Eventualities, castostrophes and adversity, do not change who God is and move him from the place of sovereignty. He is the sovereign Lord and he rules and reigns in victory.
No matter what man may do or say, God cannot be moved from his throne AND I can truly testify that he takes good care of his own. So stand on his promises my friends, trust him in these adverse perilous times.
He WILL make all things beautiful in his time.
He WILL turn what the enemy meant for bad into something beautiful.
He WILL work all things for our good and his glory.
So stand upon HIS promises.
You may not see all happening behind the scenes but know that God is an on-time faithful Father. Perhaps you may be facing persecution, adversity or unimaginable trauma. Give it all to Jesus today. He will take up your case. Intercede for you and cause you to be strengthened. God will turn it around into something beautiful in his time. This test will become your testimony and this mess, your message. There is no-one like this good Father.
Here are the words I am led to share with you today:
Matthew 5
1 When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and when He was seated, His [a]disciples came to Him. 2 Then He began to teach them, saying,
3 “Blessed [spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired] are the poor in spirit [those devoid of spiritual arrogance, those who regard themselves as insignificant], for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever].
4 “Blessed [forgiven, refreshed by God’s grace] are those who mourn [over their sins and repent], for they will be comforted [when the burden of sin is lifted].
5 “Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the [b]gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied.
7 “Blessed [content, sheltered by God’s promises] are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
8 “Blessed [anticipating God’s presence, spiritually mature] are the pure in heart [those with integrity, moral courage, and godly character], for they will see God.
9 “Blessed [spiritually calm with life-joy in God’s favor] are the makers and maintainers of peace, for they will [express His character and] be called the sons of God.
10 “Blessed [comforted by inner peace and God’s love] are those who are persecuted for [c]doing that which is morally right, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever].
11 “Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil things against you because of [your association with] Me. 12 Be glad and exceedingly joyful, for your reward in heaven is great [absolutely inexhaustible]; for in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Take courage in these words today my friends, remember to keep view of where we belong for all eternity my friends - Heaven is our home.
Trust God and live!
You will overcome in Jesus name
Amen
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
