Doubt Hinders Boldness Part 1

I listened to my Joyce Meyers Podcast today she covered the verses:


Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
When the enemy attacks we need put our faith up, and live without doubt! Like when you make a decision doubt comes thereafter. 
  •   Acts 27:14 (AMP)
    14  But soon afterward a violent wind [of the character of a typhoon], called a northeaster, came bursting down from the island.15  And when the ship was caught and was unable to head against the wind, we gave up and, letting her drift, were borne along.16  We ran under the shelter of a small island called Cauda, where we managed with [much] difficulty to draw the [ship’s small] boat on deck and secure it.17  After hoisting it on board, they used supports with ropes to undergird and brace the ship; then afraid that they would be driven into the Syrtis [quicksands off the north coast of Africa], they lowered the gear (sails and ropes) and so were driven along.18  As we were being dangerously tossed about by the violence of the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard;19  And the third day they threw out with their own hands the ship’s equipment (the tackle and the furniture).20  And when neither sun nor stars were visible for many days and no small tempest kept raging about us, all hope of our being saved was finally abandoned.21  Then as they had eaten nothing for a long time, Paul came forward into their midst and said, Men, you should have listened to me, and should not have put to sea from Crete and brought on this disaster and harm and misery and loss.22  But [even] now I beg you to be in good spirits and take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you but only of the ship.23  For this [very] night there stood by my side an angel of the God to Whom I belong and Whom I serve and worship,24  And he said, Do not be frightened, Paul! It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has given you all those who are sailing with you.25  So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith (complete confidence) in God that it will be exactly as it was told me;
    When a storm comes we have to be in COMPLETE CONFIDENCE and say that "I BELIEVE IT WILL BE EXACTLY AS GOD TOLD ME IT WILL BE"
    Romans 4:18 
    18  [For Abraham, human reason for] hope being gone, hoped in faith that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been promised, So [numberless] shall your descendants be. 19  He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah’s [deadened] womb. 20  No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strongand was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God,21  Fully satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised.22  That is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness (right standing with God).23  But [the words], It was credited to him, were written not for his sake alone,24  But [they were written] for our sakes too. [Righteousness, standing acceptable to God] will be granted and credited to us also who believe in (trust in, adhere to, and rely on) God, Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,25  Who was betrayed and put to death because of our misdeeds and was raised to secure our justification (our acquittal), [making our account balance and absolving us from all guilt before God].
    If you keep focus on faith God will see you through!
