Hebrews 10; 35 says,” Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward”. Confidence plays a big role in everyone’s lives irrespective of whether one is a believer or not . Every believer needs this confidence to enjoy the promises given in the bible. Being confident that by His stripes you are healed, gives you healing. Jesus expects us to live in the rest that He has given His children and to abide in that rest, we need confidence in God.

Philipppians 1:6 says,”being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; “. When? The good work He has started in us is before the foundation of the World. If the work He started in us before the foundation of the World is ‘good’, then the end will be far greater! Yes! We must be confident in our Lord and in His Word. Our minds and the world always try to put our confidence down but no such thoughts can pull us down if we have that confidence. The Word says that that confidence has a great reward.

Now, how can we keep this confidence always?

1- Let’s take a look at Romans 12:2 where it says,”And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”. We should be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Our minds should always be transformed by aligning it to the Word and it’s promises for us. The very knowledge of who you are in Christ builds your confidence and that confidence transforms your mind. A successor of great wealth will only have knowledge of what he has given if he reads, understands and has knowledge on what he was been given by his predecessor and this knowledge on what he has transform his mind to live differently and wisely.

2-The knowledge that Jesus had about Himself gave Him the confidence to sleep amidst a storm and all He had to do was to speak and the peace in Him subdued the storm. So, Jesus spoke and the miracle happened. Sameway, we too need to speak and confess the Word and our minds that are transformed by the Word will be precipitated outside when we speak.

3-The next thing we need to do is, meditate on the Word of God. 1Timothy 4:15 says, “Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all”. Meditating on your problems cause worries but meditating on His Word can transform your minds and you will be confident of who you are and eventually you will confess only that. This will make you unshakeable! Tell your mind, “I don’t believe you, I believe only the Word of God!”Do you know the result of that? You will possess what you confess and you can confess only what you have in your mind – the mind that is transformed by His Word.
So, let us not lose our confidence in the Lord and in His Word! God bless you!
