Listen

"But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil.” Proverbs 1.33

Listening means to obey. When we obey God's Word, faith is pure and does not allow room for doubts or fears of evil. That's a fact. Difficult is to use faith to obey. Difficult is to sacrifice the desires of the flesh. But who said that the road to salvation would be easy?

Who is who

"But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His." Romans 8.9

In my view, this is one of the most incisive biblical statements. It does not leave room to doubts or discussion. Those who have been possessed by the Spirit of God are so different from those who have not, just as the difference between wine and milk. The behavior of each one bears witness to who is who.

Dead faith

 "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." James 2.26

The text leaves no doubt: faith without works is dead, hopeless. And what has been impeding people from taking actions of faith?
The feelings of their hearts.
These feelings are hindering people from the sacrifice that brings results.

THE MAN WHO CRIED OUT

"This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles."     Psalm 34.6

Faith doesn't always attain answers because it may be contaminated with everyday doubts. However, when in distress, when the soul is in complete affliction, pure faith manifests itself and obtains answers. 

LIKE A WAVE OF THE SEA

"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind."    James 1.6

Just like a ray of light breaks through the darkness, faith does the same with doubts. But that does not mean that doubt will give up. Persevering in believing what is written in the Word of God is the only way to get rid of your doubts. 

Evil thoughts

The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. Proverbs 12.5

The right thoughts are the thoughts of faith, in the thoughts of God.
In order to overcome evil thoughts all one needs to do is confess, speak, recite, exercise the thoughts of God.
That means exercise faith.
How many times? As many times as needed!

Doubting?

"...for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." James 1.6

The waves of the sea are always coming and going. They're inconsistent. Do you know who promotes doubts? The devil. Do you know who accepts them? Those who are like the waves of the sea.


Those who resist doubts also resist the devil and hell.

Joy and Rejoicing of the heart

"Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts." Jeremiah 15:16

When the human being drinks of the Word of God, his spirit resists the thoughts of doubts. And he overcomes himself, and above all, the devil.
