Confident in Him

We have been given by God the ability by his grace to build our lives a firm foundation for victory

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV)

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Your victory has been secured in Christ and based upon your faith in him you have overcome

we have been given Overcoming faith

Our Father in heaven designed your faith to defeat the enemy

No matter what is happening around you

No matter what is coming against you

God has given you everything that you need to live an overcoming, victorious life

You have been given faith to overcome all things

It is not faith that comes by observing the circumstances

Faith does not examine the possibility and then determine Do I believe.

It is is faith born from the Spirit of God

It is faith quickened to you through the power of abiding in the word

A victorious overcoming life is not automatic.

It is a result of your commitment to build a firm foundation

Five ingredients that are necessary for and are the foundation for victory

1. Committed to the Word

2. Committed to prayer

3. Committed to seek God

4. Committed to praise & thanksgiving unto God

5. Committed to stand

We have been brought into a place in the divine purpose of God where we are able to completely surrender to his Word allowing it the ability to transform our lives and lift us up to a place where his Glory fills our every step

Your commitment to these things births within your heart confidence

Confidence

Confidence -the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust.

An assurance of mind or firm belief in the integrity, stability or veracity of another, or in the truth and reality of a fact.

the state of feeling certain about the truth of something.

a feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities.

So there are two areas where we must have absolute confidence.

1. Confident in God 2. Confident in yourself

We know that we can be confident in God because we understand who he is

Who is your God?

Our God is God

He is the faithful God

He Keeps his covenant

He keeps his mercy

We have a covenant with God

He is the all powerful God with whom nothing is to hard

This is your confidence in God - Faithful to his Children he has the power and the desire to move mightily in your behalf

Confident in who you are in Him

You are righteous and you are holy

Now in His righteousness and his holiness we are justified and we have peace

The Greek form used here depicts absolute confidence — that is, one who is doubly persuaded.

You could say that this person is convinced to the core — rock-solid certain about what he believes or feels.

He is so completely persuaded and trustful of what he believes that no element of doubt remains.

In understanding that Jesus has made us righteous we receive a boldness to come to God knowing that we have been given complete access to the Father, confident that he will never turn us away

fearlessly, confidently, boldly

My heart does not condemn me.

I have confidence toward God

and whatever I ask I receive of Him because I keep his commandments and I do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
