The doctor says your sick; The bank says your broke; and The world says your crazy!

God's report will I believe. :)
If the doctor's report says I am sick, God's report says, "By His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5)
If the bank's statement says I am broke, God's report says, "My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19), and "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not lack" (Psalm 23:1).
If the world says I am crazy, God's report says, "We have the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16), and " God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7)
When God's Word challenges: "Who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed" (Isaiah 53:1), let us rise up to the challenge and say, "That's me, Lord. I believe Your report. I shall not take heed to the voices of the naysayers. I shall look unto You alone. And I will see Your arm of strength and power working for me, and deliver me from sickness, lack and other troubles. For my righteousness is from You, Lord, therefore no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue that rises up against me in judgment, I will condemn." (Isaiah 54:17) Amen.

God's Word is always more positive than the world, I choose to believe it.

I believe God's word. Therefore when the bank says I'm broke, I have faith that it is either God's will or He will provide, when the doctor says I'm sick, I have faith that God can heal if it is His will, and if it is not His will then I am assured of heaven. When people say I'm crazy I just agree, I'm crazy for Jesus.

I will always believe what Jesus said, is saying, and will say.

I put my faith in God not man. God can do more then man can do. only God has power over life and death.

Hebrews 4:12-16
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Philippians 4:4-13
4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Grace and Peace!

I don't need a doctor for me to know that I'm sick, I don't need a bank for me to know that I'm broke, and I don't need the world for me to know that I'm crazy.
I'm going to believe the Bible above everything else. None of those three statements you put in additional details would contradict God's Word.

I choose to believe the word of God and the "still small voice." (Holy Spirit)

i will always believe God over a fallible human. and being sick or being broke have no bearing on my life because my life does not stop after this world, and of coarse the world is going to think I'm crazy because I'm not of this world, and someday everything that is of this world will pass away.
