The Holy Spirit wants me to encourage you this morning through words from the book of Hebrews.10:35 & 36 which says Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

Many of you have done the will of God faithfully and faced all sorts of obstacles, and still refused to cave in, held on in fierce battles. You wonder why you have not received the reward/promise the bible says you should have after having done all that is necessary to stand.

Well today the Holy Spirit has good news for you which should lift you up and push you through to the position of triumph regardless of how weak, tired and frustrated you may feel.

First of all you must remember that no matter what you feel or think is happening to you, that is not the reality of life. This is what events, various situations and choices you made in those instances that are trying to convince you that you will not make it through this time.

“Your complex situation forces you to believe you are locked in a stranglehold from which you cannot escape but that is not the accurate truth.”

Since your Father can do all things and can make impossible things become possible and always gives life to the dead. Then He calls things which do not exist as though they did, then you have no reason to fear because your help is on the way.

You will come out winning with a song of deliverance.

The Holy Spirit wants you however to embrace this stance at this moment that Hebrews.10:35 & 36 says you need to have to benefit and gain all the Father has for you.

“ Don’t cast away your confidence in who God is to you, what He did for you and the inheritance He has provided for you because He never fails anyone who has trusted in Him.”

You will not be the first candidate where God goes on to fail helping out.

Many have already come out of much worse than you are facing so you need to be strong and refuse to budge regardless of the fear and trepidation you feel. They are only feelings and they do not kill.

“ They desire you to give into their pressure and fall into defeat.” So resist that ungodly pressure.

Your confidence has a great reward attached to it. Look at what the Apostle John says about it in 1 John.5:14 & 15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Anything we ask the Lord He will give us in accordance with His will which means that though everything is bleak and seems dark we know that God will step in and make a way through for us if we only ask Him.

Anything means nothing is left out and that is why we must not cast away that confidence because as long as we hold on to it we will come out victorious and triumphant. We just know that we know that God will not fail to make a way out for us.

“Your confidence means everything to you and you must fight to keep hold of it as it will never let you down.”

“ It is your deposit of strength from the Holy Spirit that ensures you will come through no matter what happens.”

It is what Paul used on the ship in Acts.27 that meant he knew he would be saved and all the people on the ship with him would be freed. It is what Peter knew that meant he could sleep in Prison on the night before his trial for execution the next day by Herod and he was gloriously delivered.

Can you imagine the fear he felt as he lay there chained to officers because they knew God had done some saving of His people in prison before so ensured he was completely bound. This was to make sure any attempt to be freed would be felt and recognized so it could be promptly stopped.

However God still broke right through and still delivered Peter. Then brought him out alive, well and strengthened as he went on to fulfill the plan of God for his life.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know today that it is your turn to come out, as you fearlessly hold onto your confidence in the Lord’s ability to deliver. You will come out unharmed with a testimony of triumph and such significance that all will marvel. Then say this is the hand of the Most High working on your behalf and we have to admit that a notable miracle has been done on your behalf.

So lay hold of these words of truth and let the grace released in them propel you to hold on vehemently to your confidence without wavering. Then go on to experience the mighty hand of the Lord working on your behalf in the name of Jesus. Amen.
