Dealing with Faith and doubt
Mark 11:21-23
Romans 10:17 - we can't just drum up faith whenever, it comes from hearing and knowing the word of God
James 1:5-8 -Doubt can have an impact
mark 9:14-29 - story of a man who brought son to be freed from demons.
mark 9:24 - we can have faith +unbelief at same time. the father says Lord I believe but help me with my unbelief.
Jesus says some spirits only come out with prayer and fasting. prayer and fasting doesn't change the name of Jesus or the power it has but it does connect us closer to the holy Spirit and help with our doubt.
doubt comes from our five senses. they could see the boy rolling around and foaming. they could hear the sounds. prayer and fasting help connect you to the holy Spirit so you see spiritual things rather than the physical.
fasting puts away the flesh
tarry- to spend time or to abide in the word and with prayer.
luke 22:34-46
operating in the spiritual gifts. when someone has a word or you yourself it helps take away that doubt
Renewing of the mind
Romans 2:12
We hear and see things everyday. our culture wants us to believe lies about ourself and other everyday, but God wants to renew our minds to his plan and how he sees people.
