The Playlist - part 3 - I Will Be Confident

I hope these words written by Pastor Steven Furtick help you like they did me. I first heard the words below while visiting Elevation Church on New Year's Eve for their Praise Party event. The words below (in video form) were used as the countdown into 2018. (You can also watch the video below if you prefer that instead.)

-------------------------------------

The Lord is the strength of my life;

Of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked,

Even mine enemies and my foes,

Came upon me they stumbled and fell.

Though a host should encamp against me,

My heart shall not fear;

Though war should rise against me,

In this I will be confident

I've got a promise.

Turning back is not an option.

There's a calling on my life

And I'm not about to drop it.

I got this.

For this I was chosen.

The final word over me was spoken before I was born.

I have a purpose that goes far beyond

What I want, what I feel, what I see,

And what they say cannot be.

With God, all things are possible,

And when my desire aligns with the divine

I am unstoppable.

In this I will be confident

Of course the climb is hard

- I'm not surprised.

The dream is difficult by design

To make sure I rely on

His might, not mine,

His plan, not mine.

His hand, not mine.

My assignment was conceived in his heart, his mind,

And the blessing ahead

Will always be greater than the battle behind.

So this is not the time to compromise

Or entertain a thousand lies

And a million reasons why I can't

Or it won't or it's not or I'll never.

I've heard it before,

So shut up, devil.

God didn't say He'd make it easy.

He said He'd make me better, make me strong,

And give me grace to carry on.

No matter what the opposition

I only need one weapon

- I have the faith to overcome,

In this I will be confident.

I'm too close to quit,

And the stakes are too great for me to hesitate.

So whatever I costs,

Whatever it takes,

I'll keep coming.

I'll show up.

Take the shot with hands shaking.

The fear is real,

But it won't brake me.

God will not fail me nor forsake me.

I'll keep coming.

I'll step to the battle like

It's already won,

Like I got the enemy on the run,

I speak and believe like

It's already done.

In this I will be confident

He made me a promise.

He game a calling,

I know that He's able to keep me from falling.

I focus my hope.

My excuses are gone.

The moment to prove the power of God has come.

He made me a promise.

He gave me a calling,

I know that He's able to keep me from falling,

I focus my hope.

The past is gone.

The moment to prove the power of God has come

In this I will be confident.

The time is now,

The odds are long,

The haters are loud,

The pressure is on,

But devil,

You messed with the wrong one.

I got my sling,

I got my stone,

And in the name of my God

I will overcome.

In this I will be confident.
