Confident Faith

Author: Jerry Savelle

Your ability to stand on God’s Word and stay focused on what you can’t see yet with your eyes determines how much of the goodness of God manifests in your life.

“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise” (Hebrews 10:35).

Every victory is made up of three parts:

1.         The initial assurance and confidence that God is going to come through.
2.            The season where it appears nothing is happening.
3.            The manifestation of the promise.

It is the second part that offers the greatest challenge. So how do we remain confident and stay patient when nothing appears to be happening?

We do what Moses did. The Amplified Bible says in Hebrews 11:26-27, “For he looked forward and away to the reward…for he never flinched but held staunchly to his purpose and endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him who is invisible.”

Moses kept his eyes on the invisible reality, and not the natural circumstances. This ability to stay focused on the reward ahead was what enabled Moses to be faithful and fulfill the calling on his life.

Every challenge you face is an opportunity for you to build strength of character to endure the “nothing is happening” seasons of life. Determine to stay confident and endure with patience and you will see the manifestation of the promise.

Confession: I hold fast to my confidence and choose to continue in the will of God. I fix my eyes on Him fully assured that, in due season, I will receive the promise.
