The Cure for Unbelief

David Wilkerson (1931-2011)

October 19, 2023

When I searched my reference books and found ways to “cure” unbelief, none of them touched me. So I asked God for something simple, and he gave me two thoughts on how I can rid my heart of unbelief.

First, lay hold upon every worry, fear and burden. Take them all to Jesus and leave them on his shoulders. “Casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7, NKJV). This is God’s personal invitation to you. “Put it all on me! Do not carry it one hour longer. I care about everything that is happening to you, and I am big enough to take it all for you.”

Aren’t you thankful that God is never overloaded? His shoulders can carry every care. He urges us to give it all to him. “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he shall sustain you; he shall never permit the righteous to be moved” (Psalm 55:22). Go down your list right now. “God, I give you all of these. Take this burden, that relationship, that problem.” Be fully convinced that he cares!

Second, launch out in full faith on the written word of God. Take up the Lord’s challenge to live by his word. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). You must be able to say, “I’m going to live and die by God’s word to me.”

How is it that we can trust God’s word for our eternal salvation but not for our daily needs and problems? We can believe him for the hardest part. Why is it harder for us to believe for help, guidance and power over sin? “Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 1:24). God promised this to you, so let him take on the burden of keeping you.

Go to the Lord and challenge his Word. Tell him you are going to stake your life on it. Show him you trust his every word and be blessed!
