Navigating Forward With Confidence/Rashea@LLO2 Academy
I know that life sometimes can shake your confidence. There's no guarantees. So, we are groomed to believe.
However, I don't 100% agree with that. God's Word is a guarantee, and everything in the Word of God is a guarantee. When you live your life based on the Word of God, you will have what God said within It.
God's Word is not only filled with historical stories about people's journey's of life and faith. God's Word is full of biblical and historical stories of people's lives that were shaped by faith in God and the Word of God. God's Word is alive.
God's Word is filled with divine principles that are guaranteed to transform our lives. "Now faith IS the very substance (methods, good imaginations, insight, knowledge, wisdom, precepts, molecules, divine gene) of things desired and the evidence of things yet not seen but exist and will become tangible eventually," (Hebrews 11:1).
"The just shall live by faith," (Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11). As Christian's, especially, our lives are centered around Jesus, our Christian faith and faith IN Jesus. Without faith, we cannot please God (Hebrews 11:6).
Faith is our firm foundation. The same faith we utilized to accept Jesus, is the same faith we must utilize in life, day by day; moment by moment. Once we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we don't always sit around questioning the authenticity of our Christianity and faith that Jesus actually saved us from a habitual life of sin. We just start walking in our conversion.
We confidently proceed in our Christianity by changing our habits and behavior. We renew our minds with God's Word and become more mindful of our thoughts and the decisions we are making. We are less careless. We develop and build an inner awareness of Jesus and those around us.
When God says, He's going to fulfill His Word, then He's going to fulfill His Word. It may not always be like we hoped or initially had in mind, but it's going to get done. Why? It's going to get done, because it's a guarantee.
It's a divine law. God has to do it, because Isaiah 55:11 informs us, "God's Word will not return to Him unaccomplished and without producing any effect. It will accomplish that which He pleases and purposes. God's word will prosper in the very thing for which He sent it."
God cannot lie. God cannot break a promise. He is the God of His Word.
We must confidently proceed FORWARD in this divine truth. Tell yourself, "No matter what, it's going to get done." Hallelujah!
The same faith that keeps me saved says... "God's Word concerning me is going to get done." The duration of all creation around me says... "God's Word concerning me is going to get done."
When we hear, "Hold on to your faith." Now hear, "Maintain the same confident assurance in God that you have in the daily belief and evidence of your salvation." Amen?
So... This is faith?
AMEN! I actually understand the practicality of this divine truth now. In knowing, confidently PROCEED.
