Hi dear clay,
Have missed you at CB. Great blog.
I know exactly what you are talking about. That wily old adversary is always out to rob us of our joy, but ... "For He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." 1 John 4 v 4.
I have these times of doubt too, which that robber of our joy instigates. Then that wonderful grace of God takes over, and all is well again. What great grace and love.
Thank you dear friend, for sharing and letting me know that I am not alone.
Christian love
mumbly.

Oh, thank you for this post and your transparency in sharing these doubts. And Mums, for your response, sharing yours.
Because it happens to me. All of a sudden the thought just fills me, what if none of this is true? Maybe it's not at all! After all, it is kinda ludicrous to think like this.
Then I just melt in shame for having such doubts.
I had no idea that saints like you two had these doubts too. Surely it is the enemy.
Thanks for posting. Wonder why this one didn't make the home page?
YSIC,
Grace

Thanks for being strong enough to be real clay!
My theory is that everyone goes through this, but not everyone have enough courage to be real. I truly commend you for speaking the cries of many of our hearts.
About two years ago, I took a violent and aggressive search to discover why my mind continued to do this craziness. I'd like to share briefly what I learned:
1. Not every thought that comes in my head are mine. If the thought separates me from God, others and myself, it's from an evil spirit. This is when I say out loud, "Go away in Jesus name (Ja.4:7-8), the Lord rebuke you (Jude 1:9), Lord get them away from me. (Mark 9:29)" I do this throughout the day, every day!
2. My repeated thoughts determine my beliefs, and my belief determine my emotions (Rom.12:2). I learned that I have been emotionally up and down all my life is because of my inability to manage my thoughts. Most parents don't train their children to manage their thought life. Once I started bombarding my thoughts with truth all day, and speaking it out loud (Prov.18:21), my life took a wild turn for the better!
I spent 10 months, 10-12 hours a day, studying the Bible, medical journals, and scientific studies. I ended up writing a book about it because it absolutely revolutionized my life. I can't thank the Lord enough for making His word come to life!
