FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God demands faith and no doubt.

Matthew 14:22-36

What is holding one down not to experience the hand of God?
Doubt is not of God but an attempt to deny the hand of God in the doubtful life.
Do you believe or doubt that the Gift of God is here, not that He is coming?
Jesus, the gift of God, testifies, “…I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.” 
Jesus is here to give life abundantly where doubt should not have a place.
It is the doubtful one that will be denied not to experience the Gift of God.
Jesus said, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? (Luke 24:38) 
With doubt, faith will drown.
Jesus encourages all, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. (John 14:1)
Faith is what pleases God. 
Faith is a key to ask, to receive from God. 
Are you a believer in faith? 
When believers operate faith like a floating balloon, doubt can deflate the balloon to become grounded. 
The word of God demands faith and no doubt. 
James 1:6 bolstered against doubt, “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.”
Once, the disciples of Jesus were on a journey on the water ahead of Jesus. 
While the disciples were in the middle of the journey on the sea, the boat experienced waves. 
Jesus could not abandon His disciples when He walked on the waves of the water. 
When Peter saw Jesus, he asked to walk like Jesus on the water. 
Jesus called Peter to walk, and the story of Peter changed because of faith. 
The Bible records, “So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” (Matthew 14:29-30) 
Jesus was not a stranger to miracles, but Peter became an estranged disciple of Jesus to miracles of Jesus. 
With belief, there should be no room for doubt.
No one should believe in God and give self to doubt.
Peter should not give himself to doubt in the place for faith. 
Just as Peter was sinking instead of walking on his troubled water, Jesus reacted, “And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.” (Matthew 14:31-32)
The doubt of Peter caused his faith to sink into the troubled water.
Are you experiencing or seeing troubled water ahead of your journey? 
For deliverance, see that the hand of God is not short to extend deliverance miracle.

Prayer for today: Ask God for deliverance from the spirit of doubt.
