For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10).
In Mark 11:23 Jesus said, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; AND SHALL NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” From this scripture, we understand that doubting in your heart dissipates faith. Your mind may raise doubts and say, “How do you think it’s going to work?” That doesn’t mean you’ve doubted in your heart. Faith will work in your heart, even whilst there’re doubts in your mind. The doubt that messes up your faith is the one that comes from your heart.
When arguments, theories, and reasonings arise in your mind against what you’ve believed and laid hold of by faith, all you need do is pull them down with God’s Word (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Declare boldly and loudly that those things your spirit has taken possession of are yours already, and no devil can take them away from you. On the other hand, if there’s doubt in your heart, it’ll nullify your faith and cause you to lose what your faith hitherto possessed. What you need at such a time is to get more information from God’s Word about the subject and remain steady and unflinching in your faith until you have the desired results. Faith comes to your heart through God’s Word, therefore, fill your heart with the Word of God and there’ll be no place for doubt.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your Word that inspires faith in my spirit. With my spirit, I lay hold of eternal life and the blessings that salvation in Christ has consummated for me. Nothing can cheat me of your blessings, because I’ve laid possession with my spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

James 1:6-8
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Romans 4:19-21
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
