The Alpha of Dealing with Doubt

UV2990/10000 The Alpha of Dealing with Doubt
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 v 21

Faith starts as a small seed that is not very visible. The seed dies to itself and lives for the one who planted it and throws down roots that are not visible. Likewise, when we die to ourselves and live for the Lord, our Planter, the Alpha of faith or the root grows downward and becomes stronger and stronger but remains invisible to the human eye. Nothing stands in the way of the root. It pushes aside doubt like the root pushes aside stones or gravel to dig deeper and deeper into the soil. When the tree is full grown and bears the fruit of love and hope, the Omega of faith or the comprehensive and visible aspects and impact of faith are made visible to humanity.
We need to be hundred per cent certain, sincere and earnest of what and who we believe in. Being strong in faith implies that we do not consider the natural impediments or constraints even as Abraham did not consider that he and Sarah were too aged to bear a child, that the reproductive potential of their aged bodies was nil. They did not stagger at God’s promise out of doubt or unbelief but took the Lord at His word. We too should not hesitate or waver out of doubt in matters of our faith for if we do so we would be like the waves that are tossed about in all directions by the wind- a metaphor for the world. Our hearts and minds should be focussed, expectant, thankful and filled with awe and belief at the glory or greatness of God.
Faith bereft of doubt will enable us either to cross the mountain or solve the big problems and issues of life or tunnel through it or go around or under it. We can also command in the spirit and in faith and with God-given authority for the problem either not to appear or to disappear or fade away. We need to deal firmly and decisively with doubt even as Jesus rebuked satan by saying, “Get thee behind me. “ We need to put doubt regarding the existence of God, the power of God, the character of God, the grace of God behind us even as we advance towards Him and the kingdom of God. We need to believe as we pray, as we declare the truths of God that we have already received in the spirit or the fourth dimension that which we asked and we will receive in due course in the three dimensional natural world
