Don’t faint. The Lord is on your side!

“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say” Psalm 124:1, NKJV.

If it had not been for knowing that the Lord was on my side, I would have already lost it. I would have thrown in the towel a long time ago. When it seemed like I was going down, He would always bring me up. When my family size increased, at the right moment, my income would increase, too. When it seemed like my faith had been shipwrecked, He would allow a situation to show me I haven’t changed, and in fact, He made me stronger.

You have seen Him move too much in your past not to lift your hands and trust Him now. He is with you, and since He is with you, who can be against you? Your circumstance has no choice but to get better because Christ has given you a better covenant with better promises. Your tribulation has no choice but to make way for the goodness of God.

The Lord says don’t faint, but hope in Me. I’m here. Have faith in Me because it will get better. He won’t let the enemy overcome you. He will never leave or forsake you. The Lord is on your side.

Prayer: Father, I praise and give you glory. It looks like there’s no victory or blessing in sight, but if it had not been for knowing you are on my side, I would have given up. You won’t fail me. It will get better! I choose to keep going, and I declare that all things are working for my good. Speak direction and wisdom into my life. Thank you for being on my side. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

(Read Psalm 124 & 126, Romans 8:28-35, Hebrews 8:6)

  1. At work some coworkers lied and painted a bad picture of me. I was replaced by someone else. My supervisor told me that it had nothing to do with what was said about me. However, I strongly believed that it played a role. I discerned that people were plotting and scheming and even had a dream of one of the plotters before I got the news that I would be replaced. Up to that point, I had gotten many positive reports from other staff and clients and then suddenly I was replaced. It turned out that my co-workers indeed had done and said wicked things about me. I was shaken up by this truth for weeks. Even in the midst of being dismayed, I prayed for my enemies. I prayed for their salvation and that God would have mercy on them. The Lord even led me to pray for one of them personally. I took one of the major plotters whom God had warned me about in a dream by the hand and prayed. I encouraged and prayed for slanderous co-workers. I even thanked God for them. For it was their actions that freed me and provoked me to purpose, a new career and starting a business God placed in my heart three years ago that I did not move fully into because of lack of faith. Now, after so many new words from God, Him bringing past words to my remembrance, and revelations that He has given me personally and timely prophetic confirmations my faith is so strong. This devotional made my faith even stronger! What the enemy meant for evil, God is using for good. I trust Him. He is taking me into a land overflowing with bountiful blessings, so that I can turn and be a greater blessing to others. I am starting the ministry He placed in my heart. 😭 I’ve started my business and have started to take steps towards a new career. The career is temporary because when my business generates enough income I will be financially independent. In the mean time, I am not worried about money or how my child and I will be taken care of. I’ve seen the Hand of Jehovah Jireh again and again. What He’s done before, I am fully convinced He will do it again. This devotional increased my faith even more. I’ve said, yes. I will say what He tells me to say, do what He tells me to do, go where He tells me to go so that many will be saved, blessed, healed, delivered and set free. As I obey Him for love of Him and for love of His people, I know I don’t have to worry about my son or I going hungry or us having a roof over our head. Factually speaking, my money right now is very little, but my God is very BIG. I am becoming a true woman of God because I am becoming a woman of faith. I’ll never forget your message, Sister Kesha on Don’t go back to Bondage. Thank you Pastor Bernard for this morning’s devotional. The devotionals written by you guys and my sisters are so very timely and prophetic. They are a part of what God uses to keep me going. I love you all so very much. More strength, favor and blessings to you all in Jesus name.

    The faithful will abound in blessings (Proverbs 28:20 NRSV).

    1. Amen what a powerful testimony I just went through something on my job I would never imagined. I work for the County Psalms 35 says the Lord will strive against those who strive against us they have me a writeup for 18 whatever lesson there is to learn, we bare up under all things and holding our cross…awesome testimony sis blessings..πŸ’œπŸ™πŸΎπŸ’œπŸ™πŸΎ

    2. Right after I wrote this, the Lord revealed this scripture to me. β€œAnd God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8 NRSV). God is shifting and even pushing many of His children into new things because of what is coming to this earth. He wants us to learn faith now because we are going to need it in days to come.
      He is calling some to use what is in their hands to build wealth now so that in those times not only will they have but they will be able to give to others. Use what He has placed in your hands (gifts, knowledge, skills, etc) by faith, and He will multiply it. He is like the mama bird pushing her babies out of the nest so that they can learn to fly. It is time to soar for His good pleasure, your good and the good of others. We are to be the solutions and light in darkness both now and in the times to come.
