In this bonus episode, we continue our journey through Joyce Meyer's "Battlefield of the Mind," focusing on Chapter 11: A Doubtful and Unbelieving Mind.
Joyce Meyer starts by defining doubt as standing in two ways, implying uncertainty and wavering between hope and fear. She distinguishes doubt as a tactic of the enemy to lead us into disobedience, whereas unbelief is outright disobedience. This distinction is crucial because it shows us that doubt is an attack on our faith, and we have the power to correct it and realign ourselves with God's promises.
Meyer shares a powerful story of a man battling sickness, who, despite intermittent attacks of doubt, continued to confess healing scriptures. God revealed to him the spiritual battle behind his doubts, showing him that each time he confessed the word, the enemy retreated. This illustrates that doubt is not from God but is planted by the enemy to negate our faith.
Personal anecdotes and strategies are shared, emphasizing the importance of knowing and speaking God's word to combat doubt. Practical steps are provided, such as memorizing scriptures, studying the Bible in context, and writing out prayers of authority incorporating the word.
The episode concludes with a reflection on the faith of Abraham, who, against all odds, believed God's promise of many descendants. Like Abraham, we're encouraged to be fully convinced that God will do what He promises, regardless of how circumstances appear.
