GOD IS FAITHFUL

When I woke up this morning I saw everything in my life in a negative light.

I could not pray,  speak Gods Word or even meditate on it in my thoughts.

I even recalled things from the past and started to feel as if nothing is worth 

believing in.  

I started to cry and as I was feeling so down,  I received

 a whatsapp message from my girlfriend Juanita who lives in Limpopo:

WHAT ARE YOU LETTING ARISE IN YOUR LIFE?

IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT ARE YOU 

FOCUSING YOUR WORDS, ENERGY,

AND THOUGHTS ON.?

YOU MIGHT SAY, "OH, ITS JUST SO HARD RIGHT NOW.

MY FINANCES ARE TIGHT.

 MY HEALTH DOESN'T LOOK GOOD

SOMEBODY WALKED OUT ON ME"

NO, YOU'RE FOCUSING ON THE WRONG THINGS.

YOU'RE LETTING DEFEAT, DISCOURAGEMENT AND

SELF-PITY RISE UP.

WHY DON'T YOU TURN THAT AROUND AND SAY,

"GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL

SOMEBODY MAY HAVE WALKED OUT ON ME,

BUT I KNOW GOD IS GOING TO BRING

ME SOMEBODY BETTER.

I MAY BE HURTING RIGHT NOW, BUT I KNOW GOD IS

THE RESTORER OF MY SOUL.

I MAY HAVE A UNEXPECTED DEBT, BUT

I KNOW GOD IS MY PROVIDER.

HE IS SUPPLYING ALL OF MY NEEDS.

HE IS FIGHTING MY BATTLES.

WHEN YOU GIVE GOD GLORY AND LET HIM ARISE

IN YOUR LIFE, YOU CAN'T STAY DEFEATED.

NO FOE CAN STAND AGAINST YOU IN THE PRESENCE

OF ALMIGHTY GOD.

YOUR ENEMIES WILL BE SCATTERED!

THEY WILL TREMBLE AT YOUR WORDS OF FAITH!

LET GOD ARISE AND EMBRACE THE BLESSING

AND VICTORY HE HAS PREPARED FOR YOU.

What a faithful God have I.  Faithful in everything.

Don't let the devil take charge over your thoughts.

BY HIS STRIPES I AM HEALED

THESE BONES WILL SING.
