My Declaration of Faith:
Today, I choose to honor God by being faithful with whatever He has placed in my hands, big or small. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 25:21, “Well done, good and faithful servant… You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.”
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.”
Psalm 34:17
What do you think people normally do if they get into a jam? They would immediately panic. They would fall into a trap of worrying about the situation and wondering how they would ever get out of it. This is the natural reaction of the flesh, and it doesn’t get you anywhere. The word of God even says that the flesh profits nothing, for it is the Spirit that quickens. You see, all the flesh could ever do in a time of crisis is to relate itself to past experiences to try to figure out a way to get out of that problem.
“But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’
For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.”
Matthew 5:37
Do you know that every single word you speak can affect your life? If you don’t, you need to realize that it does. You may say Oh, you mean I can’t fool around with my words anymore? Not if you want the blessing of God to flow in your life constantly. You have to know that Satan is an extreme legalist when it comes to your words. He takes your words literally, especially your negative ones. He gladly wants you to speak all the garbage that other people in the world speak, so He can gain access into your life and cause serious havoc.
My Declaration of Faith:
Some days, it’s easy to feel like I’m falling short, as I’ll never be good enough or do enough to really please God. But then I remember the truth: the law wasn’t given to make me holy; it was given to show me just how much I need a Savior.
