family

Family -

What kind of cake are you?

The family unit is sacred in the eyes of God - God created each individual and placed them in a certain family. None of us had a choice which family to be born into. None were invited to a parent picking party or picked out siblings out of a best brother or sister catalog; NONE! God purposely designed us in that fashion. However, He did give us free will and free choice to pretty much everything else in life.

Our choices are free but not without consequences - GOOD OR BAD

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live. Deuteronomy 30:19

"Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! The blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known. Deuteronomy 11:26

Jesus said: If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. John 15:7

Confidence

I will not allow what I see to pull me down and to make me throw away my confidence.

I make a decision that I will not throw away my confidence, because my confidence has a great reward. (Hebrews 10:35)

It may take a while, but I have patience. For in a little while, what He promised will manifest because I am the just, and I live by faith and because I live by faith, I will not shrink back. Because when I shrink back, God has no pleasure in me and my number one goal is to be pleasing to God. (Hebrews 10:38)

I maintain, therefore, an attitude of faith, a spirit of faith, a position of faith that is always pleasing to God. And, therefore, the manifestation will come; because I maintain my position of pleasing God by using my faith and holding fast to my confession and never letting it go. (Hebrews 11:6)

I will not draw back.

I will not shrink back, but I will have faith until the end, until the outcome, until what I believe is what I see. If I don’t see it, that won’t change what I believe. Because the reason I’m believing is first and foremost to be pleasing to God, then to see the manifestation.

The manifestation will come when I’m pleasing to God. And I choose to hold fast to faith, to confidence in this Word, and I will not let go.

I will not give up.

I will not let go of my confession no matter what I see, no matter what I feel, no matter what other people say or do, no matter how many people shrink back.
