A Complete
Trust in Jesus and Not in Yourself
| And His name, through faith in His name,
has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which
comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of
you all. |
|
(Acts 3:16) |
The Lord Jesus spoke to me and said "many
people have more faith in their faith then faith in Me." I asked the
Lord Jesus how does one tell when their faith is in their faith and not in
you? He said when you say I don’t feel very spiritual to pray today.
Or you base everything on how you feel spiritually and never seem to do
anything.
When you trust Jesus to be your Lord your
entire trust is in Him and not in your self. You reach that place through
a personal relationship and fellowship daily with Him. Without that daily
fellowship there will never be that trust. A trust in His Word and
not in Him is where most Christians are today. They have a
historical knowledge of Jesus but they would not know Him if He stood
before them. They are always confessing and believing for something
to happen that never does. They are hearers of the Word but not
doers of the Word. The more time you spend with Him the greater your
trust in Him will be. When you have that personal fellowship with
Him you will mightily let Jesus’ love and power flow through you to this
world.
| Beloved, while I was very
diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it
necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith
which was once for all delivered to the saints. |
|
(Jude 1:3) |
| Then David said to
the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a
javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of
the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. "This day the LORD will
deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from
you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines
to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the
earth may know that there is a God in Israel. |
|
(1 Samuel 17:45-46) |
| Who is he who overcomes the
world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? |
|
(1 John 5:5) |
