A Sure Foundation

“When your feelings are overwhelming, you can count on the Word of God.

 

22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship. 23For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

Acts 27:22-25

1Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 7He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.  8His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

Psalm 112:1, 7-8

10 Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.

Isaiah 41:10 (Amplified Bible)

16 In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one![a] 17–18 Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword[b] of the spoken word of God.

Ephesians 6:16-18 (Passion Translation)

The Word of God is a sure foundation for your life. Build your life on this foundation you will become a tower of strength and stability. Life can be overwhelming. When you are under attack it easy to let your feelings get the best of you. Racing thoughts of fear or doom can overtake your faith if you let them. You must resist the devil and the thoughts he would like to plant in your mind. You do that by speaking the Word of God. If you resist, he will flee.

Give the Word First Place

“Indecision will dissipate you; be organized in your spirit as well as your mind.

 

8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

James 1:8

5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Hebrews 10:23
If you are feeling confused you may be listening to the wrong voice or too many voices. God’s voice rings clear in His Word. When you are confronted with a negative situation ask yourself, “What does the Word say?” Faith is a choice. Choose to believe God’s Word over every other source of information.

Confident Prayers Bear Much Fruit

“Bible prayer works.

 14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

1 John 5:14-15

 7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

John 15:7-8

Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) is able to accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].

James 5:16 AMP

God never said He would confirm our opinions, He said He would confirm His Word with signs following. When you pray scripture you can have confidence that God’s power will be working in your prayers!
