What You
 Can Do With
 Confidence!

Do you believe that you can in fact become what God desires and you can receive what He has for you?  If you are tormented by thoughts of not being able to see something accomplished or that you don’t measure up, then that lack of confidence will keep you in lack.  It’s important to develop it in a strong way and the way that God desires.  Otherwise, you'll lack so many things in your life.  You can do much when you have confidence.
I.    I’ll Fulfill My Dream.
II.   I’ll Receive What I Need.
III.  I’ll Draw the Line. 
IV.  I’ll Act in My Anointing. 
V.   I’ll See Victory.   

   God Put
      It in
     Your
    Heart!

   Truly believe that what God has put in your heart to see happen will in fact happen.  Have confidence it will.  Trust in what He will fulfill for you.

   What kind of dreams are you thinking about?  The dreams of what God has for you and those in your life?  The dream of a good family or good health.  The dream of a good retirement or that God will grow you in your calling or career.  You can have a dream of the type of relationship you want with your spouse.  The dream job or dream man or dream woman.  We can dream of having peace and joy, stability and blessing.  The dream of growing in God and becoming what He desires, expressing your gifts.

   So many dreams are working inside us our entire life.  So to have confidence that we can fulfill a dream will help us see God do it.  But remember, if you lack confidence, it will keep you in lack.  In other words, you won’t have what’s in your heart.

   One of the dreams of my life was to begin teaching the Word of God and begin this ministry.  When it was growing inside of me, I would think about it and pray.  I put my spirit on high alert to hear the voice of God.  I knew it was a part of my life that must be fulfilled, but I had to have confidence that I could do it by the power of God.

   So many people don’t see wonderful things happen simply because they lack confidence.  So their dreams are not fulfilled.  When you don’t have confidence, you back away from the dream.  It just seems too big, it requires too much, or you just don’t have what it takes or you don’t deserve it.  That’s what you can think.

   Well, some of that may be true, but when you have God, it cancels out all those problems when you base your confidence on Him.

   When I would feel the stirring in me that the timing was coming for the ministry to begin, I would walk the floor at night.  Kind of like when a woman is birthing a baby, sometimes she walks the floor because she’s uncomfortable and she can feel the baby coming.

   When I knew the ministry was about to be birthed, I would get up at night and in my bare feet, in the dark, go up and down the hallway in our house.  I would pray in the Spirit.  When I did, I knew things were happening in the spiritual realm.  God and His forces were moving, but also I was going through a time where I was developing my confidence to be able to fulfill the dream in my heart.

   Let me tell you, it was those moments of walking the hallway praying and being in the presence of God that prepared me for what was to come.  Otherwise, I may never have stepped out and had the confidence to say, “I’ll fulfill my dream.”  Once your dream starts unfolding, you better have confidence.  If you don’t, instead of the dream unfolding, you will fold.  You’ll fold under the pressure and the challenge and the uncertainty that seem to be around you.

   Your dream can exist when you have confidence that God put it in your heart and so it’s going to happen!  There may be some rough times and moments when you wonder if it will ever come about.  I was there.  But it can come about when you have confidence that God is working it and it will be in His timing.  You have to be able to say with sureness, “I’ll fulfill my dream.”

   Can you imagine how many times the man Joseph in the Bible had to have confidence that one day he would rule over his people?  All along the way he had to keep saying within himself, “I’ll fulfill my dream” and have confidence that God would bring it about, and He did.  (Ref. Genesis 50.)

   How about the man Abraham!  He had a promise from God that He would take him to a new place and there He would build a nation with Abraham being the father of it even though he didn’t as of yet have a child.  Now the spiritual descendants of Abraham are truly the number of the stars in the sky.  (Ref. Genesis 12-25.)

   By the power of God those people saw everything come to pass.  But hear this: even though God is the power behind your dream, you are the person behind your dream.  God has all the power at His disposal, but if He doesn’t have a person of confidence to enter into the dream, it cannot be fulfilled.

   That’s the important part your confidence plays in seeing the will of God happen for your life and for others.  Without the person, the power doesn’t work.  You have to show up and be certain in God that He will fulfill what He put in your heart.
 

Spiritual powerline to say out loud:

“I’LL FULFILL MY DREAM!”

Here is a powerful prayer to say out loud:

Father, I know what dreams You have put in my heart.  Good dreams!  As I believe for them to come to pass by Your power, the action of the Holy Spirit will cause them to be fulfilled.  I have confidence it will happen.  In the name of Jesus.  Amen.
