Not Doubting

Matthew 28:17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

In order to ascend to full maturity, you must deal with doubt at its root: the ego.  We are to be led by The Spirit, not by our mind.  Our mind is binary in nature.  It views everything with two fundamental options or opposites: up/down, in/out, yes/no.  Your mind will create a problem, then solve it.  Your mind would have you believe that the devil is as powerful as Jesus thus they are in an epic battle with ebb and flow of success and failure.  Your mind would have you believe that hell is forever.  Why?  It wants to control your actions.  It is contrary to the Spirit.

In the above passage, some disciples doubted the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  You would think that being there first hand would be plenty of assurance for them.  Their minds were working overtime.  They had difficulty in grasping Love.  Love has no opposites and the motive of Love defies the mind.  Love was the power behind the resurrection.

To be fully led by the Spirit requires that you be led by Love.  Jesus tells us the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth:

John 16:13  “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”

Paul understood this when he wrote:

Ephesians 4:13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

Unity of faith requires that we doubt not.

We should be speaking the truth in Love.

The result will be:

-A perfect man in the fullness of Christ

-No longer deceived by men

-Each joint supplies

-Full maturity

Your needs will be met when you align yourself with the Spirit, walk in faith and doubt not HIS Way:

Mark 11:22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

If you are walking in lack, you probably have an issue that needs resolution.  Seek Our Heavenly Father and doubt not.  HE rallies resources to meet the needs of those who are being fully led by the Spirit.  On the other hand, your mind would convince of some other reason outside of your “self”.  It will then work overtime to solve the wrong problem, leaving you in your current state of lack.  It would have you doubt Our Heavenly Father’s ability to deal with your situation.  Doubt, or doubt not… it is your choice.
