supply of resources from all who trust in and obey Him. Fearing that we will
not have enough is an insult to God who has revealed himself to us.
Believe God is able to supply your needs according to His riches in Christ
Jesus, even when you know not how. Know that God promises to keep his
people alive in famine. This applies spiritually too. God's spiritual resources
for you are limitless, even during times of spiritual drought. IIKings 4:1-7.
Choose to believe that you will always have enough resources to do the Will of God. II Kings 4:43-44. Faith is rooted in a trust in God's witness in scripture as illuminated by His Holy Spirit. One must continue to believe the scripture and
become loyal to it. Develop spiritual 20/20 vision. Choose to believe the Bible
as the absolute word of God. Believe the words of those who proclaim God's
word. trust prophetic "words" brought by Godly men and women. II Chron 20:20. Faith takes God at His word. Do not question His promises. Through
faith we can speak confidently, praising His for promises that will bring
success.Express gratitude for all success and favor. Neh 2:8
The man or woman of God will not seek recognition because he or she knows that God sees and rewards. Know that God will not forget your acts of
righteousness. He will reward them openly in His time. Esther 6:1-11.
Fear is the opposite of faith. it is believing what God says is not true. God
commands us not to be afraid. Faith is able to trust God and not act out in fear.
Fear shows lack of faith in God and His promises. Job 3:25. Rely on the Lord's
protection against verbal attacks and do not fear them. Job 5:21.
God wants us to take Him and His word at face value. Be consoled that God
is everywhere and always present. Psalms 139:7. Be assured that as you continue in Him, the Lord will most certainly fulfill His purpose for you.
Psalm 138:8. Do not fear when God's direction takes a turn you do not
understand. He knows what he is doing. Gen. 12: 1-9. Do not strive to fulfill
God's promises on your own. It always backfires and causes undesired
results. Gen.16 1-4 His nature is to provide, so trust Him that He will do
that He said He will in due season.Faith in God honors Him and results
in your receiving what He intends for you. Judges 4:9.
Belief results in obedience, what we practice provides evidence in our faith.
Faith sees beyond trials and obstacles, knowing God uses them to strengthen
us and shape us into Himself. Our faith should lead us into wanting us to
worship God. II Sam. 7:21. Know that God knows how to care for His servants.
II kings 17:1-9. For He loves us so much that He gave us His only son to die
for us and the blood of a spotless lamb slain for us, to keep us from going to damnation for eternity. This is the kind of God we serve. He wants us to
have faith to know He will take care of you and do that which He said if
we will only believe. His first priority with us is to believe Him. That is what he wants most and foremost. His 2 great motivations of His blessings are faith-
fulness to His Word and the loving generosity of His heart. We need to get
close to Him, as He is wanting that more than anything, because He paid such a high price for us to come live in the Kingdom of Heaven with Him for eternity.
The Lord would say, " There's a gentle rain coming down to wash you. Not
a flood, but a daily rain. The Lord is fixing places in our hearts, deep places
we need to be healed. He is straightening out our families. Walk closely with
me. I want you to come to me and ignite the fire again. I am so pleased you
come to worship me. I love you so much and gave my life for you. A gentle
rain long enough will flood us of all things and cleanse us and heal our
hearts. Our hearts have bruises and wounds He can see. When we get born again
we get a new heart, but there's still darkness still there. A bright light was
shown in the window- a white light. So, come unto me and let me take it
all from you and all your worries and cares. For I careth for you, says
the Lord. For there is no other who loves you as much as I do."
