It's a process and it takes time.  It won't happen overnight but I'll try to explain it on here.  Okay, practice singles, doubles and triplets with your right foot.  Practice with a metronome or one of your favorite Gospel CD's.
Make sure you are sitting comfortable on the drum throne and that you are balanced and relaxed.  Make sure that you are wearing appropriate foot wear for playing.  Make sure that your pedal is at a comfortable setting. (Usually Medium Spring tension to Med. Tight - some people use it a little under Med. Tension)  If you are a heel up or down player, erase that out of your mind.  Everything you do heel up, you must do heel down.  It'll develop your ability to play the bass drum dynamically.

You can also play a Samba Pattern with your right foot. Just make sure you stay comfortable and when you feel the burn in your leg, STOP and Relax.  DO NOT over practice.  The point is not to hurt yourself but to develop your muscles so that they won't get tired so that you can play at fast tempos.(Endurance)  Your Doubles and Triples will come though.  You must be pacient.

You have to be consistant and remain relaxed. The more relaxed you are the more consistant you will be.

Youhave to develop the ability to do tension-release technique repeatedly. Let the beater rebound and catch the rebound with the motion for the next hit.

Get a bass drum practice pad and work on that with the metronome and work on Triplets.

Like all the others said, it takes practice. I can't tell you exactly how to do it because everyone seems to have different ways of doing doubles. A thing that helps me is wearing a tennis shoe. Make sure it's a tennis shoe that you can tie kind of tight. The church shoe that I have is to big and bulky, so I have to get something that I can bounce off. I'm not saying that it's the only way because I saw someone do like 26 back-to-back doubles without a shoe. Well, consider everything that's been said.
