This is a statement of faith. I could support it with anecdotes, but they could be easily dismissed. What God uses to confirm my faith not work for you. So I'm just going to make this declaration and allow Him to confirm it in your heart, or not, as He sees fit.
Having a mind to embrace and obey the Laws of Noah, particularly as reflected in the teachings of the New Testament, and a commitment to claim the promises of that covenant, will produce noticeable concrete results in your life. It matters not a whit how successful you are in implementing this; by faith your competence will increase. It matters not the whole world around you militates against that covenant loyalty; your commitment is what matters.
Every day, I face the same trials and tribulations all believers see, and perhaps more than many. In a few cases, some of my worst detractors are members of my own extended family. Yet, I will assert with all the power I possess: The promises are stacking up around me. Things for which I pray, having their own inherent endpoint, have all come out according to my faith. Multiple disasters have swept close by here, but none have actually struck. Things I seek, either I receive, or I have peace about letting them go. More than anything else is this unshakable sense I am on the right track. Things great and small confirm it every hour.
Giving yourself to the Law of Moses is a pointless waste of time, for Jesus closed it on the Cross. However, the Covenant of Noah stands even today. Insofar as we have a Law, it is Noah, a Law which points back to the spiritual Truth which cannot be put in words, because He is a Person.
