Who is the most confident person you know?

View all responses

True confidence doesn’t come from self-esteem. The most confident people I know have set aside self-esteem and learned to rely on continually streaming an unshakable source of inner confidence.

Human beings were made in the image of God, but we have all gone astray from His image and His presence. We have chosen our will instead of His will. By doing so we have broken our connection with His presence and our brain is offline, separated from God’s supernatural streaming. We are living without a deep sense of confidence within us. When a message appears on our inner screen saying that we’re offline, we quickly delete it or ignore it and continue with our disconnected attempts to remove the pain of our separation from the Source of true wisdom.

So, what can we do about it? We can connect with God’s earth link heart innernet service provider with the wireless connection God has provided through the Cross. The password is Jesus. Repeat His Name with hunger and sincerity from your innermost being. Eventually revelation (knowledge that comes from beyond the flesh and blood of the human brain) will begin to brightly shine in your heart. When that moment occurs begin to pursue and maintain that life-giving connection day and night for the rest of your life.

Then you will live with supernatural intelligence. Supernatural intelligence is the wireless signal that is continually calling human beings to inwardly connect with and to constantly stream rivers of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Supernatural intelligence infinitely surpasses the workings of a human brain. It’s not a product of nature. It is downloaded into and streamed though people from the living platform that is out of this world — the Creator of all that exists.

Learn to be guided, directed, led, and controlled by the source of all intelligence, the Creator of all that exists. He became a man as Jesus Christ. Then He made the way for rebellious people to be set free from their self-focus so that they can come into and forever live in intimacy with His presence, because of His sacrificial death on the Cross, His resurrection from the dead, and the outpouring of His Spirit.

Christ-followers are people who have connected heart-to-heart with the living God through the sacrificial death of Jesus on the Cross and who surrender their life moment-by-moment to the direct leadership and control of God’s Spirit living and working within them. Are you ready to follow Jesus?

For Christians to be the light that God wants us to be, we must move beyond superficiality and self-focus and into compassionate, humble heart-to-heart connection with each other and with all who need God’s hope and love. It’s time to make every moment an ongoing celebration of restoration to our heavenly Father and our transformation from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God’s Dear Son!
