But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me. Isaiah 49.14

This kind of attitude towards problems is a testimony to a lack of faith. Otherwise, we would be witnessing he Father’s faithfulness, and not weeping as the unsaved do. However, incredible as it may seem, many Christians act exactly the same. It doesn’t even seem like they live in an impeccable way, without giving in to the devil. Unfortunately, most believers give way to Satan!

The church ends up convincing itself that it won’t have any more problems, because if it does, it has consecrated pastors who will deliver it from its afflictions. This is a lie. On the other hand, those who really believe in God the Fulfiller of His promises are victorious at all times (Numbers 23.19). The problem of not receiving the blessing is not because of the Most High, but because of those who do not live the Word (Mark 11.24). The Almighty always honors what he promises!

The Lord declared the following: No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life: as I was with Moses, so will I be with you: I will not leave you, nor forsake you (Joshua 1.5). Do we need any more message from the Most High, to trust that we will never be forsaken? He said this to Joshua, who was taking over the command of the children of Israel in Moses’ place, after his  death. This promise is for those who believe!

The Most High says the same to all who feel they must do the work of Jesus (John 14.12). First: no one would stand before the man of God. This means that the saved person can and should enter the battle without fear every day of his life. Second: Just as God was with Moses, He will be with those who assume themselves to be continuators of the Master’s work!

Evidently, the devil will tempt those who offer to do the Lord’s work, so that they will interrupt the mission given by God. It is certain that the enemy will never present himself as he is, saying that it is best not to disturb him. If this happens, the servant of the Most High will attack him. Now, the evil one does this because he knows that his days are numbered, and he does not want people to be encouraged to believe in the Son of God. The evil one’s intention is to leave people isolated!

The Bible talks about Christ’s return and the guaranteed overthrow of the kingdom of hell: Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time (Revelation 12.12). Those who belong to Jesus will frustrate Satan’s dream. The heavenly Father will take care of us! He who is not yet born again is in danger, for the enemy is all around him (1 Peter 5.8).

The Lord changes your weeping into joy (Jeremiah 31:13). The Savior has already defeated the devil, dethroning him from his kingdom of wickedness. There is no reason to be sorry for what is not true, for God will never forsake you nor forget you. Look at what Jesus said about all those whom the Father gives to Him: “Whoever comes to me I will by no means cast out (John 6.37). Rejoice!

In Christ, with love,
