The Commission To Faith

Today, my Sister Christine and I just finished our last session of "Believing God" bible study and oh, what a ride it was!!! "Believing God" is by far the best bible study (10 weeks long) I have ever done in the last 6 years! It has taught me a lot. We laughed. We cried. We got convicted. There was a point when both Christine and I both got down on our knees worshipping God... Halleluiah! We learned to believe Him again and again. He has been there all along and when we finally got it, He was there rejoicing with us. We learned about the following Five Statement Pledge of Faith which is:

*** God is who He says He is.
*** God can do what He says He can do.
*** I am who God says I am.
*** I can do all things through Christ.
*** God's Word is alive and active in me.

The last session gave a profound Commision to Faith and I decided to put this on my blog. If you are reading this, I urge you to meditate on it:

The Commission To Faith

Lord, today I accept my calling
not to perfection or performance.
My calling is to faith.
I have been chosen for this generation.
I have a place in the heritage of faith.
I'm going to stop wishing and whining
and start believing and receiving.
What Your Word says is mine.
I won't let others steal my hope.
I won't argue with a Pharisee.
I will believe and therefore speak,
for You, my God, are huge.
Nothing is too hard for You.
Our world needs your wonders.
Rise up from Your throne, O God!
Please renew Your works in our day.
I confess my unbelief of my generation
and ask You to begin Your revival of faith
in my own heart.
For You are who You say You are.
You can do what You say You can do.
I am who You say I am.
I can do all things through Christ.
Your Word is alive and active in me.
Satan, hear me clearly:
My Father is Maker of heaven of earth.
And you are under my feet,
because today and the rest of my days,
I'm believing God!
