I am confident in God

 

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

 

Hebrews 10:22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

 

Confidence comes from faith in God. It is not of yourself. It is not trusting in yourself or deeds of the flesh (meaning things of us) but in relying totally on God. It’s walking in faith not looking at so-called reality but seeing in faith what we believe God has already given us. What we receive on earth we have already received in heaven. God has to say yes before we receive it and there must be a walk of faith to that gift to get there. So, we must live in that knowledge. If you have asked something from God and believe it then live accordingly.

 

Now, all things we receive are by the grace of God. Without His grace by which we were saved we could not have been saved (by Jesus) through faith when He called us. After that, without more grace we cannot even receive what we do by faith, as it’s still a gift. Our gifts are pure unmerited rewards and kindness from God, through faith for making the little growth we have… then more growth by faith and more blessings and many, many blessings are pure grace by His great love. By grace through faith we have access to God’s kingdom and His gifts, by the Way of His Son Jesus Christ.

 

I do not worry about how many people will see the pages I write. If it’s no one today it may be a thousand people next year or ten thousand… or just two. I trust God that what I am doing is His will and I have 100% faith that He will use this site and what He has me to write for His kingdom. Doing what you know is God’s will is never in vane. God does not waste your time. He multiplies it. He makes it more effective and actually removes time wasting obstacles. He takes what you do in the Spirit and multiplies it. God’s Word goes forth. It is never stagnant. If He is working in you, His Word goes to you and then out of you. His works in you will make a difference in the lives of others. Will you see it? A few times but not to the extent that it actually has an effect. You may see a glimpse of that in faith, as I see this site and what I write. But it’s still just a glimpse. I see in faith the great things He hath done. Now, I don’t mean to say that I see what He will do but I know there are great things that will happen for anything I do in Christ Jesus… When I give someone a quarter to make a phone call. When I speak kindly to someone. When I tell someone what Christ has done for them. When I make a sacrifice for someone and am obedient to God’s Word, then great things are done for His kingdom, if I ever see them on earth or not… because one day I will see them, when I fully know as I am now fully known.

 

I used to think I positioned pages on the Internet (for good search results). Even though I gave God the credit for the results, I was not giving Him the credit for the writing of the words for the end result. I was totally wrong. I did not position anything, ever. It was all God. I am God’s from before the time I was conceived till forever… and all I do and think from the time I woke up today until the time I wake up tomorrow. It’s all His. Now, understanding that I am led by His Spirit, I do not even try to position pages. I know I am to just write the words KNOWING that is its God’s Spirit writing through me (not like the Word of God was written, because I do make errors, and He shows me that, but somehow I know it’s not of me). I trust God in all things, knowing that by what I write, He will bring the right person to the right page at the right time. Now, how could I ever do that? I could not. And, I do not even try. In faith I write with His help and in faith I know He will do, with the site He has entrusted to me, what He wills.

 

Today I was learning how to keep my mouth shut. How to balance the knowledge of what I have been through with the knowledge that speaking about it would not be beneficial, but then something had to be said. Thinking, “what do I say? How do I say what I must say in an appropriate manner to edify?” I had to see in faith, by God’s Spirit, that this is just a test for me and see what I am being tested in, then it was easier to see what must be said in a edifying way. It is not being deceptive but rather becoming all things to all people. You hit a common ground for God. That was kind of off the subject.

 

Without faith it is impossible to please God. It is impossible to grow as a Christian without faith too. Believe in what you know God has given you. Do not doubt… and if you do, ask for His grace and say, “I am sorry for my doubt. I trust you! Please forgive me.”
