Promises of Spiritual Strength

But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height; to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:14-19

Do you remember the story of Moses when he saw the burning bush? God spoke to Moses, telling him that he was chosen to lead the Children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. How did Moses respond? He said to God, "How can I speak to Pharaoh? I am a man of plain, not eloquent speech? How will I know what to say?" What was God's response? "I will put my words in your mouth." God gave Moses the words to speak, so He also gives His children promises of spiritual strength.

The two Isaiah passages shown above are two of the most encouraging verses in the Bible. Just as God promised Moses that He would put the words He wanted Moses to speak in his mouth, so God promises spiritual strength to us.

Ephesians 3:14-19 is a wonderful summary of the results of spiritual strength given to the Christian as written by the Apostle Paul. God grants us, according to the riches of His glory, spiritual strength in our innermost being by the Holy Spirit. Because Christ lives in the heart of the Christian, the Christian is rooted in love. This love gives him the power to understand the width and length and depth and height of God! The Christian knows the love of Christ which passes all knowledge and is, therefore, filled with all the fullness of God. Wow!

Like God gave to Moses and Aaron the words to speak, so God gives to His children the spiritual strength to face the difficulties of life. When a dear friend is dying of cancer, or you've been diagnosed with a painful medical condition, or a close relative has just died, God will give you the strength to endure each difficulty. The Christian, because of the Holy Spirit dwelling within, is always looking toward eternity when they will live with Christ forever. The difficulties we face are often devastating and would be impossible for us to handle without the promises of spiritual strength given to us by God.

But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Go today with wings like eagles.

Why study at Christian Success Institute?

God states in His Holy Word many times that He wants to prosper us. He created a magnificent world full of wealth, beauty and resources for those of His creation who love Him. Christ told us that if we love Him we will follow His Commandments. We are told to study to show ourselves approved. The mission of CSI is to teach Biblical Success Principles while making Christ the focus of our lives.

By seeking Christ, by studying the Word of God, we place ourselves in a position of favor in the eyes of our Holy Creator. We want everyone to learn the principles of Stewardship which will prove us. In the parable of the Servants and the talents, we see that God will prosper us and favor us with prosperity when we use His direction in the way we handle His property.
