith faltered, he                 reached out to Christ, the only One who could help.               He was afraid, but he still looked to Christ. When troubles               surround you and you begin to doubt in Christ’s Presence or               ability to help, please remember that He is the only One who               can really help. 
            Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily               I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall               not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if               ye shall say unto                 this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the                 sea; it shall be done. [KJV] . . . Jesus’                statement that if we have faith and don’t doubt,               does not mean literal "mountain-moving" acts.               He was NOT suggesting we perform magic, or miracles.               He was making a strong point about the disciples’ (and our) lack of faith. We face many ‘mountains’ (troubles)               in our daily lives. Have you talked to God about them? How               strong is your faith?  Luke 17:5 And the apostles                 said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. [KJV] --- We are               permitted to ask for more faith. It pleases God when we do. 
            Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.               [KJV] If you see our Lord Jesus with an eye of faith, you               will worship Him. Yet at times, the faith of God’s children               may be weak and wavering. Our faith is never on the               same level. One day it will be up . . .  the next day it seems               to drop. But Christ gave such convincing proofs of His resurrection,               it makes our faith triumph over our doubts. As this verse               states, there will always be those who doubt Christ.  
            Acts 10:17 Now               while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had               seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius               had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, [KJV] --- The prejudices of Peter against the Gentiles, would               have prevented his going to Cornelius, unless the Lord had               prepared him. God knows what services are before us, and knows               exactly how to equip us. We should never doubt the Lord when               He asks something of us.  
            1 Timothy 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting               up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. [KJV] --- We               must pray in love; without wrath, malice, or anger at any               person. We must pray in faith, without                 doubting, and without arguments, trusting               God completely! God has never told                 a lie, nor will He ever tell a lie. God cannot lie! Trust                 Him!  
            DOUBTS 
            Doubts, are simply traitors to our soul, 
  "I can’t" is born of doubt, that took control! 
              But faith is a ‘flame,’ deep down inside, 
              We should always seek, for faith to abide! 
            Doubts are really betrayers to our heart, 
              Doubt in our life, should not be a part! 
              All our excuses, of doubt are born, 
              Faith instead, God’s children should adorn! 
            Doubts are truly a negative power, 
              Cramping and crippling, hour after hour! 
              Satan wants us to doubt God, alway, 
              Don’t give in, and become the devil’s prey! 
            Doubts, will absolutely make you fail, 
              Your common sense, will be to no avail! 
              Unbelief makes you God’s enemy, 
              God wants us to believe; you and me! 
            Doubts will keep you from eternal success, 
              For the ‘Ladder’ to Heav’n, you can’t access! 
              Christ is this ‘Ladder;’ you must believe! 
              Throw away your doubt, and Him receive! 
            Doubt is a sin, that will lead you to Hell, 
              And there for eternity, you shall dwell! 
              Open your heart’s door, to Jesus today! 
              Total faith in Christ, is the only way!

            How             Can I Stop Worrying? 
            Worry goes right               along with doubt. Worry is agitation, anxiety, confusion,               distress, disquietness, distress, disturbed, dread, doubt,               fear, fretting, misgiving, mistrust, torment, upset, etc.               Worry is a very self-destructive emotion. It shows a lack               of faith (doubt, which is sin) on our part, that God truly               does loves us and is always in control. We should not worry               but instead trust God, giving ourselves completely over to               Him. Any time you dwell on your problems, you will become               anxious and angry, and quite often the things you worry about               never even happen. A favorite expression of a lady in one               of my classes is: "You are crossing bridges that have               never been built." If, on the other hand, you concentrate               on God and His goodness, you will find peace and contentment               deep within.  
            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. [KJV]               You MUST have faith or you CANNOT please God. You MUST trust               Him always, in all things. Doubt and worry should not be part               of a true Christian's life. Any time doubt or worry sneaks               into your mind, go to the Lord in prayer immediately! Ask               for His help to overcome these attacks by Satan.  
            James 4:7 Submit               yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will               flee from you. [KJV] Many people quote the last part of               this verse. The KEY is the first part! You CANNOT "resist               the devil" without Jesus' help! SUBMIT yourself to God,               then you will be well able to resist the devil. 
            Philip. 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer               and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made               known unto God. [KJV] Quit worrying! To worry less, pray               more! 
               
              1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for                         he careth for you. [KJV] Take ALL your problems to God               in prayer and trust Him to help you. 
               
              Psalm 37:8-9 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:                         fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. [9] For evildoers                         shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they                         shall inherit the earth. [KJV] . . . A worried, discontented               spirit is wide open to many temptations.  
            Proverbs               20:24 Man's goings are of the Lord; how can a                 man then understand his own way? [KJV] . . . How can we understand               the road we travel? It is the Lord who directs our steps.               A child of God should never make plans or conduct any business,               without the Lord? We often get confused by events around us.               Some things we’ll never understand; while others seem to fall               into place. We should never worry if we don’t understand everything               that happens. Instead, trust that God knows what He is doing. 
            Matthew               6:24-26 No man can serve                 two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the                 other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.                 Ye cannot serve God and mammon. [25] Therefore I say unto                 you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or                 what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall                 put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than                 raiment? [26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not,                 neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly                 Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?  [KJV] . . . Worry and doubt can cause                   ill effects on your health. God has promised to supply all                   our needs (Phil. 4:19).  
            Matthew 6:31-34 Therefore take no thought, saying,               What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal               shall we be clothed? [32] (For after all these things do the               Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have               need of all these things. [33] But seek ye first the kingdom               of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall               be added unto you. [34] Take therefore no thought for the               morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of               itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. [KJV]  
             
            Worry               can:  
            
              - (1)               damage your health, 
 
              - (2)               consume your thoughts, 
 
              - (3)               disrupt your ability, 
 
              - (4)               affect the way you treat others, and 
 
              - (5)                 decrease your faith in God. 
 
             
            Worry can immobilize               you, but concern moves you to action. Our Lord Jesus warns               His disciples about worry; it disquiets and distracts. Jesus               says we shouldn’t worry about the length of our life; but               let God lengthen or shorten it as He desires. We are in his               Hand, and there is no better place to be! We shouldn’t worry               about the comforts of this life; but let God make it bitter               or sweet as He pleases. Food and clothing God has promised,               so therefore we can expect them. Don’t worry about tomorrow,               for it may never come for you. If we seek first the Kingdom               of God, we will always be well provided for, even in this               world. By our daily prayers we receive strength to bear us               up under any daily troubles, and help us fight against the               temptations. Do NOT doubt God's love or concern for you.
