F.A.I.T.H.
Note: The word faith is one of those interchangeable words which can be communicated as a noun or a verb.
There is one element that we must possess if we are going to walk in obedience to God. This is verified in Hebrews 11:6; “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”. .
Faith involves vision. Proverbs 29:18a states: “Where there is no vision, the people perish:”
Therefore if we are going to please God; and walk with a purpose – we must exercise faith which is expressed through vision.
One of the goals of the enemy is to get us to doubt the promises of God – and not walk by faith; or/and to have no outlook for the future; no vision.
Therefore to make certain that we continue to walk in our God given vision we must view faith as our: Firm, Assurance, In, Trials & Hardships.
So when I have faith in God; I am able to have the faith of God. When I have the faith in God, He is my “FIRM ASSURANCE IN TRIALS & HARDSHIPS”!
It should matter not what we may encounter in a given day; if we allow God to be our F.A.I.T.H. we will have the ability to work through every phase of our vision. We must never forget that the enemy has launched every diabolical plot, plan and scheme for our demise. However, without regards to anything that he proposes – we have the ultimate victory! Whatever he does, we must have the firm assurance he is no match for us –when we stand in the Lord.
Personally declare the following:
- When my faith is firm – I’ll STAND steadfast, and unmovable. As the Message Bible states: “stand your ground, and don’t hold back”. (1 Corinthians 15:58)
- When my faith has assurance – I’m certain and convinced of who God is, what he will do and that I will always prevail. (Romans 8:28)
- When trials present themselves in my life, I will remember that Romans 8:37 told me that I am more than a conqueror.
- When hardships occur – I will not permit them to cause me to become dishearten or overly concerned. I must expect them to come. John 16:33 has already informed me that they would come – but I will overcome them.
If we are going to stand as the victorious warriors that we are; we must daily “gear up” with our spiritual weapons. Now is not the time to become weary in your well doing. Remember your battle may be long – but the key to your endurance is to have F.A.I.T.H. ; express F.A.I.T.H. and to tell others about your “FIRM ASSURANCE IN TRIALS & HARDSHIPS”!
“And they overcame ……… .by the word of their testimony;” Revelation 12:11
