Confidence

When looking at biblical confidence, we are in essence also calming hope, belief, bravery, strength and empower because of the Holy Spirit that resides in me, in you. and not involved. I understand this is not a true statement other wise God's word would be a lie, but the enemy and self knows how to get in the way of God. If God would only force himself on us instead of giving us the gift of free will. As he gave me this word confidence, it's not world confidence saying I got this and I need no one to help or guide or encourage. But rather it is true confidence in God. Ask God what does he have for me today despite circumstances, despite what the human eyes can see. It's a confidence that says I will move with you regardless. This confidence is not a feeling that can be here today and gone tomorrow like the wind, but rather it holds roots that are strong and courageous because of God.

If you were to do a word search in the bible with confidence, you will be over loaded with verses. I went through some of the verse and this is what God spoke to me through His words in regards to confidence....

-We are to get up and move with God, putting all our confidence in Him not us. ( Jud.9:26)

-Confidence that reminds us that God is here to help, He is our refuge adn will fight our battles, but I must believe ( have confidence) that He already has the vistory. ( 2 Chron. 32:8)

As you finish your last Monday in November, I pray that you can rest in God's confidence. Trusting that he has you and your circumstance and He will overcome for good to all those who love, obey and align with His will !

1 John 5:14 14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
