Have Faith in God—But Go Further
Faith in God is the foundation of every victory. It opens the door to healing, provision, and peace. But to walk fully in His blessings, we need more than faith—we need bold fellowship with God.
Trusting His Ability and Willingness
Faith in God trusts His ability.
Bold fellowship with God trusts His willingness.
It’s the confidence that He delights in your presence and welcomes you joyfully into His throne room.
Hebrews 4:16:
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
Confidence Born of Redemption
Many believers hesitate to draw near to God because of lingering guilt or condemnation. They think God is still disappointed in them.
The Cross Settles It Forever
Jesus shed His blood so you could stand before the Father without guilt.
Romans 8:1: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.”
Key Point: Confidence toward God is the foundation for obedience. When you know you are loved and accepted, you are empowered to walk in victory.
Stop Arguing, Start Agreeing
Many believers argue with God’s Word, seeing themselves through past mistakes.
God sees you as holy and blameless in Christ (Ephesians 1:4).
He declared you righteous before the foundation of the world.
The Power of Agreement
Stop arguing with God’s Word.
See yourself through His eyes—redeemed, righteous, restored.
Declare: I am redeemed, righteous, and restored in Christ.
Living as Redeemed, Not Mistaken
Kenneth Copeland recounts Oral Roberts’ statement: “I’ve never made a mistake.”
Kenneth realized: Mistakes don’t define us—redemption does.
When you see yourself as redeemed, you stop shrinking back in shame and start walking boldly with God.
Living as Redeemed, Not Mistaken
Kenneth Copeland once shared how Oral Roberts told him, “I’ve never made a mistake.” He explained, “I did things that turned out wrong, but I never woke up intending to make a mistake.” That revelation changed Kenneth’s perspective. He stopped seeing himself as “Mr. Mistake” and started seeing himself as “Mr. Redeemed.”
That’s the shift we all need. Mistakes don’t define us. Redemption does. When you live with that confidence, you stop shrinking back in shame and start walking boldly in fellowship with God.
Entering God’s Rest
Confidence isn’t about striving harder; it’s about entering His rest.
Hebrews 4:9–11: “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.”
Rest in the Finished Work
The rest is the assurance of Christ’s finished work.
You don’t have to earn His favor—you already have it.
Fellowship Filled with Joy
God desires joyful, confident fellowship—not fear or distance.
1 John 1:3–4:
“Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.”
The Relationship God Desires
Not distant or formal, but bold, joyful, and confident.
Sit with Him and enjoy His presence.
Faith Declaration
Prayer:
“Father, I thank You that I am redeemed, righteous, and holy in Christ. I refuse to live under condemnation. I enter boldly into Your presence, confident in Your love. I declare that I am Mr./Mrs./Ms. Redeemed, not Mr./Mrs./Ms. Mistake. I walk in fellowship with You, full of joy, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
Call to Action
Don’t settle for guilt or condemnation.
Step boldly into God’s presence today.
Open your Bible to 1 John 3:21–22 and declare: “I have confidence toward God, and whatsoever I ask, I receive of Him.”
Spend 10 minutes fellowshiping with God—speak to Him as “Abba, Father,” and thank Him for your redemption.
Summary & Key Takeaways
Faith in God is the starting point, but bold fellowship takes you further into His blessings.
Redemption removes guilt and condemnation, empowering you to approach God confidently.
Entering His rest means trusting in the finished work of Christ, not striving.
God desires joyful, confident fellowship—sit with Him and enjoy His presence.
