Living by Faith
For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
- Romans 1:17
Are you secure in His promise to never leave you or forsake you?
When we feel fear or uncertainty we should stand on God’s promises in His Word: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” ( John 14:27). Is your testimony one of faith or of fear?
My mentor Lester Sumrall said, “Faith is to be a constant dominating experience in your life—not something that comes once in a while…continually test yourself…when you start to make a decision or do something ask, ‘Is this faith’s road I’m walking? or is it unbelief ’s?’ If it is unbelief ’s, get off that road! You don’t belong there. ‘Is this faith’s choice? or is it fear’s choice?’ I’m not making that choice. I don’t want fear dominating my life. That’s living by faith. That’s the eternal quest for faith. You must do it all the time. Don’t quit. Just pursue it.”
Put your trust in God and get a spirit of faith. He has never let anyone down and He won’t start with you.
Jesus, I renounce fear for faith in You. I rebuke the spirit of fear and stand firm trusting You. Amen.
