Faith and confession do
not make God’s promises to us come to pass.
To receive anything from God we must put our trust in Him, not our words
and action. First and foremost we must
believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek
Him. Our words and actions are
important, but they can only reflect the relationship that we already have
established with God as a father and with Jesus Christ. Our eyes must be on Him and His faithfulness,
not our words or actions.
The Lord once spoke to my
heart concerning confession of the Word.
He said, “to merely quote the Word without having faith in the heart is
nothing more than a chant.” Faith in the
heart comes only by knowing the One who is the Originator of all things. Our faith is only as strong as our
relationship with God, our creator, and with Jesus Christ. How well do we know Him? How much do we trust Him?
God is the source, the
origin of all life. Out of His great
power, out of His great knowledge, out of His great presence, He created the
heavens and the earth, taking that which was in utter darkness and chaos and
brought forth light and order. He still
does the same today for those who put their trust in Him. He brings his light and His order into those
areas of our lives that are dimly lit and perhaps even in complete
darkness. It’s during those times that we cannot see that our trust
in Him is essential. It is those times
that faith in our hearts towards God will see us through until His promises to
us manifest.
