Be confident, God will complete in you the work that He began!

Confidence is: “faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way; the quality or state of being certain.” Paul used this word as he described the good work that God is doing in our lives. Paul was confident not only that God has begun a good work in us; He was also confident that God will complete it! Today, God wants you to know that He is working a good work in you. He is ordering your steps. Even when you “mess up,” He will help you to get back on track. One of the main things that the devil attacks is our faith and confidence in God’s ability to accomplish what He promised us. The enemy is after your faith and confidence. Don’t ever give it up. Be like Paul…..He had confidence in God’s promises!

Phillipians 1:6 “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”

He did it for us!

Jesus said that on the earth, we will suffer tribulations, trials, distress and frustration. So it is not whether or not we will go through hard times, Jesus told us that these times will come to us, but He also told us to be of good cheer because He is with us in the midst of those tribulations and trials (John 16:33). I want you to see what this verse says in the Amplified version: “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” Wow! What a powerful promise. He even tells us that He has conquered the world FOR OUR SAKES! Are you going through great difficulties at this moment in your life? Memorize and declare this verse every day. The problems came to pass, not to stay. God will give you His perfect peace and overcoming confidence. Remember, He never leaves us nor forsakes us, so He is with you right now, even in the valley of the shadow of death, there is no need to fear. He will help you to walk through the valley and come out on the other side in total victory!

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]”
