John the Baptist had heard the voice of Father God speak from heaven saying that Jesus was His Beloved Son. He had the revelation that Jesus was the Messiah. He proclaimed when asked if he himself was the Christ that he was not. He is the one who bore witness that Jesus was the Lamb of God. He baptized Jesus, saw the Spirit descend like a dove upon Him and humbled himself before Jesus as Lord.
John knew exactly who Jesus was, but when he was cast into prison, when he was threatened, when he faced persecution and death, he questioned what he knew to be the truth. As a result, he sent his disciples to Jesus to ask Him what he already knew. How did Jesus answer? Jesus answered him with the Word. He reminded John of what the scriptures said.
We can know the truth but find ourselves in a trying time, in a dark place, in an unpleasant situation, in a time of trial and as a result begin to question what we already know. Is that where you are? Has the Lord already spoken to you about a matter but the circumstances around you are "speaking" otherwise? Is your faith being tested? The answer for you is the same one Jesus gave John. Go back to the Word. Remind yourself of what God has already said to you. Renew your mind with what you know already to be the truth. Meditate on that Word and let it get into your heart, spirit and mind and drive away the doubt.
Have a great day. When what you already have heard from God is tested, and the enemy is trying to convince you other wise, go back to God's Word and listen again to what He has said.
