Yes, what makes a person so confident, good question.
First, it started in 2005 with a 5 hour Divine opening of
The Doors of Perception ...maybe called an exp of Cosmic Consciousness...I also call it, yet another Divine Visitation.
The residuals lasted a good 2 years, this time...
In Jan 2006, I opened the Bible for the first time, haha, being raised Catholic!
I laugh!
I dropped the book on my lap when I was hit with the jaw dropping realization that, 'There is a THEME here!"
Oh, it makes me laugh!
The theme that jumped out at me was this...
Do not worry, Be anxious for nothing, Be not afraid,
Give him your burdens, cast your cares, Focus
on the things above and not on the earth...rely on your Father for everything...and from that moment on I did.
I didn't worry about anything...if a thought came in I would laugh and tell God, "That was not my thought ...
it just came and passed through!
I have complete faith You will take care of my car and my mortgage..."
Then, I saw He did...He took care of every little thing in my life...
having my car fixed by someone...a $900 job..always my mortgage being paid each month with NO concern
what-so-ever on my part.
(I am self-employed, income is never stable or consistent)...until
I was given that $100,000 to just pay it off.
See, either you believe and practice Jesus' advice or one does not.
You must know Who you are in this creation...and then you see the power we were born with...this builds clarity and confidence.
I did, I do...and the All That Is, Creator, Holy Spirit that permeates even your thoughts
takes care of those that love Him, trust Him, rely upon Him...look to Him for everything...
I have started threads to please try for only a week trusting in Him ...to see for yourselves.
Seeing is believing...blind faith goes only so far, in my opinion.
Sit in stillness ask God Himself to show Himself...He will.
I do not believe someone can fully, wholeheartedly trust in something they have only read about.
You can not love something you have only seen a picture of and read about...you must 'know' that thing...whether a place, a puppy or God.
My advice to anyone is sit in stillness with the intent to know God.
Albeit, it is a stillness beyond most people's belief.
THEN, you will have confidence in God, because you
will know and understand Him...and His limitless love.
I kinda went off...I usually do, talking about my Father.
