Have you ever wondered how faith can transform your life, casting out doubt and bringing spiritual peace? In this episode, we promise to guide you through the profound journey of fortifying your faith and safeguarding your peace. Drawing from powerful biblical analogies and scriptures, particularly Mark 11:23, we explore how maintaining belief can prevent doubt from sneaking into our minds like unwanted guests. We'll uncover the secret to living a life unburdened by self-imposed limitations, embracing the freedom God intends for you.
Keep Out Doubt
Speaker 1So let's get started , let's pray , father . We thank you , lord , for your word . Your word is powerful , it is sharp . I thank you , father , that you didn't leave us as orphans to try to figure this out on our own , but you gave us the Holy Spirit . He is our comforter , our guide , and so we thank you , father , for all what you have done in our lives , lord . And so we thank you that we get to be on live stream , that we get to share the word and encourage one another in the word . And so we thank you , lord . We don't take it lightly , we don't take it for granted , lord . We thank you that our hearts are open to your word , father , and I thank you , lord , that the ones listening , father , that they'll receive fresh manna from heaven , lord . And so we just honor you and we thank you for all that you've done in our lives . In Jesus name , amen . Everybody said amen . You can type it Amen , um .
Speaker 1So just a quick message tonight , a couple of scriptures , um . Uh , if you're taking notes or you can type it out uh , the title of my message tonight is keep out doubt . Keep out doubt . Say no to doubt , keep it out . Uh , you know , at at home we have this , uh , keep it out . You know , at home we have this outdoor cat . His name is Fuego yes , we named him . He's kind of like the neighborhood cat and we feed him , us and the neighbor . We are kind to Kitty . He's good . He killed a couple of rats outside , so he's a good kitty . But we put out food for him . But lately we noticed that we also have a possum and so he likes kitties food . But I do not like possum possums .
Speaker 1So I always make sure you know we wouldn't , we don't , we don't allow those in our house . There are certain things , you know , maybe some people do , maybe it's sure you know we wouldn't , we don't , we don't allow those in our house . There are certain things you know , maybe some people do , maybe it's okay . You know , all kinds of people allow all kinds of things in their houses , but , um , wild animals should not be one , and so , um , so it just reminded me of how , uh , you know , we're , um , we should be keeping some things out of our house , and not only , you know , I'm not talking about , okay , yeah , the natural house , but our , our dwelling , our body , like in our mind . There are some things that shouldn't , that we need to keep out , and so they try to creep in , and so , um , we have to make sure to keep those out , and doubt is one of them .
Speaker 1Doubt comes to everybody , right , and we have to make sure to keep that out . And so Mark 11 , 23 in the New King James says For surely , I say to you , whoever says to this mountain , be removed and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart but believes those things he says will be done , he will have whatever he says . And it's a very familiar passage , right ? So in the NEB translation I wanted to read that to you guys . It says if anyone says to this mountain , be lifted from your place and hurled into the sea and has no inward doubts but believes that what he says is happening , it will be done for him . And so , yeah , of course , god does not want us to doubt . You know there's obstacles in our way . And so here the scripture is saying hey , you have to believe . Yes , we say Right , Very important , what we say to the mountain and what we do , believing , and so you can , and also , uh , so this , the other translation I like that it has no inward doubts , and so a lot of times we have these things , you know , creep up and they could be a partial doubt or kind of like an inward promise .
Speaker 1You know , maybe you've been hurt or , um , so-and-so happened . You know when your childhood this happened , you know a long time ago . And you make these inward . I call them , you know , just vows , inward promises . I'll never do that . Or you know I was hurt by so-and-so , so I'm never going to trust men , or I'm never going to trust , you know , a certain kind of , you know , person or whatever . And so we make these inward vows , but really they're doubt . You should take that word out of your vocabulary . I'll never , never , never know .
Speaker 1God is a God of possibility and wonder and love , and so he doesn't want us closed off , he doesn't want us making these inward , having these inward doubts . He wants us just free and open , um , untainted . And so we have to make sure to keep out doubt . And so when we experienced trouble , we have two options right . So we can either let doubt , fear and worry , you know , creep in , or we can call upon the name of the Lord , and so I would rather call upon the name of the Lord than doubt and everything . Doubt shouldn't be our go-to thing Fear shouldn't be our go-to thing . Worry shouldn't be the very first thing . Oh , I got you know like just freak out moments . No , we don't .
Speaker 1We have to make sure that we protect our peace . You know , God's given us this peace that passes all understanding , and so we have to make sure to guard it and and keep the door closed to the enemy . And so we have to protect our peace from from fear and worry and doubt . And so those things , they're like possums , they try to creep in , Right , they're like these rodents , they're like they can sneak on in and you may not know , you have one in your house . And so we have to make sure that we keep doubt out and that we protect peace um within us .
Speaker 1And so Romans 10 , 17 , and the new King James says this . So , then , faith comes by hearing , and hearing by the word of God . So faith comes as you gain knowledge of what God says in his word . If you don't ever read your Bible , if you don't ever pray we have then you have no knowledge of what he says . And so feeding on the word , meditating on the word , will cause us to grow stronger and to push doubt out . And so the the the more we feed , the more we act upon the word in our daily lives , our faith will grow . And so we have to make sure .
Speaker 1You know , a lot of times we have these questions and questions come up , or why this and why , why that and this and that , and so no , there are no questions in God's realm , they're just answers . He is the alpha and omega , the beginning and the end . There's not questioning this and question that and question this . No , no , no , right , we can't occupy our brain cells with questions . We have to make sure , right , when life offers you questions and worry and doubt , we look , we call upon the name of the Lord . We call upon the name of the Lord so we don't worry , we don't busy ourselves with questions , and life will offer you all kinds of things , and so it's up to you whether you take it . Life will offer you all kinds of things , and so we have to make sure that we do not we keep out doubt and we don't occupy ourselves with the questions and the would have's and the could have's and the should have's .
Speaker 1We have to make sure that our attention and our gaze is upon the word of God , and so we have to refuse to let those thoughts come in and like you can say I resist you . Like that it goes with Mark 11 , 23 . You say you speak to that mountain . And so when doubt comes , you speak to . I resist you doubt , I resist you worry , I resist you fear , I'm going to be calm , I'm going to be cool , I'm going to be collective , I'm not going to freak out , I resist you . And so God didn't , doesn't want his kids to be in a tizzy and to be all , um , you know , in the arena of , of doubting and anxiousness and worry . And so we have to make sure to keep out doubt .
Speaker 1And James one six in the new living translationlation says when you ask and be sure that your faith , ask in faith , you have to make sure that your loyalty to God is not divided , because then you're not loyal at all . You , you , oh well , god , I'm asking you , I'm believing God , you know , believing you for this , for the salvation of my family member . But really I know how they are and I really don't think that they're going to get saved , because I've been with them all my life and they're just . This is what they do and this is well . No , that's no .
Meekness Toward God
Speaker 1We have to make sure that our loyalty is not divided , that we stand firm on the word of God and that the words of our mouth line up with the word of God , with his word , line up with the word of God , with his word . And so because then we're um , and if you read the entire chapter , uh , you know so when you ask in faith , not doubting , so it's talking about being a double-minded man , unstable in all of his ways . In verse it goes on to say , in verse eight and so when you're unstable , when you're doubting , you're unstable in every area of your life . And so we want to make sure that we're not , that we keep doubt out and that we're not unstable in every area of our lives . James 4 , 7 in the New King James says therefore , submit to God , resist the devil and he will flee from you . And so keeping out doubt is really resisting the devil . It's resisting . To resist doubt is to resist the devil . And so we have , and he'll flee , so we have to make sure that that we're resisting him . James 121 says therefore , lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted , engrafted word which is able to save your souls . And so meekness towards God .
Speaker 1A lot of times we think , oh , it's like this personality thing , I'm meek , I'm humble . No , it's like this . So I'm meek , I'm humble . No , it's like this . So I looked it up Meekness towards God's . One of the definitions of meekness is the accepting of God's dealing with us as good and therefore we accept them without disputing or resisting . So it's , it's a meekness towards God . We're not going to resist , we're not going to dispute , we're not , uh , you know , uh , we're not going to be resistant to the word of God , we're not going to be unstable .
Speaker 1To not do the word of God is to resist it . It's a double-minded . So to , to , to read the word and not to do it , to look in the mirror and not to change is to resist it and therefore it's not , you're not walking in meekness . And so here we have to make sure that we're receiving with meekness the implanted , engrafted word which is able to save your souls . And so we have to make sure that we're quick , quick to submit to God's word , quick to obey , quick to believe it , quick . You know , nobody has to persuade you , nobody has to . You know , the Bible says that . I believe it . That settles it . We don't have to have a long conversation . I believe I don't . I may not see it in the natural , but we don't . I may not see it in the natural , but we don't . We're not of the natural , we're in this world , but we're not of this world , we're just passing on through . And so we have to make sure that we're operating in meekness to receive the word with meekness .
Speaker 1And um , one example , when I think of a meekness Abraham . So he , he had a characteristic of meekness towards God and his word . He was quick , he was quick to believe , he didn't resist . And so let's see Romans 4 , 20 and 21 in the New Living says Abraham never wavered in believing God's promise . He never wavered . In fact , his faith grew stronger and in this he brought glory to God . He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises . And so Abraham , here we see Abraham , he was strong in faith , giving glory to God . He was fully persuaded , he didn't let his mind talk him out of it , right . He was quick to believe , he wasn't skeptical , right ? And so we have to make sure that . You know , and I'm sure , thoughts came to him , but he didn't , he didn't pick those up , he didn't , he didn't , he didn't partake of those . Life offered him things and he didn't partake of those . He's like , no , I am not going to partake of that . The phone call came , he didn't pick up the phone . The text message came , he chose not to pick , not to respond .
Speaker 1And so we have to make sure to , uh , to be in the will of God , to keep out doubt . We have to protect , you know , I say I to say protect our peace . It's so flippant , but really it just requires a submitting to God daily and like , hey , lord , what , what in me ? How am I not protecting my peace ? What am I looking at ? What am I scrolling through online , that may be , you know , on Facebook or on social media . Hey , we have to keep , keep informed , but keep informed between a certain hour , and then you don't have to keep informed 24 , seven , put the phone away , put the computer away .
Speaker 1We have to make sure to protect our peace and dig into the word of God . And because sometimes doubt can creep up , and so life offers you all kinds of things , and so we have to make sure that what it's offering , like that , that it's that it go , doesn't go against the word of God . So we have to make sure to protect our peace . And so Abraham never wavered , believing in God's promise . And so , if Abraham never waver , hey , we can never waver , we , we don't have to waver , we don't have to sin . You can go life without sinning , you know , you can go through life strong and steadfast . Trials come , yes , tribulations come , yes . Is it tough ? Yes , but you can go through life without a shadow of a doubt that , hey , if God did it , if it is in this word , then it applies to me . His promises are yes and amen . And so we have to make sure , just like Abraham never wavered , his faith grew stronger and so , being fully convinced that what God was able to do , he was able , whatever his promises were for Abraham , he was able to accomplish it .
Defeating Doubt With Faith and Love
Speaker 1And so we have to make sure that we , that we're like Abraham , that we don't waver , that we don't doubt , that we keep out doubt . And um , so ingrat . So me receiving the word with meekness . And so it's spending time in the word , it's putting the word first place , right , it's this . It's this meekness , attitude of pursuing , of , of , of , uh , you know , uh , making sure we have peace . And so , the engrafted word with meekness , the engrafted word , so , as we receive the word into our minds and our spirits , uh , in our spirit . So we have to allow the word of God to dominate our thoughts and our actions . And so we have to renew Our mind , has to be renewed in the word of God . And so that's how we ran out doubt , again .
Speaker 1Doubt comes to all . Doubt comes to all , but we have to make sure that we agree with God's word and it's a benefit to us . And so a lot of times , you know , some people will say , oh , yeah , yeah , yeah , like you will . You know , you may be encouraging somebody , but oh , yeah , yeah , but , but but this , no , there is no . But this , you know , we have to make sure to be standing strong , uh , in the word of God and not allowing doubt into our hearts , because we don't want to be double minded in all our ways , we want to make sure that we're standing firm , that we're faith , that we're full of faith , um , and that we're , when we come to God , that we're not doubting , that we're , that we're , uh , you know , full of faith and growing in the word every day . And so we have to make sure that we keep out doubt .
Speaker 1And I put our minds are the gateway to our spirit , and our minds allow the word to flow or hinder the word from flowing into our spirit . So we have to make sure to renew our mind . Make sure to renew our mind . We're not going to let arguments or reasonings or you know anything in whatever this world has to offer . We're not going to allow those reasonings to come into our mind . We have to make sure to guard , to guard what comes into our mind . And so for the word of God to be engrafted , it has to reach beyond our intellect of God to be engrafted , it has to reach beyond our intellect , beyond the pie charts , beyond , um , you know , uh , what it , what it seems like beyond our intellect , and sink into our spirit . It has to really sink into our spirit . And so that just um takes time . You know , being in the word every day , praying much in the Holy Ghost , doing the word , doing First Corinthians 13 .
Speaker 1Love is patient , love is kind , making sure that we keep short accounts with one another , forgiving one another and so acting out the word of God , putting it into , into motion . And so I have just a couple of points how to keep doubt out . Number one I put stop it , stop yourself . So when fear of people , doubt situations or just fear comes around , stop it . You have to make sure to remember you . You hear that , you may hear a voice , you may . Just it's a thought , right , it's a thought that comes across and like no , in the name of Jesus , that thought was not for me , that's from the pit of hell , and so I say no to that . And so you have to put a stop to it . Keep it out , put a stop . You don't let it in .
Speaker 1And so , in second Timothy , one seven , god has not given you a spirit of fear , but a power of love and a sound mind , and so we have to get bold about that . We have to get bold about you know , very familiar , familiar God doesn't , hasn't given us the spirit of fear . But what does that look like ? I mean , you know , fear creeps in , anxiety creeps in , and so we have to make sure that we put a stop to it .
Speaker 1Romans 5 , 5 says now , hope does not disappoint , because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us . And so the first step hey , you know , in believing because the opposite of doubt is faith is believing 100 percent , totally , I'm all in , I'm sold out , I'm all in . I'm all in . I'm sold out , I'm all in . I'm going to believe whatever God said in his word , whatever promises he gave me , they are going to come to fruition . They are , they will be fulfilled . And so doubt will stop you and so . But you have to know how much you're loved and and how much the love of God has been poured out for us by the Holy Spirit who was given to us . And so we have the Holy Spirit within us .
Speaker 1And so you know , one of the greatest strategies of the enemy is sometimes , when people make poor choices , they just get in the cycle and like , oh well , god you know , which results in fear of being rejected by other people , and then I'm just well , might as well , I'm a loser anyways . Might as well , just keep on , keep at it and no like . Just stop where you have to be sold out to God . Do not let doubt in , do not let fear in , do not let those anxious thoughts in fear in , do not let those anxious thoughts in . You have to believe that God loves you , like , believe it , like I don't care if anybody else does , but I am thankful that God loves me , His love has been poured out for me and that is not going to be wasted . That is not going to be wasted . So God's love has been poured out for you . It will not be wasted . It will don't allow it to be wasted .
Speaker 1Don't allow the circumstances of this life to be greater than God's love that has been poured out for you . And a lot of times that's really without saying it , that's what people do . Oh , this thing is so much bigger than you , god , than the love that has been poured out , than the blood has been shed for me . This situation is way bigger , it's more important . We may not say that , but that's how we act , or that's how we can act , when we let doubt , doubt and fear in . So stop it .
Speaker 1We have to make sure that we don't allow uh situations and fear , um , and those voices to to have a say again . Life offers you all kinds of things , and so it's up to you whether you take that . Abraham did not . He was fully convinced that what God has promised him , it was able to come to pass , and so you had to be fully convinced . Before the storm , during the storm and then the aftermath , because there is aftermath sometimes , a lot of times , most of the time . But hey , you know what God is able . God is able , he is able to heal you , to heal your broken heart , to heal whatever has been has you know , maybe , in the past , or trust issues , or whatever it may be . You , um , god is able . We have to make sure to keep out doubt .
Speaker 1And number two is lean on God's strategies . Uh , proverbs 29 , 25 says the fear of man brings a snare , but whoever trust in the Lord shall be safe . And so , um , the word strategy describes a plan , method or series of maneuvers for obtaining a specific goal or result . It's also a military term defining the war techniques and planning and directing large operations . And so God is not behind the strategy of fear and doubt .
Speaker 1That . That is not him , that is the devil , that is the enemy . He is the author of all anxiety , despair , dismay , distress , doubt , dread , dread is not from God . When you dread something , it is not from God , it is not from fright , panic , suspicion . If somebody is always suspicious , the love of God is not operating in that , because the love of God first , corinthians 13, . If you read that every day , it'll drive all of that out . Terror , worry , and so all of that is , uh , that all comes from the enemy , those are strategies of the enemy , and so we have to make sure not to , you know , be confused . We have to make sure that , hey , god is not behind the strategy of fear and and all of these things that I just listed dread fright panic , he is not behind that that I just listed . Dread , fright panic , he is not behind that . And so , um , we have to make sure who we are , know who we are .
Speaker 1Righteousness you know I'm not teaching on that , but it's uh , I wrote it down right Standing with God , um , you know , and the Holy spirit's inside of you . Isaiah 54 , 14 in righteousness you shall be established , you will be established in righteousness , not in double mindedness . The scripture does not say that in double mindedness you will be established . You are not established in double mindedness . You have to make sure that we , we , we are in right standing with God , the Holy Spirit is inside of us , and so our actions should line up with the word of God . We're in right standing with God .
Speaker 1And so here in Isaiah it says in righteousness you shall be established . You shall be far from oppression , for you shall not fear , and from terror , for it shall not come near you . It shall not come near you . It shall not come near me , and so that's a good , that'd be a great confession to make . That's a great scripture . Hey , I am not . I am not fearful , I am not terrorized . It is far from me . Impression and anxiety are far from me . They will not come near me , and so we have to make sure that we're speaking the word of God . We have to make sure that our words line up with his word , and so that's the strategy of God .
Speaker 1We have to make sure that we lean on his strategy , on God's strategies . And so he's conquered , he overcame it all , and so we have to make sure that we're right , standing with God . You know , the devil wants you in fear . The enemy wants you anxious . The enemy wants you down here . Uh , the enemy wants to keep your mouth closed . The enemy wants you know . Oh , I'm just shy , I can't talk to that person . No , that's the enemy , that's fear , that's fear . We have to make sure that we're not operating in fear . Oh well , how am I going to sound like ? And what am I going to look like ? Well , it doesn't really matter , because we're just vessels being used by him . We have to make sure that you know we're not , that's just all . That's the strategy of the enemy . And we know the strategies of the enemy and so we know what they lead to . And so we have to make sure that that we lean on God's strategies . And God is very strategic . He is very strategic . His strategies are love , joy , peace . And so we have to all the fruit of the spirit , that is , those are his strategies . So we have to all the fruit of the spirit , that is , those are his strategies .
Speaker 1First , john 4 , 17 and 18 says love has been perfected among us in this , that we may have boldness in the day of judgment . Because , as he is , so are we in this world . There is no fear in love , but perfect love cast out fear , because fear involves torment . And so God is not the author of fear and confusion , he is the author of righteousness , love , joy , wisdom , long suffering . And so we have victory . You have victory over the storm . Whatever you're facing , you have victory . God loves you . He has a plan for you .
Speaker 1If you've never made Jesus the Lord of , I know we just have our GWC , but if somebody watches this later on if you've never made Jesus the Lord of your life , you know the uh in the word Romans . It says if you can . It's just a simple prayer If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus died for you , you'll be saved . And it's just a , a prayer , a consecrated prayer of hey , not my will , but your will be done . I can't do this on my own . Lord , um , he has a plan for for your life , and so , again , we have to lean on God's strategies , because his strategies , um , are the ones that are going to put us over , are the ones you guys are
Daily Faith-Filled Living
Speaker 1overcomers .
Speaker 1You , you're victorious , but sometimes , I know , you know , in the thick of things , sometimes we can get lost , or sometimes we have , we're tempted to doubt or fear or or all of these questions of you know , maybe even the future , all of these questions , and you know maybe even the future , all of these questions . And it doesn't mean that you stick your head in the sand and don't and ignore everything and ignore your responsibilities . That's not what I'm talking about . I'm just saying we have to make sure that we don't allow doubt and fear and those anxious thoughts about next steps or the future , that we don't allow those thoughts to creep in , and make sure that you know that , that they don't go against the word of God , that we have to make sure to guard our heart .
Speaker 1And then number three is exercise your faith every day . And so Hebrews 10 , 38 says the just shall live by faith , the just shall live by faith . And so we live by faith . It's not just Sunday morning at 10 am , we live by faith , it's an everyday thing . It's an everyday thing that we live by faith . Second Corinthians , 4.16 , says therefore , we do not lose heart , even though our outward man is perishing , yet the inward man is being renewed , day by day , day by day . And so every day we must walk by faith . Every day we must think faith thoughts . Every day we must speak faith words . Every day we must exercise our authority over the enemy .
Speaker 1And so every day we have to exercise our faith . Every day we have to make sure that we are dressed in in in the armor of God , that that , uh , you know , our weapons are not carnal , but they're mighty through God . And so sometimes , uh , you know , we can allow our old man to to . You know , we shouldn't allow our old man , he's , he's in the grave , he's , he's , he's buried . We , we have , we're , we're new creatures in Christ , and so all things are new , and so we have to make sure that we're walking by faith . There are words , or faith filled words , that are actions , or faith filled actions , that are thoughts , or faith filled thoughts that are thoughts , or faith filled thoughts . We can't just allow any thought to come into our mind , um , you know , or it will destroy us . We have to make sure it's an , it's a daily surrender , it's a daily um , it's a daily uh , making sure , uh , that doubt doesn't creep in , that fear doesn't creep in , that anxiety doesn't creep in , that we shut the door on that and we say , no , you're not going to creep in .
Speaker 1You know , I was reading about blind Bartimaeus . You know Jesus healed him , but , hey , he could have been like , well , I'm going to put those old clothes back on and I'm . You know , no , he was a brand new , he was healed . He was , you know , the lady , uh , uh , issue with the blood . She had an issue with the blood , she , she was bleeding and she , if I could just get to Jesus , if I could just get to him , you know . And so there's this Jesus , if I could just get to him , you know . And so there's this .
Speaker 1There's this , uh , perseverance . There's this um hey , if I could just get to Jesus , if I can just get to the word , if I'm just when I'm hungry for the word . I need the word , I need to read the word , I need to be in the word , and so it all comes from a hunger after the word . And so I just want to encourage you to hunger after the word , hunger after the one who created you . Who else created you ? God created you for such a time as this . And so don't get bogged down in worry , don't get bogged down in doubt , don't get bogged down in defeat . You are not defeated , you are righteous .
Speaker 1We have to make sure that when we do experience trouble , you know it comes to all of us that we protect our peace , that we protect our peace , the peace that passes all understanding . And so that goes with protecting protecting what we hear , protecting what we see , protecting our thoughts . And so nobody else can do it but you . You can't make your husband , you can't make your wife , you can't make your kids . You can encourage , you can pray , you can lift everybody up , but it is an individual thing . You have to protect your peace , and so that's how we keep out doubt by protecting our peace , by meditating on the word , by making sure we read the word , that we're , we're , we're filled up with the word . You know , faith comes by going back to the very beginning , go . Faith comes by hearing , and hearing by the word of God . And so faith comes when you gain knowledge of the word of God .
