Just Remember!

Do you feel desperate, overlooked, anxious, worried, forgotten, or defeated? Well take a note of this, “what you feel is not always real!” The enemy is good at using our emotions and feelings to obscure the perspective of our current situation. Regardless of what you are going through this very day, no need to give in, or give up! As a child of the most high God, you just need to Start Remembering!  

I want to take a moment to remind you who He is! He Is:

Jehovah God, who changes not! (Malachi 3:6)

Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider! (Genesis 22:13-14)

Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer! (Exodus 15:26)

Jehovah Rohi, the Lord our Shepherd! (Psalms 23:1)

Jehovah Shalom, the Lord our peace! (Judges 6:24)

Jehovah Elohim, our mighty God! (Genesis 1:1)

Jehovah Shammah, the Lord who is present! (Ezekiel 48:35)

Jehovah Gmolah, the Lord of recompense! (Jeremiah 51:6)

Jehovah Roi, the Lord who sees! (Genesis 16:13)

Jehovah Nissi, the Lord our banner who protects and defends! (Exodus 17:15)

Friend, He is the God of the impossible and there is nothing that God can not do for you.

He placed every star in the sky; spoke light into existence, changed water into wine, and healed a blind man with mud. He walked on water, fed 5,000 with 5 barley loaves and two fish and with the words “get up” the widow’s dead son came to life. He gave sight back to blind Bartimaeus, and just at the touch of his clothes the women with a blood issue was made whole. He spoke to the demon possessed and made them free and with authority He commanded the grave to give up Lazarus! Yet, He has numbered the very hairs on your head and delicately formed you in your mother’s womb with a purpose to fulfill. His plans for you are good and He has prepared eternity (heaven) to prove it!

 Numbers 23:19

God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

To often our vision of God is clouded and lost by our current circumstances. I hate to admit that I have been guilty of loosing my perspective of God during trials and tribulation; it’s easy to do. However, we must be diligent to encourage ourselves in the Lord daily and continue to feed our minds with the word of God. When we allow negative thoughts and mindsets to lay dormant we open our lives to the enemy to come in and wreck havoc.

The bible tells us in Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life.” According to Crudens Concordance, the word heart is used in scripture as “the seat of life or strength; hence it means mind, soul, spirit, or one’s entire emotional nature and understanding. It is also used as the center of an inner part of a thing. Therefore, one would be right to use 'mind' in the place of ‘heart’ in this passage.”

In other words, to guard your heart is to guard your mind, for the heart includes the mind. The enemy loves to play mind games, but we don’t have to accept his invitation to the game. Instead allow the word of God to influence your thoughts, words, actions and reactions and align yourself with His authority!

Oh how I love Him. He deserves our praise without reservation for He is incomparable, all-powerful, mighty, deliverer, strong tower, and faithful ‘til the end!

Prayer

Father I recognize that “Although we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. In Jesus name, We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient unto you!” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)
