"Doubt Dissolved"
Now let's move out of the physical for a moment, and try to understand what really makes all of our doubt to be dissolved. For, although God is a God of Order, there is One Thing which has no order, because there is no beginning, and there is no end, and that is God's Spirit. To put it in the simplest terms: The Spirit of God has no bounds. So, what does this have to do with, or better yet, what does this do to our measure of Faith? Well; what the Holy Spirit does is to cause a tipping point in the balance of our abilities to endure through any trial or persecution. Faith is what brings us to the point of balance, yet His Spirit is what takes us through. In other words; we are flesh and blood, which is physical; and our Faith is what is used to deal with the physical, but yet, our Faith is not placed in the physical. And when we reach a certain point in our trial or even in the face of death, all doubt is dissolved by His Spirit; and to a certain degree, even all Faith is dissolved also; in other words, it is all His Spirit. Case in point; the stoning of Stephen: Here we see a man, who was lead by the Spirit to proclaim the Truth, and by Faith, he declared to those that were about to stone him, the Truth. Now, some time during this ordeal, he no longer was reliant upon Faith, nor was Faith what was motivating him to continue; but it was all God's Spirit. This is because, as he yielded to God's Spirit, the Spirit of God took over; and it was really no longer Stephen that was that had control of his own words or actions, but it was the Spirit of God; and because God's Spirit was in control, there was no longer the need for Faith, because all doubt was dissolved. This might explain a few things about why after being filled with the Spirit, we sometimes feel weak in our Faith; it is almost like we are brought back to the physical, and then need to adjust back to balance. "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)
