You might be alone but not forsaken

Sometimes it’s hard for me to find an objective point of view in the things that I am called to face, withstand, endure and overcome; and so I have to take hold of the promises of God to brighten the darkness that hovers in my mind.  And sometimes, it’s equally hard for me to find those promises, let alone be able to take hold of them, and that’s when I have to go to the watering of the word (as I usually call it) by turning on the TV, Radio, internet, DVD, or sometimes all or them at the same time to drown out the battle cries of failure that lurk precociously close to those promises and strive to disseminate my divine inheritance, but then if I listen from just the right angle, I would hear things like Joyce Meyer saying that “the promises of God are for whosoever will,” or Bishop Eddie Long saying that “God’s answer to the problems we face is yea and amen,” or Juanita Bynum preaching on the “unsnatchable treasure,” or  Bishop Fernandez saying “perseverance is the key,” or Bishop T.D. Jakes preaching “Woman Thou Art Loosed,” or R.W. Schambach saying, “You don’t have any trouble, all you need is faith in God,” or Pastor Cheryl Brady, Timothy Flemming, G.E. Patterson, Bishop Jasper Rolle,  Bishop Rodererick R. Cesar, or Carter Canlon from The Time Square Church, or Donnie McClurkin, or Mary Mary, or any one of the other hosts of messengers that God sends with his timely word, echoing in my ears and piercing the darkness to illuminate my spirit – and I would smile, and “give God thanks, and praise for the watering of the word upon my weary soul, to nurture, nourish and enrich my spirit and give me a fresh wind (or fresh oil, as the case might be) to hasten my steps and renew my strength for the next leg of the journey, or bridle my tongue that I might now sin with my eyes, or open my eyes (or close them as the case might be), and clothe me in a right mind to equip me for the battle because that giant must come down (whatever that giant might be) and the bigger thy come, the harder they’ll fall, or just simply remind me that “we’re fighting from victory, not to victory.”   This is one of those trying times, but for all intents and purposes, the only thing I received in my spirit is quite simply, “You might be alone but not forsaken,” – and I sighed and said, “Lord, I thank you for loving me with an everlasting love, and my prayer is that you’ll empower me to do the same.”

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13 & 14)

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in (me) will perform it unto the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6) Honestly, I’m alone, but most definitely not forsaken, because my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness, and through it all, I’ve learned to trust in Jesus, I’ve learned to trust in God – I’ve learned to depend upon his word, and in due season I know that I will reap a just reward because I might be alone, but I’m not forsaken, and I will continue to tarry – and testify to that truth for as long and as often as God permits, because the full portion of my inheritance lies with God.

Working Always to the Glory of God and the Wonder that is His Living Word!
