Two of the greatest hindrances to the believer's prayer life are doubt and unbelief. Although they are similar, they are two different things.

Doubt is the thief of God's greater blessings. It keeps a man in a state of separation from Him.

Some men doubt that there is a God. They doubt that He will perform His Word in response to their prayers. As a result they do not respond to God's Word. This hinders His power in their behalf.

Doubt comes from ignorance of God's Word. For example, so many people have the idea that God will no longer heal. They think that He is not interested in their financial affairs. Consequently, their prayers will be hindered.

God has given us a way to keep our minds renewed. It is through the knowledge of His Word. We can fellowship with Him, find out His attitude and act accordingly.

For instance, a man determines that it is God's will to heal him. When he prays according to God's Word, he can be sure God will move in his behalf, thus expelling the force of doubt.

Unbelief is when a man knows there is a God, yet does not believe His Word. He knows what the Bible says, but he has chosen to believe what he can see and feel instead. This will definitely hinder his prayer life.

In order to expel doubt and unbelief, you must make God's Word the final authority in every matter. Do not allow what religious tradition says or what you think about it to be the deciding factor.

Pray according to the will of God and believe you receive when you pray. God's Word is His will. He does not will one thing and say something else.

God cannot lie. Refuse to be moved by anything except what God's Word tells you. When you pray, expect things to change. God's Word will not fail.
