Dear Saints,
I wanted to share with you an example of in my life when I take steps of faith how I find it very important to not only have peace and faith in a step in life with the Lord but also to receive counsel and promises from the Lord to hold onto in such times.
The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful family and we are excited together as a family to take steps of faith together as we all have peace and assurance from the Lord that it is His will. I will share more later specifically on a recent step of faith we are taking but I wanted to share some of the verses and quotes that really spoke to my heart as promises and encouragements to stand on during this time, may some of them bless others:
"God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible. What a pity we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves." - Tozer
Keep your hand to the plow and don't look back!
"The Lord will guide you CONTINUALLY, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." - Isaiah 58:11
"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." (2 Cor. 9:8)
"Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar into the Lord"(Gen. 13:18).
"Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you." Deuteronomy 31:8
"Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world....Resist him, steadfast in the faith...Resist the devil and he will FLEE from you...Put on The Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh...the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation...Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy...to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
