I for one have witnessed amazing things. My hands were healed when I was young, I have seen manafestations that are quite real and also seen "God hating" friends come around and give their lives. You would think my faith is unshakable. You would be so wrong. Often we have proof and still we doubt (to a degree). Why do you think this is?

Its like a great friend that has never let you down but when things look like they are turning against you you question him. I guess I just dont want to hurt God.

Guest lnj Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Look at Peter. He sat at the Master's Feet and yet he denied Christ. He saw Moses , and Elijah talking with Jesus and yet he denied Christ. He walked on water too... Don't feel so guilty. We always doubt a little..it's human nature. Ask and ye shall receive. Talk to God about this and see what He does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romans 8:1 G-d is mightier than your humanity. Also, this is what agape love is all about: G-d loves whether or not you return that love in kind; you can't do anything to make Him love you less or make Him love you more!

"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." (2 Corinthians 7:10) Love, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find lately that when I start doubting.... it's a sure sign I'm on the right track... How's that?! Doubting feels very much like satan's work. Why would satan bother with me unless I was on the right path? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm eyeing within your post is the phrase, 'He will come through?' The reason why is because God doesn't always come through the way we want or expect Him to so in that sense He doesn't 'come through' but He is always in control.
