In You, O LORD, I put my trust; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Your righteousness.

Psalm 31: 1

With the statement above the psalmist shows he had experienced the love of God. Nobody trusts anybody without any real justification for it but the former do so because they were convinced by the other part’s word that the latter do deserve a credit or because they’ve already proved that they do honour their word. The Lord invites us to experience His goodness. Therefore, my brother, set out to believe in Him to sort out all your problems even the tiniest ones. So, whenever you go through awfully troubled times it’ll be easier for you to trust in the mighty manifestation of The Most High.

Those who don’t put their trust in God are missing a lot whenever they’re assaulted. If you begin putting into practice your faith even in the small issues, as you go through huge difficulties, you’ll come to the conclusion by then you can really trust in The Lord and then you’ll go to the battlefield by using your weaponry of righteousness and by overcoming all evil. Undoubtedly, our Father won’t frustrate those who put their trust in His Word.

Those who trust in God go forth to wrestle with determination; yet, those who behave with fear thinking they won’t be able to cope with this or that assault won’t defeat the enemy. The devil knows very well when we speak out with faith and also when we pay lip service to our affirmations. So, whenever he senses our commands are not spoken with firmness he won’t obey them even though we might have given them in The Name of Jesus. Those who trust in The Most High haven’t the slightest fear that their determination might ever fail.

The Lord will never put to shame those who lay their trust in Him, a necessary trust for His work to be done through His power. Christ stated that those who believed in Him would perform the same wonders performed by Him in His earthly ministry (John 14: 12). He commanded demons to get out of possessed people, He didn’t pray to His Father for the possessed to be delivered; He said to the lame to walk and the other sick people to be healed. Those who trust in The Most High will do the same works of Christ.

God won’t do anything different from the revelations of His Word for you. Those who want to be granted a miracle must believe in those wonders The Scripture assures were already perpetrated on our behalf. Then with determination, a believer has to demand evil to beat retreat. The fight against evil forces has to be fought by the children of God with His assistance. The moment a Christian decides to live the freedom granted to them they’ll surely attain victory.

We’re free by the divine righteousness but The Word declares that we’ve also become righteousness of God (II Colossians 5: 21). Therefore, there’s nothing that can ever prevent us from enjoying all those riches that Jesus conquered on our behalf. The righteousness of The Lord is now merged into you to make you really free from all those chains which used to hold you down or oppress you.

Those children of God who possess such righteousness mustn’t be intimidated whenever facing trials considering that the devil knows that they have a right to use the authority granted by The Lord in their favour. So, at the least sign of reluctance from a Christian the adversary, scared off, runs away (James 4: 7). With the righteousness of God in Christ we’re unbeatable in all of the battles our Father allows us to fight.

In Christ, with love,
