THE GIFT OF FAITH IS YOURS TO LAY HOLD OF
For years I have been building your faith, granting you My Word and confirmations with line upon line. You have climbed straight up this ladder of faith, and trusted Me with each step. The higher you climbed, the greater was the gravity against you, and yet because of the previous Words you were given, you were equipped to make this climb into the heights of faith.
Dear ones, having done all, said all, and stood upon all of My promises, what you overcame in faith shall be manifested and imparted as the gift of faith. What you see in the ashes of circumstances, is what it took to receive this great gift. Your progression of faith, having believed and then yielded to death of self, has produced a great harvest. Look past the past and align yourself with the truth of My Word. Extend your hand and lay hold of the spoken promises. Lay hold, put into your hand, touch, feel, know and grab on. They are not lost; they are yours. Passing from death to life, the hinge of faith has opened doors into new beginnings. Rain, rain, rain My Presence, miracles, power and fellowship upon My people.
Phil 3:12-14 AMP
Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own. I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
Heb 6:18 NKJV
For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.
