相信神的良善

你難道不喜歡好消息嗎?我知道我喜歡!讚美神,祂在我們的生活中安排了祂的信使來宣揚耶穌基督福音的好消息。這裡有一些好消息要告訴你。上帝不盼望你生活在恐懼中。如果你帶著信心來到祂面前,祂將把每一盎司的恐懼從你的生活中趕走,這樣你就可以無畏地生活,相信祂的良善!祂將把所有良善的東西帶入你的生活。

"各樣美善的恩賜和各樣全備的賞賜都是從上頭來的,從眾光之父那裡降下來的;在他並沒有改變,也沒有轉動的影兒。" (雅各書1:17)

祂比任何人想像的都來得好

你對上帝有正確的信念是很重要的。祂是你永活的盼望,祂來恢復生命、釋放、醫治並給你帶來永恆的祝福。祂渴望與你建立關係,因此在任何情況下,祂都會給你超越一切理解的平安。這意味著,如果你在一段關係中遇到困難,祂將給你智慧和方向,以及祂完美的平安。如果你失去了所有的經濟來源,你感到絕望,祂將給你平安,讓你知道你將在健康與生活的每一方面得到供給和恢復。

"你們要稱謝耶和華,因他本為善;他的慈愛永遠長存!"。(詩篇107:1 )

我是在經歷了這種完美的平安--世界所不理解的平安--之後來到你們面前的。2022年5月11日,我們的家被大火完全摧毀。除了我們的生命,我們幾乎一無所有,但我們卻擁有最不可思議的平安。我們曾經並仍然擁有一種信心和認識,即上帝會恢復我們。

舉起你信心的杖

"神愛我們的心,我們也知道也信。神就是愛;住在愛裡面的,就是住在神裡面,神也住在他裡面。......" (約翰一書4:16)

你看,我丈夫和我都獲得了非常大的 "信心的杖"。信心的杖在舊時代被用來標記上帝何時拯救了某人,何時祂通過並回應了祈禱。摩西在水面上舉起他的 "信心的杖"來分開紅海。當我們舉起我們的"信心的杖"時,我們基本上是在說:"主啊,你曾經拯救過我,我知道你會再次拯救我。"

如果你已經把你的信心放在耶穌基督身上作為你的救主,你也可以相信祂,相信祂將拯救你,因為祂將會拯救。

神是一位良善的神,祂盼望有好東西進入你的生命。任何不好的事物--疾病、經濟損失、疏遠、離婚、死亡--都不是來自祂。正確認識這一信念很重要,這樣當試煉來到你身邊時,你就會明白它來自仇敵,而不是來自神。永遠記住,想要偷竊、殺戮和破壞的是仇敵,而不是上帝(約翰福音10:10)!

每一個良善和完美的禮物都是來自上帝

上帝是一位良善的父親。作為地上的母親和父親,我們絕不會把壞事帶到孩子的生活中去,以 "考驗他們 "或 "磨煉他們的信心"。如果我們認為這些事情是來自上帝,我們怎麼能祈禱反對這些事情呢?我們不能。

今天開始,我們要畫一條線:壞的是來自仇敵;好的是來自上帝。這樣做,你將在清晰中行走,在力量中行走,在信心中行走,因為你的活的盼望總是與你同在,總是準備好並願意將好消息帶入你的生活!你將知道,與祂在一起,你將會有更多的機會。你會知道,與祂在一起,你有永生、恢復一切、寬恕、良善和豐盛的應許!

"因為凡從神生的,就勝過世界。這就是戰勝世界的勝利--我們的信心"。(約翰一書5:4)

在你心中確認這些真理。我相信我良善的好神。我在基督裡得到了醫治和完全。我被神的平安所充滿。我在所做的一切中都是成功的。

祈禱:感謝祢,主,祢是良善的--祢如此愛我,以至於為我而死,甚至在我犯罪的時候!保護我的心靈,使我清楚地看到祢是好的。如果在我的生活或其他人的生活中有任何不好的情況,請幫助我知道並理解那是來自仇敵而不是來自祢。我選擇過一個有信心的生活,相信祢是良善/好的!


Lift Up Your Faith Staff and Trust in the Goodness of God

Trusting in the Goodness of God

Don't you just love good news? I know I do! Praise God that He has placed His messengers in our lives to proclaim the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Here is some good news for you: God doesn't want you living in fear. If you come to Him in faith, He will cast every ounce of it out of your life so that you can live fearlessly, trusting in His goodness! He will bring all that is good into your life.

"Every gift God freely gives us is good and perfect, streaming down from the Father of lights, who shines from the heavens with no hidden shadow or darkness and is never subject to change." (James 1:17 TPT)

He's Better Than Anyone Could Ever Imagine

It is important to get your beliefs right about God. He is your Living Hope who comes to restore life, to deliver, to heal and to give you blessings for all of eternity. He longs for a relationship with you so that in any given situation, He will give you the peace that passes all understanding. This means that if you are having difficulty in a relationship, He will give you wisdom and direction, along with His perfect peace. If you have lost all your finances and you are feeling desperate, He will give you the peace to know that you will be provided for and restored in every way. This is true about your health and each area of your life. (Photo via Unsplash)

"Let everyone give all their praise and thanks to the Lord! Here's why—He's better than anyone could ever imagine. Yes, He's always loving and kind, and His faithful love never ends." (Psalm 107:1 TPT)

I come to you having experienced this perfect peace—the one that the world does not understand. On May 11, 2022, our home was completely destroyed by fire. We left with very little but our lives, yet we had the most incredible peace. We had and still have a trust and a knowing that God will restore us.

Lift Up Your Faith Staff

"We have come into an intimate experience with God's love, and we trust in the love He has for us..." (1 John 4:16 TPT)

You see, both my husband and I have gained very large "faith staffs." A faith staff was used in the old days to mark when God had delivered someone, when He came through and answered prayers. Moses lifted up his "faith staff" above the water to part the Red Sea. When we lift up our "faith staffs" we are basically saying, "You have delivered me before, Lord, and I know You will deliver me again."

If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your savior, you too can trust Him and believe that He will deliver you, because He will.

God is a good God who desires good things to come into your life. Anything that is not good—sickness, financial loss, estrangement, divorce, death—is NOT from Him. It is important to get this belief right so that when a trial comes your way, you will understand that it comes from the enemy, not from God. Always remember, it is the enemy who desires to steal, kill and destroy, not God (John 10:10)! (Photo via Unsplash)

Every Good and Perfect Gift Is from God

God is a good, good Father. As earthly mothers and fathers, we would never bring bad things into our children's lives to "test them" or "refine their faith." How can we pray against these things if we think they are from God? We can't.

Begin today by drawing a line: what is bad is from the enemy; what is good is from God. In doing so, you will walk in clarity, in power and in faith knowing that your Living Hope is always with you, always ready and willing to bring good news into your life! You'll know that with Him you have the promises of eternal life, restoration of all things, forgiveness, goodness and abundance!

"For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith." (1 John 5:4 ESV)

Affirm these truths in your mind: I AM trusting in my good God. I AM healed and whole in Christ. I AM filled with God's peace. I AM successful in all that I do.

Pray: Thank You, Lord, that You are good—that You love me so much that You died for me, even while I was sinning! Protect my mind so that I see clearly that You are good. And if there are any bad circumstances in my life or the lives of others, help me to know and understand that it is from the enemy and not from You. I choose to live a life of faith believing You are good!
