Encouragement
Dear friend,
We may conveniently equate faith with prompt, positive action, or even absolute obedience. Yet, Confidence is one of the vital organs in the definition of absolute faith. Another vital part of faith is Boldness. Still, another is Positive Expectation. Your expectation is your faith. God doesn't like His children approaching people or life's issues trembling, wavering and in confusion. Neither does he want us approaching Him looking pious, pompous or primitive! We know that God loves and cares about us, therefore He'll always defend, protect and provide for us, when we start trusting and stop fretting, worrying and being timid! This is what to do; PRAY AND MOVE! That's how to meet and move the awesome God Almighty to work for you. There's no greater privilege. Hallelujah!
Romans 8:15.
So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful, trembling slaves. Instead, you received God�s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, �Abba, Father.�
1John5:14,15.
And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.
Hebrews 6:17,18.
God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.
See also 2Timothy 1:7,8; Romans 8:14-17.
Faith in the Word of God is referred to as a shield. A shield is a weapon of defense, defending us from the onslaught, attacks, discouragement, and buffeting of Satan our enemy. Absolute faith in God's Word shields us as we boldly, confidently walk through the valley of the shadow of death into our Promised Land and great destiny as more than conquerors! Through scriptures, God keeps telling us, FEAR NOT! Look up those scriptures stated up here. Speak them out loud to your hearing until you know God is talking to you. Stay away from bad news littered all over the news media, movies, and agents and prophets of doom. Fill and renew your mind with the positive, powerful promises of God, then take action towards that divine vision and dream the Holy Spirit has planted in your heart, and it shall definitely come to pass for you because not an iota of God's Word will return to Him void. Now, pray and move, that's the type of faith that pleases God. Hallelujah!
Enjoy a marvelous day in God's awesome presence.
Apostle Steve Adonai.
