God is faithful to His word and He watches over it to perform it. When we pray according to His will, we can be confident that He hears us and answers us. 1 John 5:14-15. But sometimes we need to enforce what we have prayed by speaking His word with authority and resisting the enemy’s lies. Jeremiah 1:12 says “God hastens His word to perform it.” That means He is eager and swift to fulfill His promises. We can cooperate with Him by declaring His word over our lives and situations, and by standing firm in faith until we see its manifestation in our lives.
“Let us hold fast to the confession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23. These scriptures have propelled me to stretch my faith in God during some very unpredictable times in my life, but God was not only at work during those times, I later learned, He was pruning me and building my spiritual character and muscle. Strengthening my Faith in Him, so I would have a memory of His track record the next time I faced difficulty.
“Faith, mind you, is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not yet seen.” Hebrews 11:1. We are instructed, nevertheless, to make declarations and decrees according to scripture in FAITH. We must strengthen our convictions and subject our minds to the Holy Spirit (Romans 12:2) and believe that we are the righteousness of God (Roman3;22) and it is His will to prosper His children. Joshua 1:8
Let me encourage you to trust God, although it may not seem easy right now, the Holy Spirit will help you. “Hope in the Lord, let your soul find rest in Him; our hope comes from Him. Truly He is our rock and our salvation; He is our fortress, We will not be shaken.” Psalm 62:5-6.
We must only believe..
In His Service,
