Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. – Matthew 21:21
Doubt. Diakrino. To waver. To try. To hesitate. To learn by discrimination. To withdraw from one. To separate one’s self in a hostile spirit. To be at variance with one’s self.
You already have faith. But you also have doubt, which is counteracting everything you’re believing for.
Doubt is blatant and doubt is subtle. It’s there like a single dandelion and it’s there like a thousand dandelions overrunning your garden.
It’s there as an anomaly as well as part of the furniture.
Doubt is a spiritual cancer that deserves to be eliminated with the same ruthless intolerance of a full regiment of chemo and radiotherapy.
Some kinds of doubt (unbelief) go out by prayer and fasting. (Mark 9:29) Others, perhaps by other means.
But whatever you do, do not doubt.
Don’t dig up in doubt what you planted in faith. – Elizabeth Elliott
Do not doubt yourself, for where doubt resides, confidence cannot. – Jim Rohn
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. – Anon
Doubt can only be removed by action. – Goethe
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit and think about it. Go out and get busy. – Dale Carnegie
Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we might oft win by fearing to attempt. – William Shakespeare
If you’re afraid, don’t do it. If you’re doing it, don’t be afraid. – Genghis Khan
When in doubt, don’t. – Benjamin Franklin
Do or do not. There is no try. – Yoda
