Study Notes
Overcoming Doubt and Winning the Battle
- Trust in God: Doubt is not from you; trust God's plan, even when it feels like He's far away. God is with you.
- God's Plan: God's plan takes time; miracles aren't always instant, and challenges are part of His testing faith.
- Enemy's Tactics: The enemy uses doubt as a way to lose battles; trust in God despite doubts.
- Trust, Not Circumstances: Don't focus on circumstances; focus on God. Trust precedes seeing God's actions.
Countering Doubt
- Speak Truth to Lies: Identify lies filling your mind and replace them with truths about God's love and worth.
- Truth as God's Word: Truth is what God says. Example (lie: must perform well to be worthy. Truth: I'm already worthy, loved, and free to give my best).
- Practical Application: Write down lies and truths to combat internal doubts, especially when discouraged.
Encouragement and Faith
- Encouragement as Oxygen: Encouragement is vital for overcoming discouragement.
- Jesus' Example: Jesus spoke truth to lies in the wilderness, showing how to win battles. Adam and Eve didn't focus on what mattered most (relationship with God).
- Focus on Love and Relationships: Love (God, self, & others) is fundamental for overcoming distractions and unifying.
Overcoming Discouragement ("The Five D's")
- Distraction: Focus on God, self, and relationships.
