For Single Parents
I am impressed to speak a word of comfort and encouragement to single parents.
You may have been going through many daunting challenges financially and emotionally and have even been marginalized because of your situation. But Jehovah has heard the sighing and groaning of your young one(s).
Jehovah provides not only for your temporal needs, but for your whole man, your spiritual as well as your emotional wellness.
He desires that you be healed and the burdens be removed, which is the weight of your instability and brokenness.
You have prayed, but by virtue of your children’s silent cries, Deliverance has come!
I hear in my Spirit, “I AM Jehovah Jireh and I provide for My own.
I know that you have been numbered as an outcast, but I have come to rescue you.
You have been tossed and afflicted without relief and your child has seen your distress but be not afraid, take comfort.
Have I not spoken, that I will supply your needs according to My riches in Glory?
Have I not spoken and declared that the young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but there is no want to them that Fear Me and walk upright before Me?
Have I not spoken and declared that the seed of the righteous shall be delivered?
You are My righteous seed and by Covenant, I will fulfill My obligations.
Only now, walk CIRCUMSPECTLY as I AM sending My Angel and He bares My Name, not only to bring you resources that you need — but to protect you, to guide you along this journey!
Your children shall indeed be mighty in the land, for you I have chosen.
Be not afraid nor dismayed. You have been afflicted and wounded with words but I will give you peace.
I AM Shammah and I AM with you.
Your grounds have been parched, but I will give you water that you will not thirst again.
See now even with your eyes of faith the lands I will give you to possess.
The earth shall yield it’s increase to you, and the seas give up what belongs to you.
Come, o weary, let Me give you rest!”
“And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.” Genesis 21:17
“Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.” Psalm 67:6
“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: But they that seek The LORD shall not want any good thing.” Psalms 34:10
“Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.” Psalms 112:2-3
An Enemy of God
If you are going out of your way to try and sabotage or frustrate or hinder the ministry and work that has been assigned to a man or woman of God by GOD, you are operating in the spirit of Sanballat and Tobiah and you are an ENEMY OF GOD.
Sanballat and Tobiah were two prominent adversaries of Nehemiah, who was called to lead the Jewish people in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. (Read the book of Nehemiah)
Sanballat and Tobiah sought to undermine and hinder the work of the Jews, using various tactics such as ridicule, mockery, and conspiracy.
Nevertheless despite their threats and schemes the rebuilding of the walls had to prevail as it was Ordained and Commissioned by God.
Just like Sanballat and Tobiah just know that your weapons of criticism, cynicism, obstacles and roadblocks will not prosper and are condemned according to Isaiah 54:17
Who shall stand against The LORD’s Will? What The LORD has. purposed, who can annul?” according to Isaiah 14:27, Acts 5:39
“So I am telling you: Hands off these men! Let them alone. If this program or this work is merely human, it will fall apart, but if it is of God, there is nothing you can do about it—and you better not be found fighting against God!” Acts 5:38-39 MSG
Promises and Obedience
Sometimes the reason the Promises of God haven’t manifested in our lives is because we are not positioned spiritually, relationally, geographically, environmentally to receive.
God’s command for Abraham to leave his country and kindred was a crucial step in the fulfillment of God’s plan to bless Abraham, establish a covenant with him, and ultimately bring salvation to all nations through the lineage of Abraham’s descendants, particularly through Jesus Christ.
Our Obedience in hearkening to God’s instructions and directions, and commands will greatly determine our delay, stagnation or advancement.
Sometimes the things we go through are a test to see if we are truly ready to receive what God has for us but we keep holding on to be old habits and behaviors, past and worn out things, places and “familiar” individuals when God is saying “Let the dead leaves fall.”
In this time of acceleration and promise fulfillment, I am reminding myself also to Trust in God in whatever His is doing!
I pray we will hear the voice of The LORD clearly, and Obey — so as to move forward in our destinies!
Shalom

Yes Amen
Syreeta, Having been a single mom who raised two (no longer young men..smile) but two long serving leaders in ministry and business, I just wanted to jump in and give a word of deep gratitude to the best FATHER! What you said, I can shout from the rooftops “Have I not spoken and declared that the seed of the righteous shall be delivered? You are My righteous seed and by Covenant, I will fulfill My obligations. Only now, walk CIRCUMSPECTLY as I AM sending My Angel and He bares My Name, not only to bring you resources that you need — but to protect you, to guide you along this journey!” When we were hungry, Food was delivered to our door. When we needed rescued, He sent help. When they wanted to go to ORU, they were given scholarships and money came from unknown sources..to GOD BE the GLORY! And then, when they were released to serve Him, I was released to answer the call to the nationsand the first year, He sent me to 5 countries with NO MONEY! GBU Sandi Holman
Your children shall indeed be mighty in the land, for you I have chosen.
What a wonderful God God bless you for your testimony woman of God. This is encouraging that Jehovah is glorified. Hallelujah
