ANB 58, Confidence to Receive

Tonight I was in church and I heard our Pastor (Creflo Dollar) say the following line, “Your
manifestation is in your confidence.” Immediately this rang with my spirit and I knew this was a
crucial revelation to last a life time.

Now first of all when he spoke of manifestation he meant the appearance of a thing you are
believing God for. Let’s say you are believing God for an answer to a question, or salvation of a
friend. The manifestation would be the answer or the salvation. Or if you believing God for a
new car, your manifestation would be the car. So Pastor said that our manifestation would be in
our confidence.

Now I, hopefully like you, am believing God for many things right now. (If you are believing
for nothing you will be receiving nothing, just so you know.) I’m willing to do anything God
says for me to obtain what I am believing for. I’ve prayed, confessed scriptures, prayed in
tongues, read the Word, sang praise songs, I’ve done many things. But something was missing.
Many times we will feel like manifestation is so close to us but there is one last bolt on the door
we have to turn. The first thing we have to remember is always that God wants us to have good
things more than we could ever want them. Jesus told us that if our earthly fathers know how to
give us good gifts how much more does our Heavenly Father know how to do so. God always
wants us to receive good things from His hand. So He will always faithfully tell us what we
need to do. Just go before Him in prayer, spend time in the Word, when you feel the Word speak
back, or something pop into you that you hadn’t thought about, then that’s probably it. (Quick
‘is it from God check’ nothing that is not in perfect love for God and your fellow man will ever
be direction from God. Nothing that is not allowed in God’s Word will ever be direction from
God).

Now sometimes the special thing you must do to complete your faith may be a seed, or it may be
more prayer, or it may be commitment to honor God with the thing. It could be a character issue
you have to deal with. Really these are all forms of seeds, but seeds come in different forms.
For everything in your life a seed is required. Your life is a physical manifestation of all seeds
sown by you or others into your life. Everything operates by seedtime and harvest (Genesis 8,
Mark 4). So as I listened today I realized that I have not had the proper confidence. I have
added this now by faith, in Jesus’ Name, to my faith, and my manifestation is knocking on my
door, Praise the Lord.

So let’s review a few scriptures and you’ll see how I could so easily agree with an arguably bold
statement by Pastor Dollar.

“But Christ as a Son over His own house; Whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence
and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” Hebrews 3:6

“For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto
the end.” Hebrews 3:14
“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompence of reward. For you have
need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. . .if
any man draw back, [God’s] soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:35-38.

“And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope
unto the end: that you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience
inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:11-12

So we see three extremely important ideas here: confidence, patience and faith. Focusing on
confidence, we must be confident above all in God and His Word. His Word says you are healed
in your physical body (1 Peter 2:24), you must have confidence that His Word is true. If you go
around beat up by physical pain you won’t get healed. If you let your spirit get fatigued and if
you begin to murmur and complain you are showing no confidence. For all the promises of God
in Christ are Yea and Amen. His Word will surely come to pass for all who involved themselves
with It.

I must be confident God’s Word will manifest for me. I have my healing now, Praise the Lord. I
have my car now, Praise the Lord. I have my (whatever I am believing for) NOW NOW NOW
NOW NOW NOW NOW. This is absolutely crucial. You must come to understand Hebrews
11:1. Read it until you do. I have what I ask for now. I am confident that I have it. The thing’s
manifestation will appear when I need it.

If we are not confident, then it’s not a confidence problem we have, it’s a faith problem. It’s a
faith problem because if we really believed God’s Word then we would be full of confidence.
Without faith you can’t please God and you’ll never receive anything from Him. You must
believe God. Praise His Holy Name.

On the other hand, confidence, especially confidence to the point the world would say you’re
crazy, shows your faith. Build up your confidence and you are building your faith. Glory to
God. Increased faith/confidence can only lead to a quicker manifestation, Praise God.

Go get personally pumped up on God and His Word. Start believing God for some things His
Word promises. Then read 1 John 5:14-15. Thank God before the manifestation for the
manifestation. Receive.
