Yes You Can!

Doubt is an insidious little character. It capitalizes on every single opportunity it is awarded to eat away at dreams, hopes, and visions. If allowed, it will tear down the most remarkable of promises leaving nothing left to build on.


If you can think of it, Doubt can crush it. It's up to you to keep a steady watch and break the power of Doubt at every turn. Entertaining even the smallest question it offers can send you spiraling down a path that ends in unfulfillment.

Even Jesus had to go and exercise his mental strength against the powers of doubt when he was tempted in the wilderness. Jesus knew that there was no way that he could work miracles, cast out demons, and heal the sick if there was any doubt in his mind. He also knew that he could not preach with strong authority if Doubt felt comfortable enough to whisper lies into his ear.

How much power does Doubt have over you? Does Doubt feel comfortable enough to take up residence in your mind? How do you handle Doubt when it does try to whisper in your ear?

The word of God says that we have to strengthen our minds and seriously set up roadblocks to the onslaught of Doubt. From the way we live our lives, the words that come out of our mouths, to the thoughts that we entertain, we have to stay in faith and vigilantly, actively keep Doubt at bay.

Remember what the Word says: You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you! (Philippians 4:13) If you don't see how you can do it, that's okay. It's Christ's strength that's going to make it happen, so stop doubting. Believe that it's going to happen!

Verse of the Day: Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ... 1 Peter 1:13
