“When God Gives You a Rainbow”

“The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth. It will remind you that I will keep this promise forever.” Genesis 9:12-13

Beloved, allow these words to encourage you today. Whatever you may be going through; whatever trials, tests, situations, or circumstances—remember that God is a promise keeper. Every word that God has spoken to your heart; every promise you have been patiently waiting to come to fruition; God is bringing to fruition if you do not give up and walk away.

I declare and decree under heaven, that this week’s Reflections will be a continued source of encouragement and inspiration for your heart mind and soul. There is absolutely not one promise that God has forgotten concerning you. Though days have passed; even months and some years, God’s promises do not have an expiration date. His word will not return to Him void but will accomplish all that He sent it to do. Even if those promises are fulfilled through your children and grandchildren.

I rarely talk about what I am going through because I am not looking to gain sympathy. 

However, I will ask for prayer, to be lifted in prayer, for those who know how to pray, to stand in agreement with me for the word of God to manifest. To, be strengthened while I wait. While waiting, the Father blessed me with a rainbow; a reminder of His promises me and that in just a while, all will be right.

The waiting gets most of us, because, we have time to think, to worry, to doubt, and for some, to give up. This is why the Father admonishes us to pray daily, to pray often and fervently, and to pull down strongholds, put on the mind of Christ, and to think on the things that lovely, good, and pure. The things that are of Holy Spirit. Of God. 

It is easy to get caught up in what things appear to be; especially when so much is going on and the wait for the promises has been a while in coming to pass. However, just when our soul is beginning to grow weary; when it looks like we are slipping, our fingers are letting go of the rope that has us tethered to our Heavenly Father; God shows up and gives us a rainbow. 

The Father is not about to allow us to slip through His fingers or to give up without a fight or a reminder of His promises. No! He loves us too much. He will send a word to encourage us. He will send messengers in various forms to uplift and encourage us to hold on. These are His rainbows—Physical reminders of His spoken word and promises for our lives.

Beloved, God is not about to allow us to slip through His fingers, to fall out of His hands, or away from His grace and mercies. No. He loves us unconditionally and knows the plans that He has ordained for our lives in this earth, in this season. We have to remind ourselves, as well. To do our part and be consistent in prayer, walking the walk, talking the talk, and being brave in the face of adversity.

My Beloveds, I decree that the spirit of peace and of prosperity has found permanent rest in your lives. I decree that every good thing that God has ordained for your life will become evident to you. Honor your father. Put on the armor of God and saturate the atmosphere with praises to our Mighty God; thanking Him in advance for His promises manifesting and the answers to your prayers. When God gives you a rainbow, the manifestations of His promises are closer than you think! Remember; You are blessed. Now go…and be a blessing!
