Chat: You have doubts in your head, so you guess you’re not in faith.

I have some really good news for you!  You can still be healed even if you have doubts in your head – as long as they stay in your head and don’t come out of your MOUTH!

Jesus never said that not doubting in your HEAD was a condition of receiving – it was not doubting in your HEART.  There is a big difference!  Satan can try to mess around with your head, but he has no access to the born-again spirit that is the real you.  He has to go through your head or flesh to make any headway.  But as long as you REJECT his lies, you are still in faith!  Simply hearing those lies in your head does NOT mean that you aren’t in faith; it only means that Satan is trying to tempt you to get out of faith!

Having THOUGHTS of doubt is not DOUBTING any more than being TEMPTED to sin is SINNING!  It’s really the same thing – you are being tempted to doubt, but that doesn’t mean you’re actually doubting!

When they fought the Civil War in the United States, there was a big battle in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  But neither side considered Gettysburg to be its ultimate goal.  Both wanted what was beyond Gettysburg in the opposite direction.  Your mind is a Gettysburg of sorts.  Satan is not really after your mind, because if you just think wrong thoughts, but then reject them, he won’t make any headway at all.  His desired prize is what is beyond your mind – your human MOUTH!  He only wins if he can get your MOUTH to agree with him and disagree with what is written in God’s Word.  HE doesn’t have the ability to take your healing from you – but YOU do, by means of your mouth, and he knows that.  That’s why he tries to put so much pressure on you to SAY the wrong thing.

So as long as your mouth is still speaking what is written in God’s Word, just having wrong thoughts doesn’t mean that you’ve forfeited your healing.  In fact, you CAN’T avoid having wrong THOUGHTS – the devil had some wrong thoughts for Jesus, too!  You can avoid breathing life into them by refusing to speak in agreement with them, though.

It’s easy to tell whether you are doubting in your head or in your heart.  Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34).  Whatever you’re SAYING is what you really believe.  If doubts aren’t coming out of your MOUTH, they’re still only in your head and not in your heart, so they don’t disqualify you from enjoying the coming manifestation of your healing.
