“God Cannot Lie”
“God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither
the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and will he not do it? Or
hath he spoken, and will he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19

Do you trust God? Do you
believe what God has spoken concerning your life? Do you believe He is able to
do just what He said? Are you confident in God? Do you walk in confidence and
faith? Or, are you bound by fear and unbelief? Have the current circumstances in
this world shaken your faith? Know this truth, beloved. Hold it in your heart
and remind yourself daily: God. Cannot. Lie.
I decree that this week's Reflections
will be a continued source of encouragement and inspiration for your heart,
mind, and soul. I pray you will believe with all your heart, that no matter
what you are faced with; what this world is hit with—this is your season—your
season to believe and walk in the promises of God. That, you will know in your
heart, and believe with all your soul, that whatever God has promised you; He is
making good on them.
I understand clearly those
times when you feel that none of what you have been waiting for is going to
happen. I understand and clearly identify with the thought, that maybe God has
forgotten you. Perhaps what He has promised is not going to happen. I know what
it is like to wait and wait, and as you wait, to feel your faith get a little
shaky; to the point that you almost stop believing. I have been there, beloved.
I understand, that in light of everything going on—the coronavirus, the quarantine,
the loss of employment and finances for many; how it affects your state of mind
and faith. I understand. However, I am holding on. Just as I held on before, by
speaking the word of God. By meditating on His word. By praying, fasting, and
surrounding myself with like-minded people.
In this world, we are
surrounded daily with people and things that are contrary to our walk, in God.
We are faced with wickedness and fear, and doubt and unbelief. We often walk a
fine line while navigating this narrow path every day. Yet, we must continue to
believe in our God. We must continue to walk in confidence and in faith,
knowing that God has us covered. That, what we are waiting upon is coming to
pass. But, in the meantime, we have many obstacles to contend with. Many
battles we will fight. Yet, through it all, we can overcome and see the
promises of God fulfilled in our life, if we follow God's instructions.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well-doing:
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Ephesians 3:12-13 ...in whom we have boldness and
access in confidence through our faith in him. Wherefore I ask that ye may not
faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.
Yes. Times are difficult right
now. Our paths are bumpy. Things will happen in our life that will look nothing
like the blessings of God. In fact, it may even look like we don't serve God or
that there is a God. Yet, God tells us that this is a faith walk. That, we
cannot walk this walk, or run this race by what we see. We must believe and
walk by faith. We must endure the hard times and have courage, believing that
God will see us through each and every time.
These are those times beloved,
when God is conditioning our heart. These are the times when our faith is being
developed. When God is preparing us for what lies ahead. These are the times
when you are so close to the manifestations of God's promises in your life
coming to pass, that the enemy is hell-bent on causing you to lose focus and
give up. To walk away from your miracle, from your blessings and promises.
Don't you let that happen!
Don't you dare come this far and give up on God, when God has not given up on
you! God has equipped us with everything we need to make it through this race.
He has already assured us the victory. Jesus made us that assurance when He
went to the Cross and defeated hell and death.
Everything the enemy is doing
is designed to get you to forfeit your promises. He is strategic in his war
against you. You must be strategic in your prayers and faith. Do not grow weary
while doing the will of God. Though those times of weariness will come, shake
it off by remembering the promises of God. Don't just read the word, pray the
word. Stand firm in what God has told you. Now is not the time to get quiet.
You must declare and decree what God has spoken concerning you. Declare His
word to the atmosphere.
Surround yourself with those
who can encourage you and not commiserate with you. Remember all that God has
already done for you. We often forget past victories because of the severity of
the current circumstances. People change, circumstances change, but God does
not change. He will keep His promises to you. He will complete in your life
that which He has started.
Do not allow the spirit of
fear to block you. Fear is a tormenting spirit that will blind you and keep you
from receiving all that God has ordained. It is subtle in nature, and can
blossom into doubt, than unbelief. God has blessed us with power, love, and a
sound mind. His power that works in us. His love lives in us. The mind of
Christ rests in us.
I don't care what it appears
to be; what it looks like at the moment; what the news reports are saying, you
can believe with every fiber of your being, that God is not a liar. He cannot
lie. He will do just what He said. We must believe. We must have courage. We
must have faith. We must learn to pull down the strongholds and evil
imaginations that the enemy uses against us. Greater is God in us than he that
is in this world. If God was not so great, and your life was not so precious
and valuable, and destined for greatness, as well, the enemy wouldn't take
another look at you. But I have a feeling that just as Job, God has been bragging
on His children again. And if God believes we can pass these tests, and be all
He called us to be; then it's about time we start believing it, too and
believing in Him with all our heart and soul.
My Beloved, I decree that the
spirit of peace and of prosperity has found permanent rest in your lives. Whatever
you take from today, remember this: God cannot lie. He has already worked
things out for you. His promises will come to pass. Stay in with a heart of
faith. Believe in Him with all your heart. Trust Him where you cannot trace
Him. Continue in prayer and meditation. Leave the enemy to God. He knows just
what to do. You are blessed. Now go...and be a blessing!
