Amen 🙏
Is your heart troubled? Do you not believe in God, also in Jesus? Do you not trust God first and foremost? Since He is the God of truth, it is impossible for God to lie. So if you do not trust Him, why is it that you do not trust Him? As a child of God, have you asked the Holy Spirit, who occupies a portion of your heart, why are you having a hard time trusting God?
Many people get so used to living like, being conformed to, the world, and it can be hard to allow the transformation of the renewing of their mind. And many people believe that they are automatically completely renewed at the prayer of confession and repentance. The enemy is always lying to you, he wants to deceive you. Because that prayer is the beginning of the journey of transformation. You will be tested along the journey in your faith, especially in what and who you stand for.
There is a hope that you have as an anchor of the soul, for you to grab hold of. It is both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for you. Spend time one-on-one with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, so that you can focus on what is true. Understand that others are in a different place in their relationship with God, and comparing or sharing information that you feel deep within you, may contradict what you are learning. Do not discount what you feel just because someone else disagrees with you. You just might be right, even if they are concerned to be a wise and seasoned person of knowledge. Sometimes a person can have trouble believing the truth or has not been introduced to the right perspective.
Jesus did not come to push anyone into believing who He was or what He stood for. Although, He came to give life, He did that by sharing the kingdom of God with those who had ears to hear. No one likes to be pushed to believe in a certain way, it is more likely to be rejected instead of accepted, even if you are right. God is faithful.
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.”
—John 14:1 NKJV
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!
—Psalms 27:13-14 NKJV
That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
—Hebrews 6:18-20 NKJV
Father God, I come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. You are great, and greatly to be praised. I praise You because You are worthy, holy, righteous, and just. I will not lose heart. I will wait on You, my Lord, and You shall strengthen my heart. I have hope that is as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Thank You so much for teaching me, guiding me, and protecting me throughout this beautiful day and journey with You. I look forward to every moment in Your presence. I exalt Thee, my Lord God Almighty, I exalt Thee. In all that I do, my Lord, may You be glorify. I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
