Words of prophecy:
* The continual exercising of an absolute
faith [trust] and perfect patience in
any given situation will ALWAYS bear the perfect fruit [result].
...."And we
desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full
assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators
of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises".... Hebrews
6:11-12 NASB
...."the signs of an [true and genuine]
apostle [apostolic ministry] were wrought
among you [first] in all patience, [then] in signs, and wonders, and
mighty deeds".... 2 Corinthians 12:12 KJV
The continual
choosing of one to "act" in faith, patience and obedience is, first, an act of
Love [and trust]towards the Father
[and His Word]. For "abiding" in this
place "allows" Him to accomplish His perfect purpose - not only in the life of
the one standing in faith and patience but also in the lives of all those in
their "sphere of existence".
"sphere of
existence" - is not only one's "physical" existence but also their
"spiritual existence" - an existence that includes those they have met in the
past [friend and foe alike] as well as those they have yet to meet, as
they continue on the path to the "fullness" of their precious destiny, in
Christ.
...."Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill
the law of Christ [which is the law of
Love]".... Galatians 6:2 NASB
...."But without faith [love and obedience] it is impossible to please
and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must
[necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who
earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]".... Hebrews 11:6 The Amplified
Translation
Prayer of
Proclamation:
Father, we thank You and praise
You that, as we set ourselves to exercise a steadfast faith and trust in You, we
enter into the deep assurance in our hearts that everything You would have us do
and say is for the greatest good [greatest
Eternal benefit] of not only ourselves but, also, for all those you
have placed in our "sphere of existence". Because of these things, we "fix" our
gaze upon You [Your Word] - for we seek only to give You preeminence in ALL
things - and, in doing so, continually express our deep appreciation and love
for You - and all that you have done for us, IN Christ. We declare all of these
things DONE, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
...."But by His [the Father's] doing you are [already] IN Christ Jesus, Who became to us wisdom
from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption".... 1
Corinthians 1:30 NASB |
