The Strange Ways Doubt Could Be Blocking Jesus’s Breakthroughs in Your Life!
Welcome, friend and faithful blog reader, today, we embark on a journey together—a journey into the heart of our faith, the essence of our belief, and the power of what Jesus can do when we allow Him to work in our lives. Faith is not just a concept; it’s the bedrock of our relationship with Christ. It’s the difference between living a life of mere existence and stepping into the fullness of what God has planned for us.
So, let us ask you, “Are you of so little faith?” Could it be that disbelief and doubt are the barriers holding back the breakthroughs Jesus wants to bring in your life? When you have been praying, giving, doing, asking, seeking, knocking and waiting and you are still stuck, not seeing breakthroughs, or discouraged by life’s circumstances, oftentimes there is an invisible enemy that is hiding in the shadows preventing Jesus’s breakthroughs from showing up in your life! Could the block be “doubt”? Or perhaps something else?
### The Blockade of Doubt
Doubt is like a wall, a formidable barrier between us and the divine breakthroughs Jesus is ready to unleash in our lives. It’s not just a small obstacle; it’s a blockade that hampers our spiritual progress. When we doubt, we’re essentially telling Jesus, “I don’t trust you enough to believe that you can work wonders in my life.” This disbelief doesn’t just hurt; it hinders. It blocks the flow of miracles, the same miracles that could transform our lives from the inside out.
### The Consequences of a Doubting Heart
When we doubt, we’re not in a position to receive the fullness of what Jesus wants to do. Remember the story of Peter walking on water? The moment he took his eyes off Jesus and allowed doubt to creep in, he began to sink. That’s what happens in our lives too. Our breakthroughs begin to sink into the sea of our disbelief. Jesus is asking us to keep our eyes fixed on Him, to believe beyond what we can see, and to trust Him even when the waves are crashing around us. If doubt or something else is what is blocking you from receiving Jesus’s breakthroughs for your life, pause for a moment and pray, “Dear Jesus, would you please help me overcome my doubts in you and your abilities to perform miracles, signs, wonders and or breakthroughs in my life? Jesus will you please help me overcome whatever else is preventing me from being able to see, receive or get the miracles, signs, wonders or breakthroughs that you want to give me in my life? I need your help Jesus, I can’t see the way that you can, will you please help me? It is in your name I ask and pray!
After you say that prayer, expect Jesus to hear and respond to that which you have prayed at just the right time, then begin to take steps to build your faith, so that you don’t stay stuck in a place called, “there” “almost”, or what was!
### Action Steps Towards Building Faith
1. **Feed Your Faith Daily**: Start by immersing yourself in the Word of God. Let the scriptures be the foundation upon which your faith is built. Remember, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).
2. **Witness Testimonies**: Surround yourself with testimonies of God’s faithfulness. Listen to stories of breakthroughs and miracles. Let these stories remind you of what Jesus is capable of doing in your life.
3. **Speak Life**: Begin to declare the promises of God over your life. There is power in the spoken word. Speak faith, not fear. Speak life, not death.
4. **Prayer and Fasting**: Commit to a lifestyle of prayer and fasting. This spiritual discipline has the power to strengthen your faith and bring clarity to your spiritual walk.
When your faith in Jesus is strengthened, Breakthrough Awaits!
Imagine a life where your faith is unshakeable, where doubt no longer has a hold on you. This is the life Jesus wants for you. When you begin to trust in what Jesus can do, miracles happen. Just as He calmed the storm with a word, just as He fed the five thousand, just as He raised Lazarus from the dead, He can bring breakthroughs in your life. Wait on Jesus and be of good courage, allow Jesus to strengthen and build your faith so that it stays secure, not wavering and not doubting, if you do this, soon what you were stuck in will begin to change, improve, or be moved!
Let’s be honest with ourselves and with Jesus about our lack of faith. Let us seal the deal by letting Jesus know that we know that He knows that doubts, or something else has been blocking our miracles, breakthroughs, signs or wonders, and because we know this, we take responsibility for it and want to get the issue fixed with His help. So, let’s pray:
“Lord Jesus, I confess that my faith has wavered. I have allowed doubt to cloud my vision and block the breakthroughs You have for me. Today, I choose to trust You anew. I invite You into my circumstances, into the areas of my life that need a breakthrough. I believe that You can work wonders. Help my unbelief, increase my faith, and lead me into the fullness of what You have for me. Amen.”
### If you allow Jesus to build your faith the way He wants to, transformation will Follow!
When Jesus shows up, everything changes. Your life can improve dramatically, becoming better, happier, and more fulfilled than you ever imagined. This isn’t just a possibility; it’s a promise. It’s what happens when we partner with Jesus, believing in what He can do to bring breakthroughs in our lives.
In conclusion, let’s not let doubt keep us from experiencing the fullness of what Jesus wants to do. Let’s commit to building our faith, believing in His power to bring breakthroughs, and inviting Him into every aspect of our lives. Jesus is ready to work wonders; all He asks is that we believe.
Join us in this journey of faith. Let’s get our lives fixed together, trusting that Jesus will help us find the breakthroughs we need. For with Jesus, all things are possible to those who believe.
