Faith?The Effect Of Righteousness
…and the effect of righteousness quietness and
assurance for ever (Isaiah 32:17).
Our opening verse reminds of the true
definition of faith in Hebrews 11:1 which
says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is the quiet,
confident assurance of what we hope for and the reality
of things yet unseen.
That’s the reason Jesus said, “…If ye have faith
as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this
mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it
shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto
you” (Matthew 17:20).
The effect of righteousness is faith; mountain-
moving faith; with which you affirm that all things
are possible unto you, living without fears, worries,
conflicts, and agitations. Isaiah 54:14 says, “In
righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be
far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from
terror; for it shall not come near thee.” When you’re
established by God in righteousness, you become
unshakeable and inmovable (1 Corinthians 15:58).
In the underlined portion of the verse above,
the word “for” means because or whenever. In other
words, you shall be far from oppression because you
shall not fear. Why will you not fear? Because the effect
of righteousness has produced quietness, assurance,
and confidence in you forever; it has secured you in
Christ. You’re no longer in the arena of those who’re
oppressed by circumstances, situations of life, demon
spirits, etc.; you’re not under the oppression of the
enemy. Rather, you’re in charge and in control. To
walk in the consciousness of God’s righteousness is
to walk in glory, dominion, and the strength of God.
Hallelujah!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the effect of righteousness in
my spirit. I’m established in righteousness, therefore, I’m
far from oppression and from terror. Nothing is impossible
to me, for I walk in the might, dominion and liberty of the
Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
