Heb 11:24-27

Dear friend,

It became clearer to me that just knowing what is, gives you an understanding of what is not. Knowing what you want already explains in details what you do not want. I also discovered that most times, what "is"( what exists, what we see) is not always what we want. Therefore faith is not only a channel to receive what we want but cannot see (is not), but it is also a channel to refuse what we do not want but can see (is).

𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡, 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡.

Let us not mix things up by settling for what we do not want because that's all we see or that is all there is right now. We have the Faith by the grace of God to refuse all we do not want even though it looks like it is all there is. If we must put our faith to work, let us just be sure we are not confused about what we want and what we do not want. 

𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠!

When it goes wrong it becomes the confident assurance that something we do not want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we do not hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead - 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑯𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒘𝒔 11:1

God wants us to ensure that all we want is all He wants for us. He wants us to hold on to his promises and refuse anything that is not it or anything that looks like it. If what we see isn't what He promised, we keep looking and refusing other options by Faith, until everything we see is everything He promised.

It takes someone who is grown, knows his rights and knows what is best for him to refuse anything. Scripture said, it was by faith that Moses, when he grew up or when he was of age, refused...!!!

A child will receive anything that looks good and would satisfy him temporary, but not a grown-up. A major sign that a man is grown and can now decide for himself, is his ability to refuse whatever he does not want. His ability to choose wisely.

Everytime you insist by Faith on what God has said concerning you and all that concerns you, you refuse what He has not said about you.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭. 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡.

What have we accepted for so long as a country that we should never have? Today, I urge us to grow up and refuse everything we see that is not what we want!! We can only do it by Faith!!!

Shalom
