Forsaking All Others
We Must Cleave Only Unto Him!
I believe that should be the other part of this title.
First here is a song I really love to hear. Take a minute to play it for refreshing today if you need it.
“God, Turn it Around”
Do we want a breakthrough and even a reprieve at times in all we are going through?
Good Morning.
Surely there is encouragement to be had today. When the whole world is ‘Shaky’ and being ‘Shaken’, we must turn to Him !!
As I started to pull out my Bible this morning. the Holy Spirit spoke to me, 1 Samuel 12:22.
I found and began here. What a most Precious promise!
“For The LORD will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased The LORD to make you his people.” 1 Samuel 12:22. (Some more scriptures surrounding this one at the very end.)
We must remember God has made us also who was not Israel, to be Spiritual Israel.
In no way is that taking away from God’s promise to His own people. Jesus has just reconciled us to Him by the Cross and the Blood that He shed for all mankind!
That is to all for who call on His Holy Name believing in faith repenting from sin.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8
Included here is this link I wrote awhile back. I just noticed it was written on September 27, two years back. S till it is very relevant here, I feel.
“All Sons and Daughters of Issachar Stand Up!“
Getting back, we can rise above our circumstances, or stay under them. It is our own choice daily!
For other refreshments some of you are needing, read:
“Don’t Throw Your Hope — Your Very Lifeline — Away!“
Just don’t ever throw in the towel or give up! You will make it. We must:
1) listen to instructions from The LORD
2) heed instructions from The LORD
3) Rise up and began again!
“Instructions Are a Way of Life — The Word of God Speak to Us“
We are in a Warfare but we must be good soldiers and endure to the very end. Our weapons are not carnal but mighty into the pulling down of strongholds.
Always remembering we are fighting from a place of Victory. Yet there is still a heavy battle going on!
David had to fight a giant, and as we know won! First, although The LORD had him in preparation. He killed a lion and a bear!
We must take Steps getting stronger as we go! Remembering always, the joy of The LORD is surely our strength!
God bless you all.
Closing with these scriptures today:
“And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:17-25
“And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto The LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king. And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following The LORD, but serve The LORD with all your heart; And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. For The LORD will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased The LORD to make you his people. Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against The LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: Only fear The LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.” 1 Samuel 12:19-25

Great message Joyce! This is the message for this time. And really always! But, it’s well past time to be serious in our walk with the Lord! The verses in 1 samuel are so profound, filled with encouragement and yet warning! His rod and His staff! Thank you. Praise the Lord! Such an encouragement!
Thank you Mary. Yes I agree, it’s well past time to be serious with the Lord!
Our God is a consuming fire and He longs to set us ablaze with His Word to proclaim!
We must keep going forward always!
We all who have kindred spirits down here will one day meet around the throne of God. Big Hug and blessings in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, sis. ❤️
Joyce,
LOVED FORSAKING ALL OTHERS, Cleave Only Unto Him! So much TRUTH in those Words, I wish more would realize the hour we are in, & truly seek the LORD as never before.
TURN IT AROUND, was precious as well. When she said, “He’s up to something.” I saw the LORD turn & smile with a twinkle in His eye, & say, ‘Yes I AM & wouldnt you like to know what it is? HA! HA! HA!”
LOVED All Sons and Daughters of Issachar Stand Up! So important for this time we are in!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING! So important! BLESSINGS! Bev
Bev, What an encouragement you are to many! Thank you for your kindness and love, andsteadfastness in the Lord!
