Greetings Ecclesia* of the Most High God, Day after day things around us are changing and in many cases bringing serious challenges with it. As believers we have always been counseled by the Word to stand fast in what we believe. Our salvation and confidence is in our God. In facing wars, He remains our peace; with pandemics threatening, He is our Great Physician; in times of looming economic devastation, He gloriously remains our Provider; faced with floods, storms, earthquakes [just to name a few], He remains our Ever Present Help and Protector. We are a blessed people because the Lord is our God.
“But Christ as a
son over his own house; whose house are we,
“Behold, I come
quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, Below is a list of statements affirming what we believe, based on the Word of God. Following that are a handful of Scriptures reminding us of the importance of walk by faith and not by sight. I hope these compilations serve you well. Let us all examine ourselves to see that we are in faith. [2 Corinthians 13:5]
AFFIRMING
MY FAITH I believe that even though Satan has tried to sift me as wheat that my Lord has prayed for me and my faith will not fail. I believe I am bound in the bundle of life with my Lord and that He will sling out as with a sling my enemies. I believe my Father’s Word does not return void on my behalf and that it always accomplishes what He it sent to do. I believe the Lord is for me and never against me, that He never leaves me or forsakes me. I believe His plans for me are for my good and not for any harm or evil. I believe my heavenly Father is the Lord God who heals me and when I confess my sins He forgives me and cleanses me from all my unrighteousness. I believe that every time I call upon my Father’s name He answers me and in every situation that I acknowledge Him in He goes before me to prepare that situation for my good. I believe that through my God I will always do valiantly, because He treads down my enemies. I believe that where my God is for me there is nothing man can do against me. I believe the name of the Lord is my safe place, that there I am inaccessible from my enemies. I believe that there are more for me than there are against me and that greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I believe my Father is perfecting everything that concerns me and will withhold no good thing from me as I walk uprightly before Him. I believe all of the promises of my Father in His word are “yes and amen” for me. I believe the Lord corrects and chastens me because He loves me so much. I believe the Lord’s wisdom and knowledge is stability for my times. I believe that my prayers enter into the courts of my God and are heard by His ears and that I have favor with Him. I believe that NO weapon formed against me will prosper, that the Lord has made provision for me to be the overcomer.
I believe all this BECAUSE the BIBLE says it…
I believe that when I make my requests known to God by prayer and thanksgiving, His peace will rule and guard my heart and mind through Christ Jesus. I believe that the love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit and His love abides in me richly. I believe the Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my strength in whom I will trust. I believe that the Word of God is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I believe and am persuaded that nothing can separate me from the love of God; that in all things I am more than conqueror through Jesus Christ who loves me. I believe that Jesus is touched with the feeling of my infirmities and I can come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need. I believe I can tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt me. I believe I can quench every fiery dart of the enemy with my shield of faith because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I believe that as I commit my ways and works to the Lord and trust them totally to Him, He will cause my thoughts to be established and bring them to pass. I believe that as I delight myself in the Lord He will give me the desires of my heart. I believe that the joy of the Lord is my strength. I believe that I
live and move and have my being because of Jesus Christ. I believe all this BECAUSE the BIBLE says it…
Php. 4:13, Php.
4:6-7, Rom. 5:5, Ps.18:2, Ps.119:105, Ro. 8:37-39,
I believe that if I walk in the light of Christ I have fellowship with my brothers and sisters and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. I believe that I know Him as I keep His commandments. I believe that the voice of the Lord my God is powerful and full of majesty and that the Lord will give me strength and bless me and all His people with peace. I believe that God has turned my mourning into dancing and clothed me with gladness. I believe that God chose me before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him. I believe I can have the mind of Christ and esteem others higher than myself. I believe that I can know Him and the power of His resurrection. I believe that I love Him because He first loved me. I believe I have overcome the world because I am born of God. I believe that God hears me when I ask anything according to His will. I believe that through faith in Jesus Christ I am a son of God. I believe that when I pray in secret my Father sees and will reward me openly. I believe that when I wait on the Lord He shall strengthen my heart. I believe I can walk in love because Christ Jesus loves me and has given Himself for me. I believe that when I seek God I will find Him when I search for Him with all my heart. I believe my God is able to do far beyond all that I can ask or think, and He does it according to His power that works in me. I believe that I can be filled with all the fullness of God because Christ dwells in my heart through faith. I believe all this BECAUSE the BIBLE says it…
Is. 1:19, 1 Jn. 1:7, 1
Jn. 2:3, Ps. 29:4 &11, Ps. 30:11, Eph. 1:4, Php. 2:3-5, I believe that when I serve the Lord my God, that He bless my bread, and my water; and He takes sickness away from the midst of me. I believe God is able to make all grace abound towards me; and that I will always have all sufficiency in all things, and will abound to every good work: I believe He has saved me to the uttermost because I came unto the Father by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for me. I believe the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keeps my heart and mind through Christ Jesus. I believe that You will keep me in perfect peace when my mind is stayed on Thee, because I trust in Thee. "I believe that since I walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth me from all sin.” I believe there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the Blood; and these three agree in one. I believe with God nothing is impossible. I believe the Lord is faithful, that He shall establish me, and keep me from evil. I believe even though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profits me nothing. I believe that when I let patience have her perfect work, that I am perfect and entire wanting nothing. I believe that, whatsoever God does, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that I should fear before Him. I believe Father that You have made the heaven and the earth by Your great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for You. I believe the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. I believe the Lord sends His word, and heals and delivers me from my destructions. I believe that when I call upon the Lord in distress He answers me and sets me in a large place. I believe all this BECAUSE the BIBLE says it…
