When You Doubt God
I believe doubting God is the highest form of temptation because He is your source of everything as a Christian, and now you are not sure about this good source you relied on many times. When I sin, I can come to the Lord and ask Him to forgive me, deliver me, and heal me. But when I doubt Him, I may struggle to come to Him for help. I have succeeded many times while in doubt to come to the Lord's presence and commune with Him until He restores my faith in His goodness once again, but often when I doubt, I feel disconnected, unable to approach Him! It depends on the level of spiritual warfare at that moment, I believe. Can you relate to this?
We remember together that doubting God's goodness and authority severed our relationship with Him and took us out of the garden of life, blessings, and calling. It was when Satan asked Eve: “Did God really say?”
Doubt is a powerful form of warfare, do not underestimate it. Jesus Christ was tempted by the devil with the “If you are” statements and He conquered them by the power of the Holy Spirit, and you can too. Once again, you may do this and that and still come to the Lord for repentance, correction, and prayer, but what if you are now doubting your source? Can you see it with me? Are you going through tough times of questioning the Lord and His promises? Are you coming into a subtle agreement with the enemy's doubtful statements? God is not angry at you or me, yet He delights when we trust Him fully, but He knows it is a journey and He is with us and for us.
I break the presence of doubt in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and I curse the root, the landing strip, the foothold, the space, the opening, the question, the experience, the seeds, or whatever it was that made you come under doubting the goodness and the loving-kindness of the Lord for you. Amen!
If you want to doubt the Lord, doubt in His presence, do it with Him, be real, and ask your questions, but don't cut away the source because at the end of the day, it is only God that you have and you don't want to lose that. God is not intimidated by your doubts or questions.
Come before Him and conquer this temptation of doubt in His power because everyone may go through it.
Glory to God
