Choose to believe God!

“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.” Judges 6:12 KJV

Gideon saw his weakness; God spoke to the courage He would bring forth. God called him a mighty man while he was still hiding from his enemies. God’s word about you is greater than what your present circumstances say about you. As you behold Him, you are transformed into His image (2 Corinthians 3:18). Therefore, when God speaks concerning you or your situation, believe Him.

If God calls you mighty, believe Him and begin to speak and act in agreement with His word (Judges 6:12; Joel 3:10). If He calls you the father of many nations while everything around you says otherwise, believe Him, as Abraham did (Genesis 17:5; Romans 4:19–21). If God speaks abundance when you are surrounded by lack, hold on to His word above what you can presently see. God’s verdict is superior to your condition (Romans 3:4). So, do not conclude a matter until you have heard what God says about it. Peter had caught nothing all night, but one word from Jesus changed everything (Luke 5:4–6).

Prophetic Word: The fear that has held you back will not define your future. As you trust the Lord and obey His leading, He will give you courage for what lies ahead. In Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Lord, help me believe what You say above what can see. Give me courage to obey You today, even before I see the outcome. In Jesus’ name, amen.
