RESTING IN YOUR FAITH IN HIM
May 11
C
hildren of the Promise, this is the first time that I use that title
for you! You must understand how very important it is to your Father
that promises made, and promises kept are at the center of the full
integrity and honor of God your Savior. People who think little of
their promises to others (as well as those to God) will have a life
of constant misery and failure in this world. From heaven a word goes
forth to you. Standing behind that holy word of promise is all the
weight and force of your Father in Glory to deliver the results of
that promise "straight to your front door!" The Lord says,
"You have seen well for I am ready to perform my word (to you)!"
(Jeremiah 1:12 NKJV) It is very urgent that you place deeply within
your heart and inside the structure of your faith in God the belief
that once God has spoken any word to you, He will stand by His word
to make it happen for you. His full integrity and character is thrown
behind keeping His promises. This should cause your heart to rejoice
and it should cause you to rest peacefully in the presence of your
God who is so adamant about fulfilling His word to you! "If we
confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (I John 1:9) It is a
pity that some of my children have such little faith in this simple
promise that they constantly invite condemnation and guilt spirits of
the Evil One to beat them up over the thought of the work not being
done. It is time for you to leave this lie behind you and go on to
better things in the Lord. Face the lies head on and prove that you
have both a fondness and a trusting love for your Father that He will
keep you in His loving care all the days of your life. Say that to
your Father! Repeat it until the comfort of the idea of your
assurance becomes a quiet, peaceful part of your belief and faith in
Him. Children of God should not strive (struggle constantly with the
things of simple faith), you need to move forward in your Christian
experience and trust to the point that you leave these things behind
you and go on to the issues which prove your maturity and usefulness
in "bearing fruit" for the Kingdom of God! Don't you agree?
Prayer
Father, help me! I have played these silly childish games with my own faith in you. When I read your promises, they become a direct word to my own heart and faith. Then I know that what you say to me is as good as pure gold. I can take it to the Bank of Heaven, and know that I have gained in every way from trusting myself to you and your Faithfulness toward me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen!
