He Has Not Forgotten You!
He Has Not Forgotten You!
~ Hold On To The Promises~
It Is Time To Reap!
God has not forgotten all that you have done for Him. It is time to press through to obtain the promises that He gave you many years ago. Cling to Him and His word right now because Satan and his cohorts want you to give up because they know that you are about to breakthrough! Yes hang on,and keep doing what you do. Put on the whole armor of God because it will show you all the tricks of the enemy in this time of transition!
Stand Out In The Crowd
Stay in the secret place because that is where you will be delivered from the snare of the enemy. Jesus is your hope for all eternity! He made sure His word would never fail you if you cling to it and do not faint!
I hear the Lord say:
“It is surely reaping time! Don’t faint, don’t faint, but cling to My word as I did in my wilderness time because you are about to come forth in the power of the Spirit for such a time as this! If you must reach this finish line alone, then by all means forgive those who hurt you in your transition as Job did his friends and received double what he had lost and stand out as did Moses choosing to associate with God’s people rather than have all of the riches and position of Egypt!
Your reward will be to bring my people out of bondage in the days ahead with the knowledge that you have gained in your pain! Yes it is time to stand out of the crowd! My champions are arising!”
“For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name’s sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do. But we do [strongly and earnestly] desire for each of you to show the same diligence and sincerity [all the way through] in realizing and enjoying the full assurance and development of [your] hope until the end,
In order that you may not grow disinterested and become [spiritual] sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith (by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are [now] inheriting the promises. For when God made [His] promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom to swear,
Saying, Blessing I certainly will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you.(And so it was that he [Abraham], having waited long and endured patiently, realized and obtained [in the birth of Isaac as a pledge of what was to come] what God had promised him. Men indeed swear by a greater [than themselves], and with them in all disputes the oath taken for confirmation is final [ending strife].
Accordingly God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath. This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us].
[Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot [break down under whoever steps out upon it — a hope] that reaches farther and enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil,
Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek,” Hebrews 6 10-20 ( AMP).
