Overcome Unbelief

"You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.  So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]."  Isaiah 26:3-5 AMP


Fix your eyes on Him.  (see also Excel Still More: Concentrate on Jesus )
And relentlessly overcome any and all unbelief.


      Ask Him today (don't wait to get around to it) to search you and to reveal to you any and every way unbelief has crept its way into your daily life and into your honest thinking.  And then use the divinely powerful weapons you have been given to destroy and take captive every thought or attitude or any sense of hopelessness that does not line up with what God says.


"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts;"  Psalm 139:23


"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.  We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,.."  2 Corinthians 10:3-5   
  
      Be in the Word.  As we are daily bombarded with the false wisdom of this world, we must be in His Word to know if our thoughts and our beliefs are lining up with His truth. 


      Believe what He proclaims as truth.  Contend earnestly (even in your own mind and daily life) for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. (Jude 1:3)


Make your thoughts obedient to God's truth.  Overcome unbelief.
