How Can I Tell If Doubt Is in My Heart or Just in My Head?
Jesus said that a mountain would move if you speak to it believing that it will move and you don’t doubt it in your heart (Mark 11:23). He didn’t say that doubt IN YOUR HEAD would stop your faith from working. It won’t – Satan may try to whisper thoughts of doubt at your head even though you don’t have doubts in your heart. His thoughts don’t count. Nor do the thoughts of your un-reborn flesh. Your flesh has never had a spiritual thought. But you can keep your flesh under and ignore its pleadings.
So it’s important to know how to tell if doubt has lodged in your heart or if it’s just a matter of thoughts in your head coming from your flesh or from the devil.
It’s as easy as 1-2-3-4. Matthew 1-2-3-4, that is. Jesus said in Matthew 12:34 that “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” If you’re giving VOICE to your doubt, it is coming from your heart and it will override your faith. If you aren’t SAYING that you doubt something, that doubt is only in your head and not in your heart, and it will not override your faith.
