I Am Persuaded - Revisited

I don't think I've ever posted the same thing twice, but in this case I think there might be good reason. 

In thinking about the following statements, the Holy Spirit made me realize that it is not only a compilation of statements that speak my heart,  but they are true statements that we can speak boldly as His children. They provide something for all of us to hold onto in the midst of a world whose spirit tends to be oppressive and negative toward us. They give us courage and speak truthfully of our place and identity as we walk though this place on our journey to Him.

Because of all that He has promised, because He is who He is, and because of all that He has spoken, we can with deep conviction state that we believe ... that we are persuaded to hold the following to be true: 


I am persuaded ...

... that no matter where I am or what I may face throughout the breadth and length of eternity, my name is on the very lips that spoke all of creation into existence ...

... that before trouble even conceives to approach the threshold of my life, my defense has already been made and incontestable victory is my gift in the face of oppression ...

... that though I walk lowly, contemptible and unworthy on the earth in the hierarchy of men, my place has been made ready in the highest court of the Sovereign God of the universe ...

... that though I may be called to suffer in this place, His compassionate and forbearing spirit of love for me dictate His intention to prosper me for my future in eternity ...

... that His wisdom is perfect and profitable against the advent of any situation though it may found to be consternating and confusing to the wisdom of men ...

... that the laws of nature and of men are subject to His omnipotent perspective and even His intervention at His choosing because His perspective is the reality of all that exists ...

... that though this flesh will certainly cease to breathe in life, my eternal spirit will be found in the presence and glory of the Omnipotent King at that very moment ...

... that these things are made irrevocably and immovably certain by the ancient and unerring history of His faithfulness to all that He has spoken ...

... that the very and only begotten Son of the Living God made these things certain to me by His sovereign choice against my unworthiness to share in all that is His ...

... that of all these things I am most certainly persuaded against all measure of condemnation and rebuttal, for my God is sovereign and without challenge to deliver all He has promised ...
