Takes much audacity

Everyday I realise how much audacity it takes to be a Christian.

To believe that things will happen because you said it will or that things will not happen because you said it will not.

The uncertainty of life by nature constitutes another winning point for the faith we profess because we’re in relationship with the one who knows all.

A friend shared a concern with me recently and I told her not to worry that it won’t happen. She was confused and asked how I knew and frankly I didn’t know till I actually said it. I’ve trained my heart to believe that a word by Gods spirit will go ahead of the situation and define the reality on ground. Extremely bold, I know.

Frankly it isn’t always accurate hence why some believers shy away from prophecy completely, but the times it is, it does something to your faith, and when it’s not, it gives you learning curves and keeps you dependent on Gods spirit within.

It’s the most interesting thing, because sometimes we’ll say something because we see the logical patterns coming together that indicate the thing, other times, there’ll be no logic or patterns, only the power of our words and that’ll be powerful enough for us to anchor ourselves and those who dare believe the words of our mouth.

Takes much audacity to be a Christian, and I hope we remember that each time someone excuses Christianity as the religion where people put all responsibility on a deity, because that by itself is audacious, to even believe that a God of an entire universe is mindful of you and your seeming “inconsequential” situation.

Very few things come close to being this audacious.

    This is such a timely word for me, fochwoman! I am now in a position of leadership at my elementary school, and something happened “On my watch” last week that I was unable to stop. I sat across from two parents who asked me, “What are you doing to protect our child?” The words welled up in my chest, and soon became a proclamation of faith: “This will NOT happen again,” I said with authority. Did they believe me? I’m not sure. But you’ve reminded me today that God did! Thank you, sister. What a great post! Keep them coming….🤗🤗🤗

      This just encouraged my heart on something right now David. I’m not sure how I didn’t see and respond to this comment till now, but I’m grateful it happened as it did.

      It’s been a month! I hope you’ve had no record of it like you declared in faith.

      God truly seeks faith to do and undo in our lives, so please keep up the faith talk! It bears fruits ❤️

      Thank you
