Title: Enthusiastic Faith
Contents
Bible Text: Isaiah 49:14-21
ecstatic faith
There are people in this world who look like me, but no one is just like me. I am the only one All of me is my own. My face and my body are mine, and the thoughts, thoughts and dreams of my heart are mine. The words and voices that come out of my mouth are mine. My fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my shadows are mine too. My successes and victories, my mistakes and failures are also mine. Some parts of me embarrass me, and some of my thoughts excite me. I see, hear, feel, think, speak and act. I have my thoughts, I have my words, I have my beliefs.
Jesus told someone to do what you believe and do what you believe. May you be ecstatic with faith.
Be sure of your identity, the precious me.
Enchanted faith has confidence in the precious me. Believing in my worth in Christ Jesus is an ecstatic faith. If you ask who the most used evangelist in the 20th century is, it is Billy Graham. 100,000 people flock to every gathering he leads. The rally in Korea in 1974 was attended by over 1 million people. Billy Graham proposed to a girl he liked in college, but was rejected. But there's something the girl said when she refused. “Billy, you have a good personality, you have a good personality and attitude, but you don’t seem to have the ability. I want to marry a man who can succeed.” The girl did not know that Billy Graham was in Jesus the Empowerer. He later set up an evangelism group and broke the girl's nose while preaching the gospel anywhere in the world.
“How can a woman forget her suckling child, and will she not have mercy on the son of her womb? Even if they forget, I will not forget you. I have carved you on the palm of my hand…” (verses 15-16) This is a person who has been engraved on his palm and looked at from time to time. Those who realize that they are valuable are proud and happy. If you want to discover your own worth, you must listen to God's voice and look to God. Confidence is believing in yourself and belief is your willingness to observe your thoughts.
There was an eagle chick where the eagle eggs, along with the eggs, were hatched in the mother's bosom and grew with the chicks. One day, when I was acting like a mother chicken, seeing chicks as brothers and sisters, and thinking of myself as a chicken, I saw an eagle flying in the sky and discovered my identity. I've never flown before, but eagles have the instinct to fly. The eagle soared toward the sky.
Look to God and discover your true identity. Finding yourself before God is the greatest discovery than discovering the Americas. One factor that causes people to fail is a lack of belief in themselves.
A picture hung in the office of the confident golfer Arnold Palmer.
-My creed-
“If you think you lose, you lose; if you think you don’t, you don’t.
If you want to win but think you can't win, there's a good chance you won't win.
In the struggles of life, the strong and fast do not always win.
The one who wins is the one who thinks he can win.”
“Blessed are you, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is your shield and the sword of your glory. Your enemies will be subject to you, and you will tread on their high places” (Deuteronomy 33:29). I hope that you will see your true identity through the mirror of the word engraved on it, be convinced that you are a happy person, and be ecstatic with faith. I am a child of God! I am the one whom God loves! do you believe
Imagine the successful me vividly
Faith is hope. is to imagine. The ecstatic belief is vividly imagining the successful me. Look at the ecstatic faith of the prophet Isaiah. “Lift up your eyes and look in all directions, for they all gather together and come to you… Your desolate and desolate places and your ruined land will now be narrowed down because of the multitude of inhabitants, and those who swallowed you will go far away.” 18-19)
I imagine the children who were taken into captivity return from all directions. This is the ecstatic faith of the prophet. Everything was destroyed and it was an empty land with nothing, but now it is cramped with too many people. Before, I was weak and the enemy was strong, but now the enemy is weak and I imagine being driven away.
If you want to be successful, dream of a “successful me”. Then it will succeed. “If you dream vividly, it will come true.” This is the power of ecstatic faith. Most people believe that talent and hard work bring success.
It's not like that. Those who dream of being successful will succeed. To achieve the nonsense, you need a nonsensical way. Abraham did what he hoped for, and what he hoped for came true.
Ship King Onassis He was ugly and never went to college. However, after 4 years from 1923, he had a bankbook worth 1 billion won, and 10 years later, he had a wealth of over 100 billion won. Onassis was a bookworm. He discovered the formula for success by reading the stories of successful people. He did not marry until the age of 37. One day, by chance, I saw a girl and was shocked like a thunderbolt on my chest. The problem was that the woman of my dreams was only 16 years old. After three years of courtship, they got married. Onassis was 40 and the woman was 19. The formula for success discovered by Onassis is that “If you dream vividly, it will come true.” By vividly dreaming, he obtained wealth and women.
As a business person, imagine a scene where customers come in like a tide. Have a positive imagination and passionately paint what you want at a time when you worry about not being able to do business. Just like painting with paint, draw your dreams with faith. Anything you can dream of can be achieved.
The truth of life is simple. You can get what you imagine for yourself. Worry and worry only lead to failure and unhappiness. I hope you paint a picture of success with hope and faith. David said, “Moab is my bath, and I will cast my sandals on Edom” (Isaiah 60:8). They will bathe in Moab and use Edom as a shoe store. They envision making Moab and Edom slaves. It is an ecstatic belief to imagine myself already successful. Fascinating belief creates ecstatic success. Amen!
I, who is ecstatic, will do what I believe.
The ecstatic faith has a ecstatic self-portrait. Fascinating beliefs make for a dazzling reality. The word ecstatic means dazzlingly dazzling and splendid. You don't know how enchanting, beautiful, and cool it is when you let your imagination run wild in the world of dreams. How enchanting is the Bible you read today? It is ecstatic imagination, ecstatic prophecy, ecstatic faith. To the enemy, “The land that was trampled into wormwood and ruins is now too cramped and uninhabitable, and those who tormented you will retreat.” Hearing with his ears” (Joint Translation Verses 19-20).
It is true that Isaiah's prophecies feel like nonsense. Because it is a dreamlike story and a story that can only exist in an imaginary world. “Sing to you, barren and barren; shout and sing, you who are barren, for there are more children of single women than those of husbands, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 54:1).
What do you mean? The lonely woman here refers to the time when Israel left God and left. It is like a woman who has abandoned God, who is her husband. “Then you will say in your heart, “Who has begotten this group for me… Who brought up this group? I am alone, and where did this group come from?” (verse 21). It means that water overflows the sea. “It was as if we were dreaming when the Lord brought the captivity of Zion away” (Psalm 126:1). A dreamlike reality has come true.
Studies have shown that unlucky people imagine a bleak future and question whether people like me can do this. Conversely, lucky people imagine a wonderful future. We create a wonderful future by imagining a wonderful future. We hope in God and imagine in faith.
The dream is in the attic, but the content is heaven and ecstasy. Sky Mansion decorated with golden jewels. The day will come when I have an enchanted dream and believe in it. You should dream of a healthy self even if you are lying in a hospital bed. You have to imagine poor but rich. The dream of a revival church creates a field of revival.
Picasso was not a famous artist to begin with. There was a long, long period of obscurity. His paintings did not sell. It was a continuation of a poor life. And yet, he imagined himself to have attained wealth and fame. And say in your heart, "I'm going to become a billionaire by painting!" “I will become a painter who marks a milestone in art history!” “I will live and die rich!” He dreamed of becoming famous, as he said in his heart. From poverty to riches, from unknown to famous, we have created a dreamlike reality.
Jesus said, “When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to me” (John 12:32). After He died on the cross, was resurrected and ascended into heaven, the Holy Spirit will come and lead all people. Jesus' enchanting dream came true after the Holy Spirit came.
I am precious. Knowing and believing in one's own worth is an ecstatic faith. “For my sake I will not give my glory to anyone else” (Isaiah 48:11). Imagination is the kite we can fly the highest. The size of your dreams determines the size of your success. Look at yourself who has already succeeded, and think, speak, and act like a successful person. I hope that you will create an enchanting scene with enchanting faith and enchanting imagination. “What I have envisioned will surely come to pass, and what I have planned will surely come to fruition” (Isaiah 14:24). Enchanting is like dealing with a successful work of art. Ecstasy is the thrill of reaching the highest peak.
