You must not Doubt what you Say
When you Decree your Miracles
Mark 11:23
Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and DOES NOT DOUBT IN THEIR HEART but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.
From this verse, we find that when you say to the mountain, when you make a decree or declaration, God will do it for you.
However, there is one condition: You must not doubt in your heart (Mark 11:23-24).
If we doubt in our heart that what we say will happen, then our miracle cannot manifest.
If you doubt, you are called double-minded and unstable.
You will not receive your miracle.
JAMES 1:6-8
6 But when you ask, you must believe and NOT DOUBT, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
1. We doubt God when we say, "Why has God not answered my prayer?"
This is the most common form of doubt.
Other similar questions of doubt are:
"Why has God not healed me?"
"Why is God not blessing me with a job after all these months?
"Why does God not want to change my husband's behaviour?
"Why is my wife still so selfish and mean to me?"
Such believers doubt God's word in Mark 11:24, where God says that your miracle has come the very moment you asked God for it.
MARK 11:24 ESV
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you HAVE RECEIVED IT, and it will be yours.
The very first time you prayed, God has answered your prayer.
Your miracle has come.
You must believe it, even though you may not see it or feel it.
You must declare constantly,
"By the wounds of Jesus, I have been healed.
"God has blessed me with a good job and good bosses and good colleagues.
"God has given me a good husband.
"God has given me a good wife.
Therefore, we must not be double-minded.
You must not doubt Mark 11:24.
2. We doubt because we do not believe that God's power is greater than that of the devil
JEREMIAH 32:27
27 "I am Yehovah, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?
MATTHEW 19:26
26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
When we believe that the power of the devil is greater than that of God, we will speak words of doubt.
These words are doubt are as follows:
I am under attack by a man who went to Thailand temple to put a curse on me; that is why I am still suffering from business failure."
"My specialist doctor says this sickness is and incurable; that is why I am still sick."
"My husband has been selfish all his life, no one can change him."
If we believe that the power of mediums and bomohs is stronger than that of God, we will speak words of doubt.
If we believe in the words or man or doctors, we will speak words of doubt.
But if we believe that with God all things are possible, we will say.
"No weapon, no charm, no curse, formed against me will succeed."
"By the wounds of Jesus I am healed."
"My husband is a good man, a mighty man of God."
3. We doubt God's word when we say, "I need more people to pray with me, to get my miracle from God."
Such believers think that God will release His miracles only when we have a large number of people to pray with us.
But God's word says that God will answer if only one or two persons pray in faith in His promises.
EZEKIEL 22:30 NAS
30 "I searched for A MAN among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.
MATTHEW 18:19
19 "Again, truly I tell you that if TWO OF YOU on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
4. We doubt God when we say, "I am not good enough, I am a great sinner, and God will not hear my prayer."
Such a believer speaks words of doubt based on wrong thinking about the forgiveness of sins.
He feels that God cannot forgive him his great sins.
He feels condemned by His past sins and fears that God will thwerefore never answer His prayers.
But God has promised:
ISAIAH 1:18 ESV
18 “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
1 JOHN 1:9
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
We must believe that God has forgiven us all our sins as soon as we ask Him, no matter how great our sins are.
Then we will not feel condemned and speak words of doubt.
But we will declare:
" God has forgiven all my sins.
"In Christ Jesus, I stand righteous before God today, without any blemish or sin.
"And God has answered all my prayers."
5. We doubt God when we think that He does not love us as much as He loves others
We will say, "God does not answer my prayers, because I am not special to Him. Others seem to get their miracles all the time because God loves them more."
That is a lie, God has no favourites.
God loves each of us as much as He loves Jesus His Son.
JOHN 17:23
23 I in them and you in me--so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them EVEN AS you have loved me.
Acts 10:34
34 Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism.
When we believe wrongly that God loves others more than he loves us, then we will never be certain that God has given us his miracles.
We will then speak words of doubt.
Instead, we must always declare:
"God has no favourites.
He loves each of His children as much as He loves His Son Jesus.
He loves me and he has answered my prayers."
Therefore never doubt God's word in your heart when you pray to Him.
Believe that He has answered all your prayers instantly when you pray, believe that he will do what you say and declare and decree.
To God be the glory.
A TESTIMONY
GOD TURNED AROUND MY COLLEAGUE'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME
Sister CY:
"I had a colleague [Colleague A] that used to pass down some of her jobs to me even though we had the same seniority.
This scenario became more and more severe until at one point, I just confronted her and said, “Can you take back your job this time?”
However, she was quite unhappy and said that she has quite a lot of work to do, so can’t I just help her out?
I went back to my room very disappointed and told my other colleague [Colleague B] about the incident.
This colleague had quite expected the outcome and she asked me to give up on the Colleague A.
However, I told my Colleague B that although we humans may have no way out, God always will provide a way.
I told her that I am going to pray over this matter and ask God to change her and speak to her.
My friend just smiled at me and said to me, “It is impossible lah!”
That night, I just said a simple prayer to our Abba Father, “God, only You can change her; speak to her, let her know her own responsibility and let Your justice prevail in our office.”
I believe that God has given me my answer and I thanked the Lord for it.
The next day, while driving to office, I keep on declaring that “In Jesus name, I have good colleagues!” many many times.
That day, our department had a meeting that was supposed to be handled by my first colleague [Colleague A].
As usual, her meeting became my meeting and I had to handle it, including setting up meeting rooms, writing minutes, etc.
However, just right before the meeting started, my first colleague suddenly came to me and said “CY, let me write the minutes”.
She apologized to me for what she had done to me and took back most of her job.
At lunch time, she even told my second colleague [Collegue B] that she felt sorry for her attitude towards me, and rearranged her time-table with my colleague so that I no longer needed to handle her tasks.
Praise the Lord!
I never expected God to answer my prayer so quickly!
Our God is a mighty wonderful Abba Father!!!
Glory!!!
Hallelujah!!!

COMMENTS (Brother Andrew)
1. Pray short prayers.
In this testimony, a short prayer was all that was offered to God.
God is not deaf, and knows what we need even before we ask Him.
(Matthew 6:7-8)
2. Always believe that God has answered your prayer the very moment you prayed (Mark 11:24).
3. Therefore begin to declare and decree the blessing you have asked God for.
E.g. , "God has given me good colleagues," as in the testimony above.
4. If we do not believe our prayer has been answered, and we do not decree the miracle, then we will not see the miracle manifesting (Mark 11:23).
If you doubt and speak words of doubt, no miracle will manifest.
5. Keep on decreeing until you see the miracle with your eyes.
In this testimony, the miracle manifested the very next day after prayer and decreeing the miracle.
6. However, even if the miracle is not manifested instantly, God will manifest it at the right time.
Meanwhile, during the time when the miracle has still not manifested, God wants you to develop the gift of patience and perseverance, and not give up decreeing His blessings over yourself and over others.
Shalom
