What is the cure

[ayin jade]

Im posting this question, so that we can all think about this for a bit. A little spiritual exercise. Im looking forward to seeing what everyone has to say on this subject.

What cure is there for someone living under a cloud of spiritual doubt? Scriptural references appreciated too.

(Just fyi, I do not doubt the Lord. lol, dont want anyone to think otherwise.)

Your question is vague.

If you say you believe yet doubt, you do not believe.

If you say you have faith and doubt, you do not have faith.

If you doubt your salvation, you do not know God.

As for a cure, I don't know. You can't make people believe. You can't say to someone, "here, read this and you'll have no more doubts". It doesn't work that way. Doubting comes from the heart and you or I can not change that. All we can do is point them in the right direction. The rest is up to them.

There is no room for doubt in a believer's life. If you doubt, then the fear of the Lord is not in you. If you do not fear the Lord, you will never understand.

As for scripture ref...Gen. 1:1 thru Rev. 22:21.

Hope this helped.

Well to me spiritual doubt can also be a lack of trust...you know the "human" affliction of thinking we can fix everything ourselves. Or on the other hand for example...When I was little I always believed in God...didn't even think about it really just took it for truth (mind you I hadn't accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior yet) After I accepted Him then I started to have "doubts" Praise the Lord I prayed everytime a "smidgen on doubt" came into my head. This is what I heard once...Satan doesn't bother you with doubts if your already lost (which I was before salvation) its when you accept Christ that he feels hes gotta get you back.

For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Cor 5:7

He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6

Spiritual doubt (in my case) disappeared through hearing and hearing, the word of God...or reading and reading the word of God, also praying for God to remove doubts and replace it with trust.

Hope I didn't misunderstand your question

We must remember though, that even when Jesus' apostle stepped out of the boat to meet Him on the water, he started to doubt and sank in the water...Jesus pulled him up, and spoke of "ye with little faith"....

we all start to sink at onetime or another but its good to know that He will pull us back up, all we need to do is call Him.

There are times when Istruggle with doubt. My wife tells me to get into the word. I find that I can usually bring myself back around with a basic belief. Fortunately I have always believed there was a God. Can or Does God want to communicate with His creation? I believe he can/does. Is He powerful enough to become a man? He made the universe didn't He? Does the teachings of Jesus make sense? Love, yes that makes sense. What are your options? No options.

Thank you Jesus

The cure is the TRUTH! When I begin to doubt anything God has said to me, I have to first of all recognize where that is coming from. Satan is the author of lies. He wants us to doubt. So, I do what Jesus did. I rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus Christ. I tell him to leave. And, I quote scripture back to him - the truth versus his lies. So, I need to know what the truth is and I need to know when I am believing the lies, which means I need to spend lots of time in prayer and in God's word. Then, when doubt comes, I can go back to God's word and read all of his wonderful promises and it helps to read them aloud. I can resist Satan and his lies and I can put on the truth of God found in his Word. This is the only cure I know for doubt.
