·
Faith is acting like God is telling the truth.
·
Active faith is a shield.
·
Faith is not foolishness. It may look like it to the world, though.
·
Whatever God has called me to, He will carry me
through.
·
God’s call will sound irrational because His
thoughts are not ours.
·
When the dots don’t connect, but we do His
bidding anyway, that’s faith!
·
God is sustaining universes not yet discovered!
·
The main antagonist of faith is fear.
·
The fiery darts of the enemy are mostly sent to
distract, not kill. I don’t want to be
so caught up fighting fires that I never step out of the boat onto the water.
This week’s book work taught me:
·
Faith without works is useless (Jas 1:20).
·
Be a woman of faith, not just a woman who talks
about faith.
·
Faith is confidence in what we hope for and
assurance of what we don’t see (Heb 11:1).
·
Faith is when I choose to act in accordance with
truth despite the fact that I can’t see what the outcome will be.
·
I choose to live with unwavering confidence in
God and His promises to me.
·
I will walk forward in accordance with the truth
of His Word and His personal directives that align with Scripture.
·
I will push past the fear or doubts that seek to
paralyze me with insecurity.
·
I choose to follow where God leads.
·
I trust He will take care of the rest.
·
Bigger faith isn’t the answer. I just need to realize how big my God is.
·
My level of faith is tied to my perception of
God.
·
God is faithful.
·
Anything the Lord asks of me, I should follow
Peter’s example in Lk 5:5 – “…but because you said so…” I will.
·
I need to be willing to drop everything and
follow Jesus (Lk 5:11).
·
God’s Spirit to convict me (Jn 16:8), teach me
(1 Jn 2:27), guide me (Jn 16:13) and lead me (Mt 4:1).
·
I need to obey God’s Word and not my feelings if
I want to live victoriously.
·
Over 300 verses tell me not to be afraid.
·
The enemy employs fear to keep me from walking
in truth.
·
Wherever there is fear, the enemy is near.
Here’s the prayer strategy I’ve created based on what I
learned:
My Faithful Father, Teller of Truth, Your loyalty, integrity
and faithfulness are unmatched. We know
that in all things you work for the good of those who love You, who have been
called according to Your purposes (Rom 8:28).
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is
faithful (Heb 10:23). The Lord is on my
side, I will not fear (Ps 118:6). My God
is a bridge worth crossing because He will never let me down. My God is a great, big awesome God! I repent of just talking about faith. Help me be a woman who expresses faith
through works (Jas 1:20). Give me confidence
in what I hope for and assurance of what I do not see (Heb 11:1). Help me to not be distracted by the fiery
darts of the enemy. I desire to love
with unwavering confidence in Christ and His promises to me. I will walk forward in accordance with His
Word and personal directives. Give me
courage to push past fear and doubt that seeks to paralyze me with
insecurity. I trust You to take care of
me. Lead me to respond to Your
directions as Peter did: “…but because
You said so…” I will (Lk 5:5). Make me
willing to drop everything and follow Jesus (Lk 5:11). I invite Your Spirit to convict me (Jn 16:8),
teach me (1 Jn 2:27), guide me (Jn 16:13) and lead me (Mt 4:1). Enable me to follow Your Word and not my
feelings. Help me to obey Your Word and not
be afraid because where there is fear, the enemy is near, and I want him to be
nowhere near me. Draw me close to You,
Lord Jesus.
