You Gotta Have Faith

Inmate Insights - The View Looking Out

Written by "Aaron"

I once heard a quote from an older wiser man, in prison during times of trial and efficient amount of disappointments, “It gets greater later.”  I meditated on something that stood out to me about this saying, and the revelation from God came upon me to better understand what this wise man had spoken to me. 

The book of Hebrews in chapter 11 verse 1 was the answer to all my trials, one word, Faith.  It states in this passage,

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Being in prison was a term of confinement but it would create a double standard of being confined in my mind as well.  I began to whole heartedly put my trust in Jesus to get me through my trials and believe me he didn’t just give me peace he gave me deliverance from the mental prison as well as the physical prison.

Trust in the Lord our God with all thy mind heart and soul and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)

Which is exactly what I began to do and then continued to do and the Lord gave me peace and deliverance from my enemies and my present circumstances.  Give God the Glory and have faith my brothers and sisters that you too may get the revelation of God’s wisdom for deliverance from any trials and tribulations that this world brings.


grace, peace + hope
