What are you saying yes to? Do you understand that yes is a word of agreement? Are you saying yes to God? Are you telling Him yes, I will serve you? Are you telling Him yes, I will obey you? Are you giving God your yes or are you saying yes to the ways of the world?
God is not looking for us to waiver. As a matter of fact, He has said in His Word that we are to be hot or cold. He said if we are lukewarm, He will spew us out of His mouth. Understand, your yes to God needs to be definite. When something is definite, it is clearly stated and not vague or doubtful. God does not want you to walk in doubt or fear when it comes to serving Him.
The world and the worlds ways are a master at presenting you with questions. One of the main things that questions are meant to do is bring about doubt and debate. To have doubt means to be uncertain and to lack conviction. Doubt will also cause you to walk in fear because you are unsure about what you said you have faith in. The one thing in your life that should never be up for debate is God. Don’t allow the world and the ways of the world to cause you to be in doubt and debate the validity of who God is and what He can and will do for you.
We have to understand that the devil is at work in the world and from the beginning in the garden with Adam and Eve, his tactic has always been to ask questions that will cause you to doubt what God has said. That is the same tactic that he is using today. He is raising questions about who God is and what God has said. He is raising questions about identity. Not only about who we are in God but about gender and about race. He is raising questions that will cause those who are not strong and allowing God to lead them to make the wrong choices in life.
Every thought we have leads to a choice we must eventually make. Always let your choices be based on the Word of God and not the emotions that are being produced by what you see and hear in the world.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
