On What Else are you Basing your Confidence?

Isaiah 30:15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it."


“Do not allow the enemy to undermine your confidence as you press into your desire for total dependence on Me. On what else are you basing this confidence of yours? For your confidence cannot be in man, nor your flesh, nor this world. Find your courage and confidence and press into the new so that you can leave the old behind. You must free yourself of the old desires that are self-seeking and trying to overwhelm you and force you to forfeit the destiny desires that I placed in your heart when we danced together in the secret place. Gain confidence in Me. Put your trust and reliance in Me. For I Am He; the One who has never left you or forsaken you. Yes you have lost much in the last season, but there is no measure of loss that can compare to what I have planned for you from before the foundation of the earth. Yes, let your soul take refuge and finds shelter and confidence in Me. Yes, in the shadow of My wings you must take delightful refuge and be confident until calamities and destructive storms are passed. As you transition you must keep your focus and keep your eyes stayed on Me for I will keep you firm and strong and I will be the Light unto your path so that your foot is not caught in a trap or any hidden danger. You have come to a new place, a higher level and as you come up higher you shall find your confidence as you submit to reverent and worshipful fear of Me. This is a season that I Am commanding you to get lost in My Presence so that you can find your place of peace and joy. Turn and return again to the communion we shared when I was your first love. As you return to Me in confident faith trust and love through devoted prayer, fasting and worship I shall direct and establish your way confidently. Choose this day. Again I say, on what are you basing this confidence of yours?”


Proverbs 3:26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.”

Proverbs 29:25 “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever leans on, trusts in, and puts his confidence in the Lord is safe and set on high.”

Jeremiah 17:7 “[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.”

Hebrews 10:35 “Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward.”
Luke 17:6 “And the Lord answered, If you had faith (trust and confidence in God) even [so small] like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.”

John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]”

Hebrews 4:16 “Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Hebrews 6:18 “So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us.”
