What
is Double-Mindedness? Doubt and Unbelief
opposite of Faith in God.
James 1:1-8..."a double
minded man is unstable in all his ways."
In the Strong's, the word "unbelief"
means to halt between two opinions, to waver,
to withdraw from, to oppose. The root issue
of double-mindedness is a spirit of rejection
and spirit of fear, fear of man and fear
of failure. Other spirits connected is doubt
and unbelief in god or in self.
Double-mindedness is Doubt
and unbelief and irresoluteness in our communication
with God short-circuit our relationship
with Him. Before asking God for anything,
we should first ask ourselves questions
that directly bear on our prayers:
Is what I am asking according to His
will? The apostle John tells us why this
is important: "Now this is the confidence
that we have in Him, that if we ask anything
according to His will, He hears us"
(1 John 5:14, emphasis added throughout).
Are my attitude and life in tune with
the will of God? John stresses the role
of obedience: "And whatever we ask
we receive from Him, because we keep His
commandments and do those things that
are pleasing in His sight" (1 John
3:22).
Are my motives self-centered or God-centered?
James says be careful what you pray for:
"You ask and do not receive, because
you ask amiss, that you may spend it on
your pleasures" (James 4:3).
Double-minded faith is believing
in God without performing the actions, or
the "works," that reflect that
belief. James wanted his readers to know
that faith means more than just belief in
God. Every Christian should be aware that
"faith without works is dead"
(verse 20). James challenges us to show
tangible evidence of our beliefs: "Show
me your faith without works, and I will
show you my faith by my works" (verse
18).
Belief is not enough, he
says. "Even the demons believe-and
tremble!" (verse 19). It is much easier
to tremble at the thought of God's existence
than it is to fear to disobey God. A classic
example is ancient Israel. The Israelites
quaked with fear before God's awesome presence
when God gave them the Ten Commandments
(Exodus 20:18-19). But, when they could
no longer see the evidence of God's nearness
to them, they fabricated a golden calf (Exodus
32) while they should have been trembling
at the explicit instructions God had revealed
to them.
Prayer!
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I confess
my doubt and unbelief and all doubt in my
generational line.
I confess that this doubt and unbelief
has made me unstable and has given me
double-mindedness.
I confess that the source of this double-mindedness
has been pride in my life and in my generational
line.
I also repent for all intellectualism,
ungodly reasoning, logic, and humanism.
I repent of caring more
about man’s approval than God’s
Truth.
I repent of my own self-effort &
pride. In humility, I receive Your love,
Your mercy and Your grace.
I choose to be no longer conformed to
the pattern of this world but to be transformed
by the renewing of my mind so that I might
prove what is the good, acceptable, and
perfect will of God. I will do nothing
out of selfish ambition or vain conceit
but I will walk in humility,
considering others better than myself.
I choose to resist the devil.
I choose to submit myself to God as
my Lord and Master and to draw near to
Him. Lord, will you help me to wash my
hands and to
purify my heart.
Father, thank you for giving me the
mind of Christ so I will be like Him,
becoming like a servant.

Deliverance
free teaching online section of Journey2Wholeness at journey2wholeness.org.,
a Christian healing and deliverance ministry in Dallas, Fort Worth,
Texas area. Jesus came to set the captives free - deliverance
and healing but he sent his followers to help minister biblical
deliverance and healing to those who are in spiritual bondage by
setting the captives free from the snares of the Devil to bring
about physical healing, emotional healing and spiritual healing
and even relational healing and financial healing.
Journey2Wholeness reveals truth and recent errors on spiritual
warfare, deliverance and healing ministry principles. Many in
the church are becoming snared in the church through end-time
false doctrine (new age movement) that leads to sad consequences
of spiritual bondage opening doors to demonic
oppression, demon possession, strongholds,
curses, sickness and disease physically, mentally, emotionally
and spiritually. Free teachings online - deliverance and spiritual
warfare.
Journey2Wholeness teaches and ministers to the body of Christ
to set the captives free. We teach about open doors and taking
responsibility. Journey2Wholeness is a non-denominational ministry
to teach Truth that brings true freedom. Learn about spiritual
roots of disease, eliminate it by applying deliverance warfare
prayer, healing prayers, and other areas of deliverance and healing
ministry, such as casting out demons, binding demons, tearing
down strongholds (wrong beliefs), and breaking generational curses
(ancestral curses) which are a result from generational sins
according to Deut. 27 and Deut 28.
Most of all stay healed and delivered by learning right
biblical teachings through our iSchool class.
