Faith
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. By my God,
I can run through a troop and leap over a wall! He makes my feet
like hind's feet. He makes me walk upon high places. With man, this
is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.
All things are possible to him who believes. If I have faith as a grain of a mustard seed, I can say to this mountain, "MOVE," and it will move and "NOTHING" will be impossible to me. I'm a believer, not a doubter.
I know that whatever is not of faith is sin. I know that without faith it is impossible to please God. I know I am to live by faith, and if I shrink back, the Lord has no pleasure in me. Every man is given a measure of faith; I'll develop my faith to the glory of God.
I have faith toward God. My faith is not in my faith, but in a Living God who said He would never fail nor forsake me. Therefore, I choose to walk by faith and not by sight. I trust in the Lord with all my heart and don't lean to my own understanding.
I'm not ruled by my feelings. I'm not in bondage to my emotions. I'm not under the circumstances; I'm above the circumstances. I'm seated with Christ in heavenly places. The steps of a righteous man/woman are ordered by the Lord.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. The righteous man falls seven times, but rises again. Champions don't give up, they get up!
One thing I do, forgetting what lies behind, straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus, my Lord. I put my hand to the plow and I don't look back. I run to win. Zeal for Thy house consumes me.
The Kingdom of Heaven comes by violence and those who take it, take it by force. It's not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit. He ever lives to make intercession for me. He is able to do exceeding far more abundantly above all that I dare think or even ask, by the power at work within me.
He who began a good work in me will bring it to completion in the day of the Lord Jesus. Boldly, I can approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and grace for help in time of need.
I'll be anxious for nothing. He will keep me in perfect peace for my mind is stayed on Him. Therefore, I enter His rest.
I've been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live. I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me and gave Himself for me.
Whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world, even my faith. Therefore, I am an overcomer. I'm going from faith to faith, strength to strength, glory to glory. The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until the full day!
