There is a battle in the spirit of most people when it comes to faith. They either have it or they don’t, at least that is what they think or believe. It seems as though belief is fully correct if you don’t have faith and live in doubt or it is completely incorrect if you have a God-like faith. Let’s be transparent, we, the body of Christ, have the measure of faith, so there should be no one that believes that they are without faith. Unfortunately, there are too many Christians that believe just that.

Let’s look at a few scriptures that enforce faith as a powerful principle of God. Hebrews 11:1-6 says “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:1-6 KJV) In that portion of God’s Word, we find two important faith statements. One, that faith is the substance of things hoped for but not seen. And two, it is impossible to please God without faith. Those two statements fly in the face of allowing doubt to set in.

Another scripture that supports what I am calling this God-like faith movement is found in Mathew 21:21-22. It reads “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. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” (Mathew 21:21-22 KJV) This scripture also shares an important factor about faith. To use the power that comes with faith, you cannot let doubt set in or even show up.
Say to yourself I have supernatural faith and I will not doubt.

In several scriptures, Jesus tells us the disciples that you cannot have faith and doubt fill the same space. Doubt is a strong faith destroyer. “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” (Mark 11:22-23 KJV) Another scripture that shares the desire for us to live without the concept of doubt is where Jesus walked on the water and Peter went out after Him. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?” (Mathew 14:27- 31 KJV) As you can see there, Jesus asked Peter where did he doubt. We already know and Peter did too. It is when he began to sink, it is the reason he sank. Don’t let doubt cause you to sink. Stand in faith, my brothers and sisters. Stand!
