Mind, Character and Personality, Volume 2 - Ellen G. White

1904. (Selected Messages 2:254.)
No Excuse for Talking Discouragement.—
“The Father hath delivered us from the power of
darkness” (Colossians 1:13). If this is true, what
excuse then have we for talking discouragement
and unbelief and doubt—drawing darkness around
us as a mantle? Let us roll back the dark shadow of
doubt, casting it aside to be borne by Satan, the
originator of all doubt and discouragement. He is
seeking to cast his hellish shadow across our
pathway. Our faith must penetrate the dark cloud of
doubt and unbelief, taking hold of the arm of Christ
beyond.—MS 102, 1901.
How Ellen White Repulsed the Shadow of
Doubt.—When Satan casts his hellish shadow
athwart my pathway, I do not look at it or talk of it
and glorify the devil by talking of him and his
power and what a hard time I am having. No, I
cleave right through the shadow, and by faith take
hold of Jesus Christ. By beholding we “are
changed into the same image from glory to glory.”
Talk faith. Every doubt you express is a seed sown,
