FAITH CAPSULE: If you will take to the Word of God and allow faith to rise in you, fear will sink.

Hebrews 11

When God says fear not, He meant for us not to entertain fear, but to rather exercise faith. What is it that you are fearful of? At the sense of any danger, the children of Israel in their wilderness journey without hesitation always resolved to complaints and negative confessions. In the face of any challenge, we can stand if we will always remember that God does not lie. It is written in Isaiah 55:11, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”Evidently, every Word of God is true to perform that which it was sent to do. To every wise one, it is worth it to take the Word and hold on to it in faith. Holding on to the Word in faith is working the Word to make the Word work for us. Faith is to know that God is near to us more than we can imagine. The Psalmist stated in Psalm 75:1, “…Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.”Interestingly, we are surrounded by all kinds of wondrous works of God yet holding to His promises can be challenging when it should not be so. The Word of God created the wondrous works of God. By this understanding, it is clear that when we have the word of creation then the Creator is near to us. Why not take the Word into your life and operate in faith? Faith demands that you wait and know that God will not forget you neither shall He fail to back you up when you wait in faith. Isaiah 64:4 testifies, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.” A powerful testimony is a provoking testimony for whoever allows God testimonies to have a place inside of their life. In Heaven and on earth, there is none who acts for the ones that wait for God but God. What is clouding your life and causing your inability to wait in faith? God is real and He is willing to act on behalf of the ones who wait for Him. Faith is all that pleases Him. Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him…” If you will take to the Word of God and allow faith to rise in you, fear will sink. Proverbs 29:25,”The fear of a man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.”

Prayer for today: Ask that the faith which delivers good testimony become your portion.
