Incredible Spoken Word: "Doubt Your Doubts Before You Doubt God"

In this incredible video, Joseph Solomon expresses what it is like to be attacked by deep doubts about your faith, and encourages us to "doubt our doubts before we doubt God." Doubt is such a big issue for Christians, as we often feel guilt for asking tough questions, but we must be honest with God and confront it head on.

"I remember when my little niece ran up to me and told me "we learned about Jesus today!" says Solomon. "And I could tell by her smile she was so excited to learn about this man that she did not quite know yet. But she knew without a doubt for it to be true because after all "Mommy said so."

"That was the first time in my life that I looked into the eyes of a child and I envied them. Because she has no idea what it feels like to doubt. What it feels like to have your entire belief system overload with skepticism."

Solomon recounts moments of doubt that were profoundly frustrating. "I remember sitting in the back row of a cold sanctuary. Crying. Because I desperately wanted what the preacher was saying to be true. But my doubts were preaching a sermon of their own. And the streams of my tears turned into oceans of frustration!" he says.

"Honestly, i 've considered quitting, but where will I go? Back? There's no home for the living in the land of the dead. So I keep pressing forward. Today I have faith but I can't make any promises about tomorrow. I'm surprised I've held on this long," Solomon says. "I'm not questioning you, i 've just got questions. Don't leave me here. Don't leave me."

Solomon passionately demonstrates what God says in response. "My child. Your faith is small enough to fit in the cracks of your palms. I told you, faith the size of mustard seeds can rearrange old landscapes and turn mountains into highways!"

"Have your questions. I'm not telling you to have a blind faith. I'm asking you to consider the blind men who had faith and believed my words before they were even able to see me. Consider the birds who eat from my hand, and do not fall from the sky without my consent. So how much more will I love the one who I died for!"

"Before you doubt me, doubt your doubts!"
