Power Of A Defining Moment

Key Scripture:  “Choose
today."   Joshua 24:15

Power Point:

     There always comes a time, when you have believed God, that what you believe will be tested. Satan will throw the book at you.  He will throw his book of lies straight at your head.  He will stir up everything around you to make it appear to be the exact opposite of what God has promised. You’ve made a decision to “follow Him”, and you get distracted by the lies of the enemy  and slip right off the path of faith. You begin to focus on false evidence appearing real, and you begin to fear. 

Beloved,

Faith believes what it can’t see because it knows Who has promised.

Faith is solid, consistent assurance that God is Who He says He is.

Faith acts as if He will do what He says He will do.

Faith is always listening to what He has said and agreeing with it and resting in it.

God requires us to live by faith, walk in faith, dream in faith, and hope in faith.

     He requires us to be bold as lions when we come to Him.  We’re not supposed to pray meek prayers. We are to come to Him in absolute confidence that He IS going to answer and reward our faith.

Your belief system will always be tested. Sometimes God Himself is doing the testing. He is always ready to show us where we missing the Truth so that we can change direction. Why?  Because He knows that what we lack can hurt us. He knows that it is the fullness of faith in Him that leads to the reward of an abundant life, and, dear one, the deepest desire of His heart is to see us live a life that is rewarded and blessed.

It’s just Who He is.

Are you full of peace?  Good. You’re in faith.

Are you full of hope?  Good. You’re in faith.

Are you full of joy?  Good for you. You’re living by faith.

Power Thought:

Testing only comes when God is ready to give you a push to the next level of experiencing Him. What you choose will define your next move. Will you move those mountains or be moved by them? 
This is your defining moment.
