ONE OR THE OTHER

We can confess one thing or the other. We can brood over and talk about the problems we are going through (which is what we usually tend to do), or we can choose to confess that God us with us.

God gives us such a wonderful promise in Isaiah 43:2, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you., When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you." I hear many women confess how they are going through deep waters, or going through a fiery trial. The problem is that when we keep talking about our problems and difficulties we end up staying under them.

Did you notice something in this Scripture? God promises that when we go through the deep waters, that "I WILL BE WITH YOU." When we are enduring the fiery trial, He says, "YOU WILL NOT BE BURNED." We have to change our confession, "Oh God, I thank you that you are with me in this trial. You are bigger than this problem and I trust You!"

Your confession determines how you come through your trial. You can come out in victory, or with the smell of the fire upon you. When you confidently put your trust in the Lord, and CONFESS OUT LOUD that God is with you, it will turn your heart from the difficulties to the Lord. You may still be going through it, but you will go through it knowing His power and presence.

And when He is with you, who can be against you?
