God will make know to the nations those who are his and they will proclaim the rock of their salvation and strength to the Glory of God.  This is not the work of men but of God as he reestablishes his chosen people. 

It is of great importance that we develop the character of Christ Jesus so that we will be like him in all of our ways.  This can only be done in relationship with him not in religious practices.  This is where he reconstructs our character while preserving our personalities for his glory. 

Often we are perplexed in how the Lord moves and in his timing concerning the wickedness of this world and those who are apart of it.  We have this assurance that his mercy endures, and his salvation is yet sure for those who trust in him.  Remember that his ways are not our ways as far as the heavens are above, so is his ways far, far above ours and his plans for us will not be overthrown as long as we are obedient and faithful to his word and guidance concerning our personal lives. 

The blessings of God are provided to those who reverence, respect, love and obey his will concerning themselves and their house.  The blessings of the Lord are manifested differently with each of us and often go unnoticed.  Seek him with all your heart all the days of your life and he will show you his salvation. 

Even in difficult time we have so much to be thankful and grateful for concerning our God. We have the hope of our salvation and redemption from the evils of this world and the corruption of our bodies.  We will no longer be what we appear to be in this life, but we will be transformed and be like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Holiness and righteousness.  Never to be corrupted with the sin nature of the first Adam and Eve. 

Through Christ Jesus we who are born again are now apart of the family of God. We are a royal people and priesthood ordained by Christ.  We are a new creation although in appearance in the flesh we remain the same.  Understand our citizenship is not of this physical world that will soon pass away.  We have become citizens of a kingdom that will never, ever end.  Only the King of a Kingdom can grant citizenship to his kingdom.   This has come about through his personal sacrifice on the cross and his redemption of our soul.  It is time for us to come into greater knowledge of who we are and Whose we are in order for his kingdom to come on Earth and his perfect and divine will be done in our lives and in the lives, we are destined to touch. 

There will be times in our lives when we will be convinced because of the situations we are in and the confusion that it brings our prayers no longer have any effect.  We when look at the world and how things are unfolding be convenience we have been forsaken.  However, we have not for he has said in his word he would not leave us nor forsake us. Understand that many things in this life and in our lives must come to pass and that if you are experiencing much trouble and have been living a life acceptable to God.  You are in warfare and the testing of your faith and have been ordained to go through the fire of purification to prepare you and mature you for your calling and destiny in Christ Jesus. 

Often when we speak with the direction of the Holy Spirit, we are exposing sinfulness and injustices in our areas of influence. These must be identified for correction and realignment to take place in the lives of those we love and have great concern.  Remember that we are in an ancient war between Light and Darkness and between the Kingdom of God and of Satin.  Our words are life unto those who receive Christ and his salvation and instruction. 

Daily we must seek the forgiveness of the Lord God as with each day we become stained with the sins of the world and the transgressions of our self-will.  We are not what we shall be and struggle with sin natures as we grow in graces to overcome our own weaknesses. 

Many are the enemies of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us from them all. His deliverance come in many forms depending on his will for us individually.  Yes, we go through trials and tribulations for his purpose and for our maturity but we can always rest knowing it will work out for the good of those who are called according to his objectives.
