Introduction
Confidence!
Confidence is a tricky thing.
Many times confidence is the difference between winning and losing.
Confidence, the belief in one’s self, causes a certain ora about you that others can see and feel just by being around you.
Confidence can be the difference of getting the job or being overlooked.
Having confidence is the difference of success and failure in life and especially in your walk with God.
I want you to take a moment right now and rate your level of confidence toward God and the things of God. that would be things like:
God being pleased with you.
Your faithfulness to overcome sin.
Your confidence to share your faith with others.
Rate your level of Confidence on a scale from 1 to 5. 1 being, “I have no confidence at all.” 5 being “I can conquer the world with my confidence.”
Now what if you could have more confidence in all aspects of your life would you want it; desire it; need it?
This morning I am going to give you the secret sauce for confidence.
God’s recipe passed down from generation to generation on how to be filled with confidence.
Most people today have daddy issues.
We want our fathers to be proud of us.
And when our fathers are proud it builds a bond of strength that give us confidence to tackle all aspects of life.
The problem is most our fathers don’t have any confidence either, so they struggle to build confidence in us.
But, we have a heavenly Father that is full of confidence.
He knows how to build confidence in his children.
In we find God’s secret sauce of how to have confidence toward God and in turn walk in that confidence in all areas.
