My Name is Dorsey Ross, and I am an Ordained Minister with the Assemblies of God New York District. I started this blog to give you a little insight into my life, and into what God has done in my life. I hope that these blogs will be an encouragement, and an inspiration to you. I hope you leave knowing that God has a plan and a purpose for your life.

Do Not Doubt
John 20:27-29, says Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”
Their are times, when I am trying to call pastors, and looking up where some of these churches are, and I wonder, God how am I going to get their?, God thats a very small town thats not going to work?. Am I doubting, yes I am doubting, and thats the three words I want to point out that Jesus tells us not to do, He tells us DO NOT DOUBT. When I doubt, I am not only doubting the possibilities of what God can and will do, but I am doubting the move of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of the pastor's who will hear my testimony, and pray about what it is that God wants them to do. God not only tells us not to doubt, but believe in the Gospel of John, but also in
Mark 11:21-24, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you. So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
And also
Matthew 21:21-22 Jesus answered them, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done. Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.”
When we have family members, who are sick, we believe the doctor's and doubt the person's recovery more than we believe what God tells us, which is do not doubt, but believe and have faith in Him, Mark 11:21-24. We give up to easily when someone is sick, because we do not see the healing, we forget that whatever happens that God causes all things to work out for the good of his people, and according to his plan. Romans 8:28. We can't force someone to come to salvation, but we can't doubt, that someone won't either, we just need to pray and believe that with God all things are Possible.
So whatever your dealing with, when you hit that wall, and you start to doubt, and start to question what it is that God has for you, or what it is that He is going to do in your life, don't doubt but believe.
John 20:27 says Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.”
