Stand On Faith

Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Some people get mad when you confess the word of God boldly, they often think you're being ignorant or arrogant.

But if they understood how the kingdom of God system works, I doubt they would be so quick to overlook it.

What's more, if they ever get filled with the holy spirit and get compelled to speak the word of God boldly, then they'll know exactly what I mean.

According to Jesus the best way to obey the word of God is to go way out of your way to avoid conflict and to go way out of your way to help anyone in need, even your enemies. (Matthew 5:38-48).

But when it comes to denying the word of God, not standing on faith, and giving in to temptation from the devil, that's a totally different story.

This is when you must boldly defend the truth and seem ignorant or arrogant to anyone who tries to get you to oppose the word of God.

Just look how bold meshach, radshach and obed-nego was the time king Nebuchadnezzar threatened to throw them into a fiery furnace for not worshiping his foreign gods and golden image. (Daniel 3:15-18).

He even gave them a chance to correct the offense.

But he ended up being extremely angry when they refused and said something like, "we are not afraid to tell you that we will not worship your foreign gods or golden image."

He immediately had them thrown into the fiery furnace.

And of course God miraculously saved them from certain death in defense of His word.(Exodus 20:3).

In other words they risked their life for God through faith in His word.

Similar to the time the devil tried to get Jesus to worship him by offering him ruler-ship over the world? (Luke 4:7-8)

Notice how Jesus quoted the same commandment in scripture that I referenced from Exodus.

Standing on faith in the word of God is important because the world believes the complete opposite of what God says.

And the Bible says that a friend of the world is at enmity with God.(James 4:4).

Meaning they are fighting against the will of God.

Whether they realize it or not.

Not to mention Christians are constantly being persecuted all over the world because of the word of God still to this day and all throughout history.

And that explains why we've become watered down, luke-warm, closet Christians who are afraid to offend people by speaking the word, who also try to fit God's word in with the world's way by speaking like them.

And this is also why most of us can't fully use what the Lord has given us the power to do, and furthermore this is why we constantly get deceived over and over by the devil.

We are different, so we need to learn, speak, and act differently according to the word of God.

Don't be afraid to speak the word when you need to, and no, don't be scared to quote your Bible in public.

Boldly serve God with no regrets, no secrets, and without fear of the worlds wrath.

Jesus says fear the one who is able to destroy the body and soul in hell. (Matthew 10:28). Which is God.

Then He goes on to say if you deny Him before men, He will deny you before the father in heaven. (Matthew 10:33).

So stop trying to mix the world in with the word of God, it's impossible to do, break free from the world and dig deeper into the word of God, which besides being more true, is a totally different version of reality.

Therefore make God's reality your reality and live without the limitations of the world. (Isaiah 43:25-26).
