Let go of doubt and trust in the Lord


By Linda Hilton-Ware

God wants the body of Christ to walk in supernatural faith, expecting the supernatural. Hebrews 11:6: "Without faith, it is impossible to please him."

When I talk to born-again believers and they tell me they are walking in faith, yet they are trusting the things of the world, I then realize they do not understand the true meaning of faith, and my spirit man is grieved.

The opposite of faith is doubt and the opposite of doubt is faith. And you must come out of the world and the world system and see things the way that Jesus does. You have to come out of the boat and walk on the water.

Jesus walked on the water, but so did Peter, until he doubted. You cannot have one foot in the boat and one in the water. If you say you are trusting the Lord for your healing, then you will not be going to man for treatments. You are either trusting the Lord or you are trusting man. Psalms 118:8 declares, "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put your confidence in man."

I received divine healing in 1993 because I stood on God's word that tells me in Psalms 103:3 that the Lord heals all my diseases. Since my healing in '93, I have not had as much as an aspirin. But you must speak the word of God and believe the word of God. I tell people this, there are five steps to answered prayers: You must ask, have faith, believe for it to happen, claim it, and most importantly thank God before it happens. Because when you thank him for something you have not yet received, that is faith and that is what moves him in our behalf. That is powerful if you can just grab on to that.

Supernatural faith will bring in the supernatural for you. I have actually had an angel come and talk with me five times since God called me to ministry. Two of them disappeared right before my eyes. Hebrews 13:2 says, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." You just never know who you are talking to. God has also blessed me in supernatural financial ways as well by trusting him and believing his word. When I was healed in 1993, I stood on faith and the word of God. I took no treatments from man and no drugs, I just told the Lord that I knew he died on the cross for my sins and for my infirmities and that I was going to trust him for the "manifestation" of my healing to come forth. And that is the key to receiving.

Childlike faith is what God desires for his people. Children believe what you tell them. They don't question it, they just accept it. And when you tell them that you are going to do something, they believe it and expect it. If you will feed your faith today, you will starve your doubt. And you can walk in your victory. God desires for you to walk in supernatural faith.
