OVERCOMING DOUBTS AND UNCERTAINTY

October 9

y child do you believe that you are saved? Do you base this belief on feelings, or do you base it on my promise to you that if you will “confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved?” (Romans 10:9) Do you have trouble with doubts? You must not be passive and allow these thoughts to rule you. You must rule them! Fight back! Say, “No, I will not accept doubts and thoughts which attack God’s precious promises to me!” Do you love your Father? Yes, of course you do! Don’t allow the Evil One to talk you out of your peace and safety in the great and precious promises given to you through my word. Fight back! Quote my word as one wields a mighty sword. Bring the word to mind and speak it out loud if necessary. You will win this and every battle which comes your way. You will win because I promised you that “I will be with you always, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee (give you up to your enemies), not till the end of the age.” (Mathew 28:20) It seems that amid an attack the devil is so large and threatening. Stop! Think! Where am I your Father while the enemy is attacking you hot and heavy? Look around, call my name! I am never very far away from you at any time! You have just despaired in the face of the enemy. Remember, I will keep you in “perfect peace” if your mind is “stayed on me!” (Isaiah 26:3) Again, call my name, say “Lord Jesus I will not accept nor believe this devil’s lie. You have called me out of darkness and into your light. I will put my trust in you right now!” Then I will sing and praise and offer thanksgiving for my power to save you, deliver you and give you the assurance that your name is written for certain in the Lamb’s Book of Life. It is written there, you know. I am looking at it! It is written in the blood of the Lord Jesus! Be happy! Be strong! What kind of God would I be to you if I could not save and keep you safe in my love and power? I called on someone to go to the earth to save my people, and the Lord Jesus, the Christ agreed to go and shed His precious blood for you. This is sacred to me. I am powerfully at work night and day to make certain that your salvation is not a passing thing. You are saved! You will make it to heaven! Encourage yourself in the Lord and have a great day!

Prayer

Father, I praise you that your power to keep me in peace and in a state of true salvation is ten thousand times greater than the power of the enemy to steal it from me! Hallelujah! When I get to heaven, I am going to fall at your lovely pierced feet and worship you for loving me and caring for me and my loved ones during this difficult life on earth. Now Lord, help me to be a powerful encouragement to others who struggle with doubts and fears! I will always carefully give you the praise and the glory, because you truly deserve it! In the great name of the Lord Jesus, amen!
