Keep Trusting God & Believing What He Said
First I want to just honor God this morning and thank Him for waking me up to see a day I have never seen before, August 28, 2021! This is the day that the Lord has made, I rejoice and I am glad in it!
Now what did me and Holy Spirit talk about in our conversation this morning?
Holy Spirit said to me:
Continue to abide in Me. (I thought about John 15:4)
Set boundaries and don’t break them. (I thought about how God set boundaries in creation and those boundaries are still obeying to this day. I also read a story that spoke to how Jesus set boundaries with his personal prayer time; his directness of letting his yes be yes and no be no; He pleased God, not people; He set priorities; He napped. He rested. He obeyed Father God).
Don’t get attached to your outcome, but trust that My Plan is always going to have the best outcome. (I thought about Jeremiah 29:11).
Keep trusting and believing. (Hebrews 11:6 is the verse I am standing on for this).
I love you Fon ( I thought about how much God loves me and I love Him).
When I opened my Bible, I ended up turning to Hebrews and there was a story in my Tony Evans Study Bible with the title: God Has a Plan For You. Can I just say parenthetically that I love when God does that. I hear Him through my thoughts in His small still voice, and then when I open up His Word, He speaks again!
One of the two things in the story that stood out for me was Dr. Evans saying that what stops most people from living out God’s plan in their lives is losing hope and not trusting God.
Holy Spirit this morning reminded me to KEEP trusting and KEEP believing. Dr. Evans said when we fix our eyes on Jesus and set our heart on the truth that what God has said about us will come to pass, IF we will but believe in Him and His Word.
This morning, let us be encouraged to to please God with our faith in Him and His Word.
You can never please God without faith, without depending on him. Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him. — Hebrews 11:6 TLB
For your reference, here are the scriptures I mentioned above and I added Matthew 6:6 because prayer time was one of the ways Jesus modeled boundaries to us.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. — John 15:4 ESV
I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for. — Jeremiah 29:11 GNT
When you pray, go into your room. Close the door and pray to your Father, who can’t be seen. Your Father will reward you, because he sees what you do secretly. — Matthew 6:6 NIRV

SALVATION PRAYER
If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and you’re not a believer, but you have a desire to be, all you have to do is openly confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). When you pray that prayer, you are saved. Get connected with a good, bible-based church in your community, stay connected to other believers, and start having daily conversations through prayer with God every single day. Welcome to your new life with Jesus Christ!!!
