When doubting the truth of God's Word, you open the door for Satan to come into your family to “steal, kill and destroy.” (John 10:10) When you don't take God at His Word, you become open to all kinds of wrong philosophies--those belonging to the world and Satan. In Colossians 2:8: Don't let anyone lead you astray with empty philosophy and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the evil powers of this world. But what's just as important is for you to BELIEVE it. Hebrews 4:2 says that when you don't believe the Word of God, it will have “no value” to you. It's up to you to choose to believe it. When you do, the Lord promises to make it effectual for you so you can walk in victory in every area of your life.
When you study the Bible and believe the Word as the words from Living God, you will receive more joy and peace in your life than ever before. But let doubt and unbelief creep in, and you’ll begin to experience depression, anxiety and despair. When you begin to doubt God's Word, you open the door for the enemy to come in and invade your mind with destructive thoughts and attitudes.
One of the most valuable aspects about taking God at His Word is that it will give you stability. Ephesians 5:14-15 : “You will no longer be like children, forever changing your mind about what you believe because someone has told you something different and made the lie sound like the truth. Instead hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ.” Satan is constantly looking for ways he can cause you to doubt God's Word, because he knows that if he can succeed, if he can get you to believe his lies, he can control your life and rob you of the good things that God has in store for you.
Ask God to give you a renewed and steadfast faith in His Word. And if you’re tempted to doubt that The Bible is Gods divine Words remind yourself that your unbelief will cost you a lot more than you’re willing to pay.
