• A COMMAND PERFORMANCE

  Welcome!  Blessings!

   

  I’ve got another praise report!  I requested prayer for my friend Livia because her apartment building caught fire & left her homeless.  I had received an email from a friend of hers that stated she had lost almost everything.  Well, she never received any word of it (& neither did the Lord).  She came in to work today and hugged me, praising the Lord and telling of His good greatness & His great goodness!!!  A tenant was smoking in bed and caught the mattress on fire.  The place of origin was on the opposite side of building to where her apartment was located.  The fire then traveled up that wall and then spread to the floor above her apartment.  The fire NEVER touched her apartment–she only suffered water damage.  Not even her curtains were singed.  Her only concern was the pictures of her grandmother & she was able to retrieve them and take them to a photo shop.  The shop owner could not believe the great condition that the photos were in, having been near the flames, heat, smoke & moisture.  I told her that it reminded me of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.  I told her that we had been praying for her and just like God promised in Isaiah 65:24—before we even called, He answered and while we were speaking, He heard!

   

  Our confidence and expectation for the performance of the promise should be solely in the One who promised: not the irrelevant circumstances or subjects surrounding the promise.  For in the promissory note (His Word), the One who issued and sealed it with His signature is the only One responsible for making it good.  How could we ever doubt anything that He has guaranteed with His name?

   

  And blessed is she that believed:  for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.  Luke 1:45

   

  Every word that God has promised, every thing He’s spoken;

  Always has been brought to pass and never has been broken.

   

  Some have challenged me and questioned, “How shall these things be?”

  I just know that what God’s said is of a certainty.

   

  Some have wondered just how long my faith will stay in tact;

  I’ll yet trust and wait and know God’s timing is exact.

   

  And some even inquired as to why I do believe;

  Well, that’s the most simplistic thing to do for to receive.

   

  His Word tells me that there is a rewarding recompense;

  For those who stay and do not cast away their confidence. 

   

  So, I will not give place to doubt and have my faith attacked;

  Though I don’t know how, when or where, I know God’s Word’s a fact!

   

  …For I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.  Acts 27:25

   

  …GOD, THAT CANNOT LIE, PROMISED!!!   Titus 1:2

   

  For when God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He sware by Himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.  And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.  Hebrews 6:13 – 16

   

  I will worship toward Thy holy temple, and praise Thy name for Thy lovingkindness and for Thy truth:  for Thou hast magnified Thy Word above all Thy name.  Psalm 138:2

   

  I will cry unto God most high; unto God who performeth all things for me…For I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me…God, that cannot lie, promised…Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)  Psalm 57:2; Acts 27:25; Titus 1:2 & Hebrews 10:23

   

  Be Outright Encouraged!
