God's Credit Rating: EXCELLENT/God's faithfulness towards YOU!!


Dear Family, Be encouraged in this season for blessings are springing forth! The Lord is not slack concerning His Promises. He is faithful to perform whatever He said. In fact, He watches over His Word to perform it. Though the vision tarries, wait for it... wait for it... wait for it! Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him. Fret not thyself. The Lord is thy strength and thy shield. Let your heart trust in Him. And allow the help that comes from His presence and the people He sends to be of comfort to you in your affliction. God is faithful. He will perform all His counsel. For that which He declared concerning you will come to pass.

My heart prays today for the weariness that is manifest among the saints. I see their tiredness. I know their pain. I know their astonishment. For even the kingdom of heaven is like a man going into a far country to return again at an appointed hour. Luke 12 warns us to stay in the place of preparation...don't say in your hearts that the master delays His coming and then go and begin to beat on the servants the Lord entrusted you with. But be in faith. Be in faith! Be in readiness. Be in position.

Cast not away your confidence for it hath great recompense of reward. What does this mean? It means to hold on to the promises you began to hope in. It means stand when all looks hopeless and helpless. It means, trust God when you can’t trace Him. It means to lean not to your own understanding. Don’t be wise in your conceits. Don’t view God and consider Him as man. God is not a man that He should lie; Neither the son of man that He should repent. It means to pray without ceasing and let your heart always be trusting Him.

One of the things God always counseled the children of Israel, was to remember and not forget. Remember and not forget. If you remember the account, they would get in a pickle, cry out to God, get delivered in a miraculous way that blew everybody's mind, and rejoice. However, the next time they got in a pickle, they would murmur and complain. They would forget what He did for them only the time before. This would displease the Lord because when God sets His love on you, to deliver you and keep you alive in famine, He is going to do this for you EVERY TIME. No matter how long it takes. However, He looks to build up confidence in you. He looks to build up hope, faith, and trust in you. That you would always think the truth concerning Him. And that you would speak these things concerning Him. So never forget what He has done or is doing. Because, the fact is…He’ll do it again.

God wants to get glory and honor. He is worthy of the glory and honor. And when He gets the glory and honor in your situation, it draws others to Him. God is looking to draw His creation to Him as sons and daughters, that they would receive the inheritance He’s promised from the foundation of the world. So this brings me back to how I started…

God has not forgotten the promise He made because they are promises He will keep! Be encouraged! God’s credit record is EXCELLENT! Never missed a payment! Therefore we are assured and rest in what’s He’s promised to us. Be encouraged!
