Doubts come in all forms, attacking the mind of believers in Christ constantly. Doubting salvation, the existence of God, God’s omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence is something that has gone through every Christians’ mind at one time or another. One tiny idea planted in the mind can sprout into vicious deception constantly attacking our soul as we cling to it as tight as we can. For instance, a young guy in high school who loves the Lord, hears a classmate saying how the Bible is a bunch of fairytales. Instantly, he entertains that thought as though it could have a degree of truth in it. The kid who said it is pretty smart after-all, his GPA is off the charts! He must know what he’s talking about! The seed planted in his mind receives all the nutrients it needs from his flesh kicking in providing the essential fear, desire for control, and doubt. Now, instead of walking confidently in the Lord, the young man is constantly downcast feeling broken and lost even though he has already been made complete in Christ alone.
Isn’t it funny that so often we think doubts are more rational and real then Jesus? A theory taught as fact in public schools gets kids thinking that evolution makes perfect sense so where does that leave what they have learned about Jesus? Why is it that this doubt thing keeps slithering its way in and we can be completely unaware?
The devil loves to get us to doubt. It’s how he gets us to take off the armor of God! He whispers in our ears and we listen! Well it’s time to stop listening to that liar, and listen to our Father.

“I write to you dear children because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. I write to you, fathers because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.” 1 John 2: 12-14

Whatever doubts come, there is an instant answer. Prayer. Pouring out everything you got to him is what he wants! The bottom line is we have a choice! Doubt or Trust. Doubting really isn’t much fun, and trusting in God? Well, it’s what we are all designed to do. Clothe yourself in who you are in Jesus Christ today! Be built on him alone, rooted and see growth like a weed.

In Christ, you have overcome the evil one and he can’t touch you. No doubt can change that. Instead of doubting our God, it’s time to start questioning our doubts.
