Hey everyone! So many people I speak to are having struggles with their faith even if they never admit it. I hope this video provides some practical things we can do to overcome this doubt.
I think this video ties in well with another video of yours which led me to a question. If we truly believe the doctrine of once saved always saved, what difference does it make if you doubt your faith? What difference does it make if you lose your faith? Taking the doctrine to it's logical conclusion, it will make no difference in our salvation, only in our daily lives. Why should any Christian, Protestant or Catholic, believe that this idea is not harmful to the spiritual walk? I'm sure you see the dilemma. If a believer becomes an atheist, his salvation is still gauranteed and thus the scriptures are contradicted for "whosoever believes (present tense) in him shall have eternal life". I bring this up because I believe it to have a negative effect on the body of Christ. At the very least, it creates the logically consistent impression that there are no eternal consequences for denying Christ. 33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 10:33
I think God will still be God if we had all our questions answered. God is His nature at all times, he can't be what He is not. I would just say in His wisdom He keeps certain things from us for our sanity and existence.
When I didn't have a relationship with Jesus I never doubted, but when I devoted my life to Jesus I started having this doubt in my head making me question his existence. I hate it, it is like I am battling with my heart which believes and my mind which is making me doubt, I don't want to doubt anymore, I want to be on fire for my savior like I once was. It make me so sad, someone please help me and also pray for me.
Oh my me 2 idk why like when I was not repenting and kept sining I never had doubts in my head but once I realized that I need to repent and go closer with GOD that’s when doubts were in my head and it has given me ainxiety but I never stopped praying and I know GOD is very real but it makes me feel bad cause I want to go closer to him and grow my faith
I feel exactly what you are going through. This is exactly how it is for me. I just know and believe Jesus has something better for us..Also how are you doing now?
@@samlutz828 When I have doubts about the Bible I look up the history. Their where books written in the times of Jesus and they say that he was the messiah. Keep in mind these books had no connection with the Bible. I also like to say never base your beliefs on your own feelings and understanding of God, God simply is and that doesn’t change if don’t believe or do. I’ll pray for you✝️
One thing I have learned is to always put confidence and trust in God. And always overpower doubt through the Bible and remembering that God has our back :)
@@Navii-05 sometimes to be honest my mind tries to tell me he doesnt exsist but I dont believe that. So why do I think it? I battle this everyday and i just want it to stop. I've seen the faith in others and I want that faith. I dont believe he doesnt exsist I've seen him answer my prayers and change my life before my eyes and the eyes of others. So why do I have to battle myself everyday my own self trying to tell me he isnt real? I wish I didnt have to go through this.
@@sonoftheking1977 I believe you are being spiritually attacked. Besides praying and trusting God to protect you , you might want to look into apologetics where you can learn evidence of God's existence besides human experience. It can really strenghten your belief in God's existence and make it easier to ignore that thoughts. Those thoughts are irrational thoughts, probably from the Devil. I know this is tough what you are experiencing, I was experiencing it too. I've prayed to God a lot, looked into apologetics and eventually it calmed down. Try what I did and see for yourself. God bless you and may Jesus help you. ♥️♥️
@@Navii-05 hey thanks for the advice brother/sister I watch Ray comfort sometimes. And yeah I'm just constantly battling them everyday the Lord will deliver me on his timing for now I gotta pray read fast and fight it. I really just dont want to fall from the faith for something I dont even truly believe. Jesus Christ is real and alive. In my heart I know this. My mind tries to tell me no. Thanks brother.
Brother I was just like you for the last 3 years only 3 days ago did I truly repented and put my trust in Christ and a light shined in me and all my doubt washed away but sometimes I feel that Christ will leave me but remember what he says in his word humble yourselfs therefore under Gods mighty hand that he may lift you up in due time cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you 1 peter 5 .6
I'm 12 and I need help. I get doubts and recently learned that the Islam god is our GOD as well and that just added more fear and doubt and I did more research and I'm soo scared they are coming with these things saying JESUS is not GOD I'm really scared and confused PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.
I recently had a long period of doubt and it drove me away from Christ. I wanted answers and I wanted my sinfulness to just disappear like magic, but I wasn't receiving what I wanted. It sent me into depression, anxiety, anger, bitterness, etc... I was miserable most of the time and medicated my misery with sin. On Saturday, I met with someone from my church (I almost never spend time with people except for family) and he talked with me for 4 hours about a lot of my problems and my lack of faith. He connected with me in a way that I rarely experience and was so gentle and gracious, yet firm with his answers. I didn't get all my questions answered, but I am not doubting nearly as much and I feel happier than I have felt in months. I feel hopeful about the future and I understand God's love for me more. I know that the feeling won't last forever, but I am encouraged in my faith and know that I am loved no matter what.
David William A. I can relate to what you are saying but you know, when I'm angry with God because of many questions and doubts in my mind, His stubborn love sees me through. I began to doubt Him before after finishing reading the Bible and that was 10 years ago. It came to my mind that God is unfair during the OT times and I began questioning Him everyday but it seems He don't care so I got even more angrier. Many things He did in my life that made me understand Him and love Him again. He permitted many unpleasant things in my life to come and I was amazed how powerful He opened my spiritual eyes using that situation. Now, I won't question His Sovereignty anymore, I just want to serve and worship Him!!!
I also relate with your past situation. I am afraid of what will happen after i die. I want all my doubting to go away. I miss my childlike faith. I’m so afraid now and pray God will please help me and take every doubt away. please pray for me.
@@e.d5454 You're not alone, I can promise you that. I feel you, man, but I also know God feels you much more. Keep seeking Jesus. God will never let you be ashamed, Jesus never fails. So put your trust in who He is and just watch. God's gonna carry you through in Jesus name.
@@cekh7633 After I commented that, I had a short period of peace and happiness, but it didn't last. I moved and fell back into a lot of that depression, anxiety, bitterness, and sin for quite a while until recently. I started opening up to people and they helped me a lot. My faith is renewed again after a long period of darkness. I hope that I never fall into that mindset again. I think that the difference now is that I have friends I can talk to and it keeps me going. I also have been reading my bible and praying much more. I spend less time on entertainment, although I still enjoy some of it. The problem for me, I think, is that I isolated and didn't reach out to people often. Now I do and I trust in God more. My depression and anxiety is almost gone, at least for now. I sin less often, although I still sin. My anger and bitterness is almost gone as well. I have friends for the first time in a while, although they're mostly online. Thanks to God for bringing me out of that rut! I hope I never go back to that.
I've always had faith in God and love for Him. In a night, before sleep, i was praying as always. I closed my eyes after, trying to fall asleep and then i had a panick attack where all of these questions i never had in my head, were louder and louder in my toughts. Questions about God and faith and at the end of it i was asking myself "what am i even doing?" From then i started doub religion and felt miserable since then. I feel awful, i don't feel like myself. And with every pro religion tought i have, i get one against it. I just hope God won't let me and trust me when i say this don't feel like myself
It’s about a relationship with our savior not religion. I know that this was 10 months ago but I hope that you are better. Your heart believes one thing but your mind is running with more. I’m going through this and I think it’s a spiritual attack. Pray in Jesus name and ask God to heal your unbelief and doubts. Mark 9:24 ❤️❤️❤️ God loves you and nothing will pluck you away from him. God chose you, loves you and is drawing you near.
@@noellerobin9896 i appreciate a lot your response. Yes, i am feeling better. There are moments when i feel i am dissapointing Him but I'm not questioning anymore and i feel i found my purpose again. God is light but i think that without some darkness we can't value light as we have to so i'm grateful for it as well and i really hope you are too. Thank you for remembering this too💖
Brother be strong and buckle down. It's hard it feels suffocating I know but take heart for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has overcome the world. Remember God is by you and forever for you. Surround yourself with his truth and focus on Jesus. Try not to be led by your emotions. You are definitely not alone in this trust me. God bless you❤❤
This is amazing that I even found this comment, I came to the exact same conclusion, people lie about what they can’t comprehend to feel like God, but Proverbs 3:5-6 clearly says, “5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
I ask to pray for me. Sometimes my mind just thinks too much, I start thinking about existential things that are too high for me to understand and I know it, I really want to get rid of this feeling but the devil is constantly attacking my faith. I believe tho in an Almighty and loving God who loves us even though we’re unfaithful to Him. Let’s pray for each other for it is the only thing we need🙏
Don’t worry. Jesus himself is drawing you closer to him and nothing can take us away from him and always Remember that. I am going through this too, these attacks have been ramping up but know that God is and God will protect us. He is with us to the end of the age.
I am going through something very similar. Since you believe in the Almighty God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit HAVE to come with God because God is perfect. Therefore if He created a world WITHOUT sin. Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity because while He was on earth, He was fully man and fully God and the only perfect, blameless sacrifice for our sins. We can’t atone for our own sins because we’re imperfect sinners. Jesus had to step in for us. The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to enter those who put their faith and trust in Jesus and his death on the cross and those who repent of their sins and ask God for forgiveness. I’ve had to use this logic too to keep my faith during all of this going on in the world.
@@lilymartin5409 thank you so much for saying your logic. That helped me a lot to help me transfer everything to Jesus. I’m going through a season where I needed more understanding and this just helped me ❤️❤️
@@noellerobin9896 Congratulations on giving everything to Jesus! And I want you to know you’re not alone in how you’re feeling. I myself have been struggling to rely on Jesus lately and Satan has put doubt in my mind that I know are just lies, I just don’t know how to get them out. I’m miserable without God and Jesus! But what I typed is the truth, I know that deep down in my heart and accepted Christ many years ago. This bump in the road we’re experiencing has just made it hard to feel God’s presence and to remain in truth. Satan wants us to doubt the One who made us and ultimately saved us through His son, but we can’t let him! We know who our Savior is and that’s Jesus Christ!!
It's really cool whenever the storms in our life pass and then we look back and know Father was with us the whole time and He never left and then we say "I see what you did there Abba, I get it now"! He told us the truth when He said He would NEVER leave us nor forsake us... He will never leave His true children. EDIT: also, feelings can betray. Scripture is solid and never lies.
awaken4Jesus wow that is so powerful “feelings can betray, scripture is solid and never lies” those words really spoke to me, thank you I needed that 🙏🏻
The last point is important! If only the atheist could understand that.... I really needed this... recently I was facing a large amount of doubt but I learned that God actually strengthens us through doubt and makes us a stronger believer. God has helped restore my faith supernaturally... there is no way that an atheist nor an agnostic will ever understand that unless they repent. Great video!!!
God has answered my prayer yet again.... hallelujah. I am struggling with doubts this past two days and I am not able to concentrate in my prayers but i pray anyway for God to show me the way and here I am finding my answers. Thank you for your videos. May God continue to use you and bless you. God is awesome, God is great. ❤️
Number 5 is very important to remember. And just because the answer we are looking for doesn't come that doesn't mean that God has not answered you either. God's answer is not always our answer. I think too often we pray for something specific and not so much God's will for us. I've learned to say that I want what God wants for me even if it's not what I am looking for.
Logic helps me keep my faith. In all the religions that exist today only one savior from heaven died for the sins of the entire world and that savior is Jesus Christ. There is no other religion other than Christianity that preaches that their savior from heaven died for the sins of the entire world. That isolates Christianity from all the other religions in the world proving that it came from God and NOT man because God isn't going to allow another religion to have a savior from heaven to die for the sins of the world because Jesus is the only one to have done such a thing for us. So...the logic of the above fact is a good weapon to use against doubt.
I like to use a similar logic! I used to be involved in the New Age, and Christianity is the one and only religion that is demonized in the New Age community. People often scoff at christians, but welcome and practice ALL other religions. I've heard testimonies of people in the New Age being attacked by demons during sleep paralysis, and the moment they call out Jesus' name, it ends. There is no other like Jesus.

I am going through the doubt season right now. Busy busy busy no 'time' for God. I feel my faith is slipping away... thanks for this video. Please pray for me
My earthly body and mind are at constant war with my heart. The more I try to keep from back sliding into living in the worlds way of living, the more my mind fills with doubt. My heart wants to live for Jesus but my mind and body want to go back to sin.
Dgaller 06- You are not the only one who struggles with sins. All Christians are at war with the flesh once they begin walking in the spirit. Keep praying to God, keep reading scripture and surrounding yourself with spirit encouraging things daily. Galatians 5:16-18 (KJV) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

I’ve had to use this logic to combat doubt and keep my faith living in this sinful world.
I feel exactly the same way. I want to be able to trust God, at the same time I want to “enjoy” life to the fullest and I feel guilty for that, because it usually involves sin. It’s a constant battle between what I want & what I should do… I can’t stop doubting everything, including myself 😔.
Yes, I struggle with this also. Maddie and Scott- you’re not alone! Yet I always find that after doubt, God strengthens my belief and trust in Him because He’s never failed to rescue me.
I sometimes get doubt in there existence. I really hope they do exist, because it’s sound so great and I want something to live for. This often gets me sad when I doubt there existence, but I told them I will never give up on them...
I sometimes doubt if Christianity is the right religion, but I know there is a God. I just sometimes doubt about if it is the Christian God because of how many religions there are. Thank you for making this video, Allen. It helped me battle those thoughts. Love from Georgia 🙏
I have the same doubt every once in a while but that’s just spiritual warfare. I can’t vouch for other religions and if they feel any warfare, but I have never seen such a majority of people struggle with the same types of spiritual warfare as Christianity. And so many things have been talked about in the Bible that have come to be true, some being Christianity will be a hated religion and we will be spiritually attacked. I just keep praying that God opens my eyes and delivers me from the doubt.
Everytime I have thoughts that Christianity isn’t the true religion, I feel the devil is putting that in our minds to keep us away from Jesus and go even more astray. Don’t feed into the lies the devil has to say, the reason we struggle so hard in our Faith is because this IS the true religion, God and real and the devil is busy. God bless you ❤
same boat here. But after all, Jesus is the only one that died for us. No buddha, no muhammad, no hindu god, no nothing EVER died for me and you! only JESUS
also another thing that helps me in this case is the fact that ALL the other religions consider Jesus in one way or another, and you can look this up by yourself; Buddhist acknowledge Jesus, muslims acknowledge Jesus too, Hindus too, New Age belief too…they all have something to say about Jesus, yet Jesus never even consider any other religion and only talked about Him being the Way, the Truth, The Life.
It’s crazy I’m just now finding this, I have doubts all the time and I sometimes feel guilty about them. This video will help me a lot in my journey. Thank you so much Allen!
I didn't even need to watch the video complete, the comments revived my faith. I doubted if christainity was the right religion because of the Muslim and Christian debates I have been seeing. And all the Muslims in the comment will be praying to Allah to sensitize christains and there will be bringing up errors and inconsistencies in the Bible; the different Bible translations etc. Even seeing christains converting to Muslims made things worse. Although, Muslims are also converting to christains. But I am going to pray about it, and I know God will see me through in this journey. It's just the devil trying to drag me away. But I am standing firm in my faith. Amen!
Thank you so much for this, I was beating myself up for having doubts about Jesus 🥺 I’m a born again Christian and have been on this renewed path for 3 months, I can’t even believe it, it feels like it’s been much longer than that! The story of John the Baptist was a great reminder that it’s ok to feel the way. I have been getting closer to God & praying to Him for patience & understanding, thank you so much for making this video🥲
This is what the enemy does he tries to put doubt or unbelief in our minds. But daughter of God you will get through that. God will use this for your good. Remember Thomas in the Bible who doubted the resurrection of Jesus? Remember John the Baptist who doubted who Jesus was? Remember how Satan wanted to sift peter as wheat? To shake or destroy Peter’s faith in Jesus/God But Jesus prayed “I have prayed that your faith may not fail” Jesus has plans for you and will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. He will provide away of escape.
I prayed with faith, asked the holy eternal father ADONAI about Yeshua and after 5 minutes i felt a fire in my heart, but it did not hurt, it was relaxing and i felt peace during the experience, felt the fire on my head an my shoulders too, but it is like a non-burning flame, and the longer i kept praying the bigger was the fire and the peace, but i stopped praying and the fire stopped too
This one is just right in time for what im struggling right now. For months until now Im thinking of doubts about God's existence, and faith if it's just a waste of time. Point by point it has dealt my questions and how to's. Thanks man! I'll be watching this offline often so I'll be reminded.
For me something that really helps is calming down and also realizing that we won’t always have all the answers and is probably an answer that I simply don’t know yet. Calming down is helpful because it can help me think and feel less stressed.
Thank you, I was having doubts this week, and I am glad this video helped me so much with how you explained that other Christians have doubts too, explained the Bible in certain season in their life! I must needed this today!
It is ok, most of us go through it, just remember that it will be over, and your relationship with God will be better, I used to also be doubtful, be free to talk about it, it will be better, pray, rennet, God is there for you, he just wants your relationship with him to strengthen
Thank you for making this video my friend im starting to have a lot of faith problems right now and i cant tell exactly why 2021 was a really bad year for me and i had a lot of anger and suffering and probably was the year were i had more problems of faith than ever the thing is that im not really sure if God really exists and if is a loving and caring God as everybody says and i had this doubt for years last year i changed completely as a person i was always angry frustrated and desperated and i thought that God forsaken me but now these last months i remembered why i choosed to belive in God all my life i always acted like Jesus who was a compasionate man and loved everybody and forgived their sins i remember that when i used to go to church when i was little i always felt comfortable and in peace with myself and in this desperate times that im living in i was so focused on rage and Dispair that i completely forget how to love and care about people because thats what God really wants from us to love and treat like a Brother to everyone it doesnt matter what kind of people do you met in life and what kind of person they are(White Black Asiatic Musilm Buddist Atheists Homosexuals Bisexuals Transgenders ect...) you ALWAYS have to love everybody because we are all the same and God created us with wonderful virtues maybe i will never have enough proof that God even exists and i will have this hesitation all my life but one thing is sure i will always apply the message of Love and Peace that our Lord has given to us
This is so amazing i was Doubting about the existence of God this is for all who struggles doubting, this really helps me in my faith and continue to praise God
Please pray for me Like many others I'm experiencing doubt in God's existence ever since I've started moving towards him and it's really troubling me 🙏
This video has been so helpful. I’ve always wanted to know the answers to all my questions but i just need to have trust and faith. This has helped me with my doubts, thank you😊
You know what I'm Christian I got saved but right now I'm in a place where I'm doubting God's existence...but it's so irritating coz I know He exists but the doubts won't leave me alone...at some point I was even doubting my being a believer and asked if I'm just an unbeliever posing as a believer...but you know what I'm gonna move past the doubt and seek Lord God...there's evidence all over my life and in creation...this video has really helped me...
Thank you so much. I love your videos. I love them particularly because of the verses you cite. They help me a lot and they prove what you say. When I became a Christian, my faith was unwavering. I think because GOD gave me everything I prayed for. I have gone in a down fall for 16 years now. So now I believe God will change things for the best but doubt is always sneaking in my mind. I thing you should post more audios of your preaching. I have seen only one about faith. I need a strong faith like Abraham and many Christians do. Thank you for enlightening us.
When Jesus said, " why have you forsaken me," he wasnt doubting God, God seperated himself from Christ because of the sins Jesus was being in contact with.
@@bruhmingo If The Father in His full glory cannot separate Himself from The Son while the Son was taking on the sins of the world then how can Christ taste death, if Christ is GOD?
I have been struggling with this, so far I understand that this is a test, I know God will accomplish his purpose through this, just keep walking. Faith is a gift from God, we cannot increase faith by our own strength or will, it all depends on the glorious purpose of our Lord Jesuschrist, after the test we are able to console others who might be in the same situation.
yea, sometimes I doubt, not the existence obviously, but sometimes I struggle. but there's one thing I never do, believe in science. they contradict themselves constantly. the only time the Bible has contradicted themselves was when Catholics added 14 other books lol.
Sweet Lady I believe in God ever since the beginning, many Christians go through doubt with their faith, but later we have different struggles, out of no where my mind started filling with thoughts and I know they were lies, but we Jesus always answers our prayers ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️
God said “not only this, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces preserverance.”God said “not only this, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces preserverance.”
I don't want to judge, because you actually may not do it, but I believe Scienetists always say facts about something for example how old something is. There was a time the earth was 70000 years old then it was 300000 or something and after lot of mathworks it nowadays is 4,5 Bilion which I do not believe at all. It just is 6000.
Hi Allen, this is really good encouragement and as someone who has recently come back to to the Lord after a time of doubting I really appreciate the information in this video. I'm going to save it to share with anyone I know who may be challenged in their faith. Praise God He is good.
Allen thank your consistency in delivering the Word of God. It is always timely and I thank God for you. I am also passing your videos along hoping people will not.be offended but understand that God loves all and is seeking to get up close with us. Praise God.
I don't doubt that Jesus Is God, or the resurrection. My doubt comes when I wonder if some of these promises apply to me specifically. Whether or not I'm hearing God's voice or my own thoughts. Whether or not He is doing something or if it's just coincidence..I have a real problem with the "or maybe it's just a coincidence" train of thought. This leads to feelings of condemnation or rather just not being confident in my salvation. Please pray for me, I need all the prayer I can get
I'm new back to Christianity and I'm hoping that in time I'll be able to love and appreciate Jesus as much as others in Church do. I hope to love God and Jesus more than I fear Them (or is it Him haha). I repented the other day after getting my faith a lot stronger than it was before, but I'm not sure that my faith is actually strong enough that I'm saved.
Please pray for or me!! I’ve been through this major doubting period for close to two months now. Throughout it I’ve had moments of great joy where I felt Gods presence and very secure in my faith and the next I’m doubting his very existence! I hate it! I do suffer from anxiety so sometimes I wonder if I’m overthinking my ability to believe abs have faith more than the belief itself. Please pray for me if you’re reading this!
Thank you for this Allen. I've been looking for videos on this and this one really touched me, moved me and encouraged me. THE BEST way to prove some doctrine or opinion is to give me some Bible verses, which you did and that I'm thankful for!
I have a prayer request, my son in law, works with a atheist, this has really got him having doubts about his faith,please pray he has understanding and clarity!Please help me pray for him,he's really going through it!Blessing to all of you!God bless you all!!
Brother you are very true😍 You see i saw your video on speaking in tongues & it's really not fully correct. We can speak in tongues that cannot be understood by any man. I hope Jesus would definitely make you more aware about the power of Holy Spirit. Keep up the good work of our Lord Jesus😍😘😊
I’m questioning my faith because I’m scared of there is nothing after death...I’m terrified of death and it makes me feel worse thinking there is nothing
Why are you scared of nothing nothing should be scared about as much as hell i was terrified about believing before when i was a christian im now an agnostic im not afraid of nothing as long as i dont have any feelings of bugs coming through me or anything after if im not cremated
Guys i am so so so full of the Holy Spirit right now i am shaking, i was praying to the Lord thst He strengthens my faith to the maximum and i just feel so blessed right now, like my Saviour is holding my hand, OUR LORD IS SO AMAZING AND WONDERFUL, AND SO GREAT, INFINITIVE AND ETERNAL PRAISED YOUR NAME BE MY LORD AND MY SAVIOUR✝️✝️💞💖💖😁😁😁😭😭😭😭😭😭😄😄
I became born again and reading my Bible nonstop. I would even call off work just to dedicate the day to God and nonstop scripture reading...and then....doubt. I had thoughts "is Jesus really the Messiah?" "Did Jesus really and truly die for my sins?" "Is Jesus really the Son of God?" "Will eternal life be worth it?" I felt so ashamed to ask these questions since these questions were so crucial to my salvation, but I believe the Holy Spirit is giving me reassurance. I still struggle with some doubt but I just think of what God HAS done for me instead of what God HASN'T done and it usually helps.
I can not recall a time in my life; that I ever doubted God, or Christ (even in my rebellious season)... However, I have doubts of my salvation every now and then. I always exemine myself; making sure I am still on that narrow path towards Him.
In 2017 I gave my life to christ. But I get severe anxiety attacks begging God to save me I think I've been basing my beliefs on my feelings . Now I will base them off truth I'm starting to believe
Hey everyone! So many people I speak to are having struggles with their faith even if they never admit it. I hope this video provides some practical things we can do to overcome this doubt.
THE BEAT by Allen Parr Sometimes doubt arises, if God listens AND answers prayers. Thanks for this teaching. Always looking forward! God bless.
Tylan Abram God puts us through struggles in our lives to draw us closer to Him. Keep fighting the good fight of faith, brother!
I think this video ties in well with another video of yours which led me to a question. If we truly believe the doctrine of once saved always saved, what difference does it make if you doubt your faith? What difference does it make if you lose your faith? Taking the doctrine to it's logical conclusion, it will make no difference in our salvation, only in our daily lives. Why should any Christian, Protestant or Catholic, believe that this idea is not harmful to the spiritual walk?
I'm sure you see the dilemma. If a believer becomes an atheist, his salvation is still gauranteed and thus the scriptures are contradicted for "whosoever believes (present tense) in him shall have eternal life".
I bring this up because I believe it to have a negative effect on the body of Christ. At the very least, it creates the logically consistent impression that there are no eternal consequences for denying Christ.
33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 10:33
I have a Questen please the Beat could do a viedeo just about what de should do to keep the Faith please this is very very important...thank you! 😀
I think God will still be God if we had all our questions answered. God is His nature at all times, he can't be what He is not. I would just say in His wisdom He keeps certain things from us for our sanity and existence.
When I didn't have a relationship with Jesus I never doubted, but when I devoted my life to Jesus I started having this doubt in my head making me question his existence. I hate it, it is like I am battling with my heart which believes and my mind which is making me doubt, I don't want to doubt anymore, I want to be on fire for my savior like I once was. It make me so sad, someone please help me and also pray for me.
that's what I'm going through right now, I'll pray for you. It shall be well. God is on your side, don't worry.
Oh my me 2 idk why like when I was not repenting and kept sining I never had doubts in my head but once I realized that I need to repent and go closer with GOD that’s when doubts were in my head and it has given me ainxiety but I never stopped praying and I know GOD is very real but it makes me feel bad cause I want to go closer to him and grow my faith
Going through this as well, the enemy is always doing whatever he can to devour - praise God, praying for your doubt!
I feel exactly what you are going through. This is exactly how it is for me. I just know and believe Jesus has something better for us..Also how are you doing now?
I feel the exact way too... Please pray for all of us here for strengthened faith
When in doubt pull The Holy Bible out! Amen Allen.
Good advice!!!
But then sometimes I doubt the Bible😶
I don't like when that happens
@@samlutz828 When I have doubts about the Bible I look up the history. Their where books written in the times of Jesus and they say that he was the messiah. Keep in mind these books had no connection with the Bible. I also like to say never base your beliefs on your own feelings and understanding of God, God simply is and that doesn’t change if don’t believe or do. I’ll pray for you✝️
It makes no sense though 😔😢
And dont tell me I'm not praying enough or reading enough or something. I've prayed and read my soul out.
I have doubt all the time.... So what? I know Jesus wont ever leave me! Even in my doubts i trust in him. 😇
One thing I have learned is to always put confidence and trust in God. And always overpower doubt through the Bible and remembering that God has our back :)
What Kind of doubts?Doubts that He exist and the Bible is false or what?
@@Navii-05 sometimes to be honest my mind tries to tell me he doesnt exsist but I dont believe that. So why do I think it? I battle this everyday and i just want it to stop. I've seen the faith in others and I want that faith. I dont believe he doesnt exsist I've seen him answer my prayers and change my life before my eyes and the eyes of others. So why do I have to battle myself everyday my own self trying to tell me he isnt real? I wish I didnt have to go through this.
@@sonoftheking1977 I believe you are being spiritually attacked. Besides praying and trusting God to protect you , you might want to look into apologetics where you can learn evidence of God's existence besides human experience. It can really strenghten your belief in God's existence and make it easier to ignore that thoughts. Those thoughts are irrational thoughts, probably from the Devil. I know this is tough what you are experiencing, I was experiencing it too. I've prayed to God a lot, looked into apologetics and eventually it calmed down. Try what I did and see for yourself. God bless you and may Jesus help you. ♥️♥️
@@Navii-05 hey thanks for the advice brother/sister I watch Ray comfort sometimes. And yeah I'm just constantly battling them everyday the Lord will deliver me on his timing for now I gotta pray read fast and fight it. I really just dont want to fall from the faith for something I dont even truly believe. Jesus Christ is real and alive. In my heart I know this. My mind tries to tell me no. Thanks brother.
Plz pray for me I’m constantly being bombarded with doubt,and I want to believe in god with all my heart.
Hi, how are you doing brother? 🙏🏼 God bless 💞
Brother I was just like you for the last 3 years only 3 days ago did I truly repented and put my trust in Christ and a light shined in me and all my doubt washed away but sometimes I feel that Christ will leave me but remember what he says in his word humble yourselfs therefore under Gods mighty hand that he may lift you up in due time cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you 1 peter 5 .6
@@DEADxVenom so happy to hear that brother, Jesus Christ loves you. ❤️
I'm 12 and I need help. I get doubts and recently learned that the Islam god is our GOD as well and that just added more fear and doubt and I did more research and I'm soo scared they are coming with these things saying JESUS is not GOD I'm really scared and confused PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.
@Jesus loves you all Thank you.
I recently had a long period of doubt and it drove me away from Christ. I wanted answers and I wanted my sinfulness to just disappear like magic, but I wasn't receiving what I wanted. It sent me into depression, anxiety, anger, bitterness, etc... I was miserable most of the time and medicated my misery with sin. On Saturday, I met with someone from my church (I almost never spend time with people except for family) and he talked with me for 4 hours about a lot of my problems and my lack of faith. He connected with me in a way that I rarely experience and was so gentle and gracious, yet firm with his answers. I didn't get all my questions answered, but I am not doubting nearly as much and I feel happier than I have felt in months. I feel hopeful about the future and I understand God's love for me more. I know that the feeling won't last forever, but I am encouraged in my faith and know that I am loved no matter what.
David William A. I can relate to what you are saying but you know, when I'm angry with God because of many questions and doubts in my mind, His stubborn love sees me through. I began to doubt Him before after finishing reading the Bible and that was 10 years ago. It came to my mind that God is unfair during the OT times and I began questioning Him everyday but it seems He don't care so I got even more angrier. Many things He did in my life that made me understand Him and love Him again. He permitted many unpleasant things in my life to come and I was amazed how powerful He opened my spiritual eyes using that situation. Now, I won't question His Sovereignty anymore, I just want to serve and worship Him!!!
I also relate with your past situation. I am afraid of what will happen after i die. I want all my doubting to go away. I miss my childlike faith. I’m so afraid now and pray God will please help me and take every doubt away. please pray for me.
@@e.d5454 You're not alone, I can promise you that. I feel you, man, but I also know God feels you much more. Keep seeking Jesus. God will never let you be ashamed, Jesus never fails. So put your trust in who He is and just watch. God's gonna carry you through in Jesus name.
@@cekh7633 After I commented that, I had a short period of peace and happiness, but it didn't last. I moved and fell back into a lot of that depression, anxiety, bitterness, and sin for quite a while until recently. I started opening up to people and they helped me a lot. My faith is renewed again after a long period of darkness. I hope that I never fall into that mindset again. I think that the difference now is that I have friends I can talk to and it keeps me going. I also have been reading my bible and praying much more. I spend less time on entertainment, although I still enjoy some of it. The problem for me, I think, is that I isolated and didn't reach out to people often. Now I do and I trust in God more. My depression and anxiety is almost gone, at least for now. I sin less often, although I still sin. My anger and bitterness is almost gone as well. I have friends for the first time in a while, although they're mostly online. Thanks to God for bringing me out of that rut! I hope I never go back to that.
David William A. i’m also going through this and it’s so so so hard
I've always had faith in God and love for Him. In a night, before sleep, i was praying as always. I closed my eyes after, trying to fall asleep and then i had a panick attack where all of these questions i never had in my head, were louder and louder in my toughts. Questions about God and faith and at the end of it i was asking myself "what am i even doing?" From then i started doub religion and felt miserable since then. I feel awful, i don't feel like myself. And with every pro religion tought i have, i get one against it. I just hope God won't let me and trust me when i say this don't feel like myself
It’s about a relationship with our savior not religion. I know that this was 10 months ago but I hope that you are better. Your heart believes one thing but your mind is running with more. I’m going through this and I think it’s a spiritual attack. Pray in Jesus name and ask God to heal your unbelief and doubts. Mark 9:24 ❤️❤️❤️ God loves you and nothing will pluck you away from him. God chose you, loves you and is drawing you near.
@@noellerobin9896 i appreciate a lot your response. Yes, i am feeling better. There are moments when i feel i am dissapointing Him but I'm not questioning anymore and i feel i found my purpose again. God is light but i think that without some darkness we can't value light as we have to so i'm grateful for it as well and i really hope you are too. Thank you for remembering this too💖
Omg the same thing kind of happened to me a month a half ago, I still have these doubts sometines
The same thing happened to me almost 2 years ago. Its still affecting me a lot and it hurts so much, please pray!
Brother be strong and buckle down. It's hard it feels suffocating I know but take heart for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has overcome the world. Remember God is by you and forever for you. Surround yourself with his truth and focus on Jesus. Try not to be led by your emotions. You are definitely not alone in this trust me. God bless you❤❤
The last one is so crucial. Many want to know the answer to everything and some make up lies if they don't have the answer.
tim spangler I know that's right.
This is amazing that I even found this comment, I came to the exact same conclusion, people lie about what they can’t comprehend to feel like God, but Proverbs 3:5-6 clearly says,
“5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
I ask to pray for me. Sometimes my mind just thinks too much, I start thinking about existential things that are too high for me to understand and I know it, I really want to get rid of this feeling but the devil is constantly attacking my faith. I believe tho in an Almighty and loving God who loves us even though we’re unfaithful to Him. Let’s pray for each other for it is the only thing we need🙏
I'm going through something similar, and there are millions of Christians who are struggling with this sort of doubt. Don't worry.
Don’t worry. Jesus himself is drawing you closer to him and nothing can take us away from him and always Remember that. I am going through this too, these attacks have been ramping up but know that God is and God will protect us. He is with us to the end of the age.
I am going through something very similar. Since you believe in the Almighty God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit HAVE to come with God because God is perfect. Therefore if He created a world WITHOUT sin. Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity because while He was on earth, He was fully man and fully God and the only perfect, blameless sacrifice for our sins. We can’t atone for our own sins because we’re imperfect sinners. Jesus had to step in for us. The Holy Spirit’s purpose is to enter those who put their faith and trust in Jesus and his death on the cross and those who repent of their sins and ask God for forgiveness. I’ve had to use this logic too to keep my faith during all of this going on in the world.
@@lilymartin5409 thank you so much for saying your logic. That helped me a lot to help me transfer everything to Jesus. I’m going through a season where I needed more understanding and this just helped me ❤️❤️
@@noellerobin9896 Congratulations on giving everything to Jesus! And I want you to know you’re not alone in how you’re feeling. I myself have been struggling to rely on Jesus lately and Satan has put doubt in my mind that I know are just lies, I just don’t know how to get them out. I’m miserable without God and Jesus! But what I typed is the truth, I know that deep down in my heart and accepted Christ many years ago. This bump in the road we’re experiencing has just made it hard to feel God’s presence and to remain in truth. Satan wants us to doubt the One who made us and ultimately saved us through His son, but we can’t let him! We know who our Savior is and that’s Jesus Christ!!
It's really cool whenever the storms in our life pass and then we look back and know Father was with us the whole time and He never left and then we say "I see what you did there Abba, I get it now"!
He told us the truth when He said He would NEVER leave us nor forsake us...
He will never leave His true children.
EDIT: also, feelings can betray. Scripture is solid and never lies.
awaken4Jesus wow that is so powerful “feelings can betray, scripture is solid and never lies” those words really spoke to me, thank you I needed that 🙏🏻
"Feelings can betray"
Touched my heart right there.
The last point is important! If only the atheist could understand that.... I really needed this... recently I was facing a large amount of doubt but I learned that God actually strengthens us through doubt and makes us a stronger believer. God has helped restore my faith supernaturally... there is no way that an atheist nor an agnostic will ever understand that unless they repent. Great video!!!
God has answered my prayer yet again.... hallelujah. I am struggling with doubts this past two days and I am not able to concentrate in my prayers but i pray anyway for God to show me the way and here I am finding my answers. Thank you for your videos. May God continue to use you and bless you. God is awesome, God is great. ❤️
I am going through the same time over the past months but I know that the doubt will go away
Number 5 is very important to remember. And just because the answer we are looking for doesn't come that doesn't mean that God has not answered you either. God's answer is not always our answer. I think too often we pray for something specific and not so much God's will for us. I've learned to say that I want what God wants for me even if it's not what I am looking for.
Great! God Bless you brother
Logic helps me keep my faith.
In all the religions that exist today only one savior from heaven died for the sins of the entire world and that savior is Jesus Christ.
There is no other religion other than Christianity that preaches that their savior from heaven died for the sins of the entire world.
That isolates Christianity from all the other religions in the world proving that it came from God and NOT man because God isn't going to allow another religion to have a savior from heaven to die for the sins of the world because Jesus is the only one to have done such a thing for us.
So...the logic of the above fact is a good weapon to use against doubt.
TRUE.
Amen amen
I like to use a similar logic! I used to be involved in the New Age, and Christianity is the one and only religion that is demonized in the New Age community. People often scoff at christians, but welcome and practice ALL other religions. I've heard testimonies of people in the New Age being attacked by demons during sleep paralysis, and the moment they call out Jesus' name, it ends. There is no other like Jesus.

We are all different and have different perspectives and as a result we all use different forms of logic, but only the perspectives based upon what the bible says are the true perspectives that we as Christians must hold onto in our battle against those who wish to destroy our faith.
@@danielblair4413 Of course.
I am going through the doubt season right now. Busy busy busy no 'time' for God. I feel my faith is slipping away... thanks for this video. Please pray for me
In the mighty name of Jesus
My earthly body and mind are at constant war with my heart. The more I try to keep from back sliding into living in the worlds way of living, the more my mind fills with doubt. My heart wants to live for Jesus but my mind and body want to go back to sin.
Dgaller 06- You are not the only one who struggles with sins. All Christians are at war with the flesh once they begin walking in the spirit. Keep praying to God, keep reading scripture and surrounding yourself with spirit encouraging things daily. Galatians 5:16-18 (KJV) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

I’ve had to use this logic to combat doubt and keep my faith living in this sinful world.
@@lilymartin5409 WOWWW God just spoke through you girl
I feel exactly the same way. I want to be able to trust God, at the same time I want to “enjoy” life to the fullest and I feel guilty for that, because it usually involves sin. It’s a constant battle between what I want & what I should do… I can’t stop doubting everything, including myself 😔.
i have doubts in my head and i know they aren’t real but i can’t get rid of them - they’re more like constant intrusive thoughts. thank you for this!
Me too Maddie. Keep praying and fighting. I think a lot of us have these attacks. (Ocd or just regular, I don't know).
Yes, I struggle with this also. Maddie and Scott- you’re not alone! Yet I always find that after doubt, God strengthens my belief and trust in Him because He’s never failed to rescue me.
How are u now ?
I sometimes get doubt in there existence. I really hope they do exist, because it’s sound so great and I want something to live for. This often gets me sad when I doubt there existence, but I told them I will never give up on them...
I sometimes doubt if Christianity is the right religion, but I know there is a God. I just sometimes doubt about if it is the Christian God because of how many religions there are. Thank you for making this video, Allen. It helped me battle those thoughts. Love from Georgia 🙏
Jesus Christ Loves You
I have the same doubt every once in a while but that’s just spiritual warfare. I can’t vouch for other religions and if they feel any warfare, but I have never seen such a majority of people struggle with the same types of spiritual warfare as Christianity. And so many things have been talked about in the Bible that have come to be true, some being Christianity will be a hated religion and we will be spiritually attacked. I just keep praying that God opens my eyes and delivers me from the doubt.
Everytime I have thoughts that Christianity isn’t the true religion, I feel the devil is putting that in our minds to keep us away from Jesus and go even more astray. Don’t feed into the lies the devil has to say, the reason we struggle so hard in our Faith is because this IS the true religion, God and real and the devil is busy. God bless you ❤
same boat here. But after all, Jesus is the only one that died for us. No buddha, no muhammad, no hindu god, no nothing EVER died for me and you! only JESUS
also another thing that helps me in this case is the fact that ALL the other religions consider Jesus in one way or another, and you can look this up by yourself; Buddhist acknowledge Jesus, muslims acknowledge Jesus too, Hindus too, New Age belief too…they all have something to say about Jesus, yet Jesus never even consider any other religion and only talked about Him being the Way, the Truth, The Life.
It’s crazy I’m just now finding this, I have doubts all the time and I sometimes feel guilty about them. This video will help me a lot in my journey. Thank you so much Allen!
I didn't even need to watch the video complete, the comments revived my faith. I doubted if christainity was the right religion because of the Muslim and Christian debates I have been seeing. And all the Muslims in the comment will be praying to Allah to sensitize christains and there will be bringing up errors and inconsistencies in the Bible; the different Bible translations etc. Even seeing christains converting to Muslims made things worse. Although, Muslims are also converting to christains.
But I am going to pray about it, and I know God will see me through in this journey. It's just the devil trying to drag me away. But I am standing firm in my faith. Amen!
Whenever I say I believe in God, I feel the spirit inside of me smile 😇
May God have mercy upon us
Thank you so much for this, I was beating myself up for having doubts about Jesus 🥺 I’m a born again Christian and have been on this renewed path for 3 months, I can’t even believe it, it feels like it’s been much longer than that! The story of John the Baptist was a great reminder that it’s ok to feel the way. I have been getting closer to God & praying to Him for patience & understanding, thank you so much for making this video🥲
This is what the enemy does he tries to put doubt or unbelief in our minds. But daughter of God you will get through that. God will use this for your good. Remember Thomas in the Bible who doubted the resurrection of Jesus? Remember John the Baptist who doubted who Jesus was? Remember how Satan wanted to sift peter as wheat? To shake or destroy Peter’s faith in Jesus/God But Jesus prayed “I have prayed that your faith may not fail” Jesus has plans for you and will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. He will provide away of escape.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve been in a really hard season, I never thought I would doubt my faith but I will keep going towards Jesus!
I was doubting today and then I prayed to Jesus so that I would know the truth, then this evening this video got recommended to me 👀
I prayed with faith, asked the holy eternal father ADONAI about Yeshua and after 5 minutes i felt a fire in my heart, but it did not hurt, it was relaxing and i felt peace during the experience, felt the fire on my head an my shoulders too, but it is like a non-burning flame, and the longer i kept praying the bigger was the fire and the peace, but i stopped praying and the fire stopped too
Thanks so much for this encouragement. Right on time!
You're welcome TheBeautii2009! Thanks so much!
God sent this video to me in my time of doubt and reminded me that he is the true god of the world. Thank you God and thank you Mr. Parr
Allen its 2020 and i was doubting christianity and jesus and this video popped up GOD BLESS YOU Gods so good
This one is just right in time for what im struggling right now. For months until now Im thinking of doubts about God's existence, and faith if it's just a waste of time. Point by point it has dealt my questions and how to's. Thanks man! I'll be watching this offline often so I'll be reminded.
For me something that really helps is calming down and also realizing that we won’t always have all the answers and is probably an answer that I simply don’t know yet. Calming down is helpful because it can help me think and feel less stressed.
Wow. this is so true. It's my doubt that actually made me spend my time reading the bible during this quarantine..
and I think It's not always bad to have doubts because it actually leads me to knowing Jesus and to have deeper relationship with Him.
Thank you for that.... 🙂
You're welcome Tracie's Place! Thanks so much!
Your simplified explanation are great! Thanks for doing God's work... God bless you!
Thank you, I was having doubts this week, and I am glad this video helped me so much with how you explained that other Christians have doubts too, explained the Bible in certain season in their life! I must needed this today!
I prayed for to remove my doubt and I accidentally stumbled upon YT and your video being the first video I saw 🙏
Thank you for this. Sometimes I have doubts of God's existance which I wish I didn't but I still do. I don't know why 😣
It is ok, most of us go through it, just remember that it will be over, and your relationship with God will be better, I used to also be doubtful, be free to talk about it, it will be better, pray, rennet, God is there for you, he just wants your relationship with him to strengthen
This is perhaps the best faith lifting message I have come across. God bless you
Thank you for making this video my friend im starting to have a lot of faith problems right now and i cant tell exactly why 2021 was a really bad year for me and i had a lot of anger and suffering and probably was the year were i had more problems of faith than ever the thing is that im not really sure if God really exists and if is a loving and caring God as everybody says and i had this doubt for years last year i changed completely as a person i was always angry frustrated and desperated and i thought that God forsaken me but now these last months i remembered why i choosed to belive in God all my life i always acted like Jesus who was a compasionate man and loved everybody and forgived their sins i remember that when i used to go to church when i was little i always felt comfortable and in peace with myself and in this desperate times that im living in i was so focused on rage and Dispair that i completely forget how to love and care about people because thats what God really wants from us to love and treat like a Brother to everyone it doesnt matter what kind of people do you met in life and what kind of person they are(White Black Asiatic Musilm Buddist Atheists Homosexuals Bisexuals Transgenders ect...) you ALWAYS have to love everybody because we are all the same and God created us with wonderful virtues maybe i will never have enough proof that God even exists and i will have this hesitation all my life but one thing is sure i will always apply the message of Love and Peace that our Lord has given to us
Helping a friend out, God bless her soul, and thank you for your video, I appreciate it very much. God bless you 😊🙏
That was incredible Mr.Parr. This is really going to help those including myself with their uncertainties with our Lord and Savior Jesus
Amen.. thank you for Deuteronomy 29,:29 I also advice Isaiah 55:8-9 and proverbs 3:5,-6 this will help a lot for evangelism and counseling. God Bless
This is so amazing i was Doubting about the existence of God this is for all who struggles doubting, this really helps me in my faith and continue to praise God
Hey Brother we are currently talking about faith at Bible college here what a conformation. God bless you brother.
Wow! It's amazing how that works. God has a way of getting a message to us when we need it!
THE BEAT by Allen Parr Amen brother
THE BEAT by Allen Parr true brother, God uses many ways to give messages to us
Please pray for me
Like many others I'm experiencing doubt in God's existence ever since I've started moving towards him and it's really troubling me 🙏
Thank you my friend. I appreciate your education on very sensitive topics...amen
What a fantastic video. Thank GOD I found you during my study of doubt and faith. Best description and prescription for doubt I’ve seen yet.
This video has been so helpful. I’ve always wanted to know the answers to all my questions but i just need to have trust and faith. This has helped me with my doubts, thank you😊
You know what I'm Christian I got saved but right now I'm in a place where I'm doubting God's existence...but it's so irritating coz I know He exists but the doubts won't leave me alone...at some point I was even doubting my being a believer and asked if I'm just an unbeliever posing as a believer...but you know what I'm gonna move past the doubt and seek Lord God...there's evidence all over my life and in creation...this video has really helped me...
Thank you so much. I love your videos. I love them particularly because of the verses you cite. They help me a lot and they prove what you say. When I became a Christian, my faith was unwavering. I think because GOD gave me everything I prayed for. I have gone in a down fall for 16 years now. So now I believe God will change things for the best but doubt is always sneaking in my mind. I thing you should post more audios of your preaching. I have seen only one about faith. I need a strong faith like Abraham and many Christians do. Thank you for enlightening us.
When Jesus said, " why have you forsaken me," he wasnt doubting God, God seperated himself from Christ because of the sins Jesus was being in contact with.
It is also an opening verse of Psalm 22
It’s an allusion to psalm 22. God cannot separate himself from Christ since Christ is God.
@@bruhmingo If The Father in His full glory cannot separate Himself from The Son while the Son was taking on the sins of the world then how can Christ taste death, if Christ is GOD?
Amen, I really appreciate all the videos you do Alan. Thank you very much.. God bless everyone reading this
I have been struggling with this, so far I understand that this is a test, I know God will accomplish his purpose through this, just keep walking.
Faith is a gift from God, we cannot increase faith by our own strength or will, it all depends on the glorious purpose of our Lord Jesuschrist, after the test we are able to console others who might be in the same situation.
Thank you for this message!
I would like to add one more thing....NEVER MIX SCIENCE WITH BELIEFS....causes lot of doubts and questions..
lizAKeV 7 A true Christian wouldn’t do that. Only nun believers because they doubt God is real in the first place
yea, sometimes I doubt, not the existence obviously, but sometimes I struggle. but there's one thing I never do, believe in science. they contradict themselves constantly. the only time the Bible has contradicted themselves was when Catholics added 14 other books lol.
Sweet Lady I believe in God ever since the beginning, many Christians go through doubt with their faith, but later we have different struggles, out of no where my mind started filling with thoughts and I know they were lies, but we Jesus always answers our prayers ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️
God said “not only this, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces preserverance.”God said “not only this, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces preserverance.”
I don't want to judge, because you actually may not do it, but I believe Scienetists always say facts about something for example how old something is.
There was a time the earth was 70000 years old then it was 300000 or something and after lot of mathworks it nowadays is 4,5 Bilion which I do not believe at all. It just is 6000.
Thank you I needed this everytime I spend more then 10 minutes not in conversation with God I start doubting
Thanks for the video Allen, because you have allowed the Lord to speak through you you have helped many.
Thank you, great teaching,keep up the good work in Jesus name
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been struggling with this lately and I was so excited to see this!
Ty this was powerful too me it made me wake up and realize more ty so much i love u my jesus my lord & savior for eternal life 😘❤🙏
Everything I got want because of God, can you prove that God exists, I want to have faith but I doubt that you have the answers I seek.
thank you for always having videos when I need them it's like God's telling you exactly what I'm going threw an some many of us are as well! 🙌👏
Hi Allen, this is really good encouragement and as someone who has recently come back to to the Lord after a time of doubting I really appreciate the information in this video. I'm going to save it to share with anyone I know who may be challenged in their faith. Praise God He is good.
Allen thank your consistency in delivering the Word of God. It is always timely and I thank God for you. I am also passing your videos along hoping people will not.be offended but understand that God loves all and is seeking to get up close with us. Praise God.
Thank you Allen I really needed to hear this.
I don't doubt that Jesus Is God, or the resurrection. My doubt comes when I wonder if some of these promises apply to me specifically. Whether or not I'm hearing God's voice or my own thoughts. Whether or not He is doing something or if it's just coincidence..I have a real problem with the "or maybe it's just a coincidence" train of thought. This leads to feelings of condemnation or rather just not being confident in my salvation. Please pray for me, I need all the prayer I can get
Same
I'm new back to Christianity and I'm hoping that in time I'll be able to love and appreciate Jesus as much as others in Church do. I hope to love God and Jesus more than I fear Them (or is it Him haha). I repented the other day after getting my faith a lot stronger than it was before, but I'm not sure that my faith is actually strong enough that I'm saved.
Thank you brother.
By far my favorite video on your channel yet. Very well done!
Please pray for or me!! I’ve been through this major doubting period for close to two months now. Throughout it I’ve had moments of great joy where I felt Gods presence and very secure in my faith and the next I’m doubting his very existence! I hate it! I do suffer from anxiety so sometimes I wonder if I’m overthinking my ability to believe abs have faith more than the belief itself. Please pray for me if you’re reading this!
Me too how are you now
Thank you so much. I needed to see this.
Thank you for this Allen. I've been looking for videos on this and this one really touched me, moved me and encouraged me.
THE BEST way to prove some doctrine or opinion is to give me some Bible verses, which you did and that I'm thankful for!
Yesss! Amen this encourage me I love this!!! Never thought about it this way thank you so much for explaining this!🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Thank you brother, I needed this video!
Amen to all of this.
Wow.. NEEDED this!! Thank you brother🙏🏽
Brother you are very true😍
You see i saw your video on speaking in tongues & it's really not fully correct. We can speak in tongues that cannot be understood by any man. I hope Jesus would definitely make you more aware about the power of Holy Spirit.
Keep up the good work of our Lord Jesus😍😘😊
I appreciate your reply Amrutha! God bless you and I will continue to do the work! Thank you,
Thank you for this video. This really touched my heart personally.
I love how you make these videos so informative entertaining and quote scriptues.
Thank you Allen.
I’m questioning my faith because I’m scared of there is nothing after death...I’m terrified of death and it makes me feel worse thinking there is nothing
Why are you scared of nothing nothing should be scared about as much as hell i was terrified about believing before when i was a christian im now an agnostic im not afraid of nothing as long as i dont have any feelings of bugs coming through me or anything after if im not cremated
Thank you my brother
Thank you so much! Very good! 😃🙏❤️
Oooo, this is a GOOOOOOOOD video! Love how you broke this down, brother!

Hallelujah
This was a blessing to hear and super helpful
I became born again and reading my Bible nonstop. I would even call off work just to dedicate the day to God and nonstop scripture reading...and then....doubt. I had thoughts "is Jesus really the Messiah?"
"Did Jesus really and truly die for my sins?"
"Is Jesus really the Son of God?"
"Will eternal life be worth it?"
I felt so ashamed to ask these questions since these questions were so crucial to my salvation, but I believe the Holy Spirit is giving me reassurance. I still struggle with some doubt but I just think of what God HAS done for me instead of what God HASN'T done and it usually helps.
and keep your faith and a clear conscience. Some people have not listened to their conscience and have made a ruin of their faith.
1 Timothy 1:19 GNTD
I can not recall a time in my life; that I ever doubted God, or Christ (even in my rebellious season)... However, I have doubts of my salvation every now and then. I always exemine myself; making sure I am still on that narrow path towards Him.
This helped me so much! Thank you for being obedient to God's call!
Amazing advice, thank you Mr Parr. :)
Amen and Amen!
In 2017 I gave my life to christ. But I get severe anxiety attacks begging God to save me I think I've been basing my beliefs on my feelings . Now I will base them off truth I'm starting to believe
My brother in Christ Allen this channel is AWESOME.....Bless you. I just subscribed.
Hey God Bless man. I love yout vids really helpful thank you. Now I'm ready to fight doubt.🙏❤
