Doubt

Doubt is the opposite of faith. It is what satan uses to block us from our purpose. As we begin to do what God has called us to do, satan begins to get a little nervous. He starts pulling everything out of his hat to deter us from our purpose. He usually begins with placing doubt and fear in our minds. He may even use other people to try to discourage us. Since we walk in the light of truth we are able to see these snares that he tries to place in our way. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 1 John 2:10 (KJV) As we begin to take steps toward our calling instead of running from it, satan begins to set snares. He knows we will become a powerful weapon for God.. My cousin wrote a song and one of the verses says you need to get up and walk away from those that make you doubt your calling from God. That is so true. You don’t need anyone’s approval but the Lords. If God has called you to do something it doesn’t matter what others think. How do we know that God has called us? Well, my husband and I know what God has called us to do because of doubt. At first we doubted, questioned and ran from God’s will. Then we fasted and prayed about it. We studied the word and prayed some more. We are finally at perfect peace with what the Lord has called us to do. Does that mean we have no doubt? NO!! As I have said before our flesh is sinful. It will constantly wage war with our spirit. We take it’s power away by fasting and praying. Then it falls into submission with our spirit. I pray that each of us has the strength and courage for what lies ahead. I pray you get encouragement from reading my blog and it helps you to move toward your higher calling in life! Keep pressing toward your mark!!! I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:14 (KJV)
