The natural mind will always doubt spiritual realities. We are born deaf, dumb and blind when it comes to the things of God, and spiritual realities.John the baptist doubted that Jesus was the messiah when his circumstances looked bleak. Jesus did not counsel him to simply dismiss or rebuke his doubts but gave him reason to believe by talking about the miracles. Thomas doubted that Jesus rose from the dead. He was not encouraged to simply deny or dismiss or rebuke his natural reaction to seemingly impossible events. Jesus provided evidence to convince him that He rose from the dead. We must be fully convinced in our minds!!
God is reasonable. He would not ask us to simply believe with out adequate reason. That is have blind, blind, blind, get it blind faith. Sadly, many peaple preach blind faith. Faith comes by hearing. By hearing.
Like I said, we are born deaf, dumb, and blind. We need our deafness healed so that we can hear from God. Faith comes from hearing. Hearing comes from the Word of God. The Word of God heals our deafness so that we can hear and believe. When we hear from God... Faith is automatic. We cant work it up, pray it up , confess it up. We simply need to hear from God.
Abraham believed God. He had to hear from Him first. Has God spoken to you? Has God spoken to YOU? The woman with the issue of blood, knew that if she would touch the hemb of His garment she would be healded. How did she know that? God must have told her so. She simply believed what God told her. So, do you believe what God has spoken to YOU, though His Word? I hope this helps.
Gods Word is truth and at the entrance of His word we have life. Yes, we may doubt at times, but we can encourage ourselves and one another in the Lord. We need to see with our new spriritual eyes and not our natural. This is spoken with all due respect to the Texan. God Bless
