How to embrace an active and moving faith ?
Many believers are in the midst of a crisis of faith. They continually feel as if they are losing ground because of trials and setbacks. How can we move beyond the obstacles and genuinely embrace an active, moving faith?
First, we must understand the importance of assurance. This godly confidence gives us strength to look into the future and see that what the Lord has planned will produce benefit. Assurance calms our fears, reminding us God is in charge and His will shall be accomplished - no matter what challenges we face.
Second, we must live a life of anticipation. In other words, if we truly believe that the heavenly Father will answer our Spirit-led prayers, then we should act as if we believe it! We need to wait expectantly for His answer and plan accordingly.
When you trust that God will faithfully and graciously respond to your petitions, you can rejoice, knowing that He will make a way, even before you see the results. This is the power of assurance and anticipation, and it can revolutionize your walk with Him.
1 Corinthians 9:24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
