AT ALL TIMES


Trust In Him At All Times

My soul, wait silently for God alone,  For my expectation is from Him.  He only is my rock and my salvation;  He is my defense;  I shall not be moved.  In God is my salvation and my glory;  The rock of my strength,  And my refuge, is in God.  Trust in Him at all times, you people;  Pour out your heart before Him;  God is a refuge for us. Selah Psalm 62:1-3

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16

Jesus Christ being a man can sympathize with all that His brothers and sister are going through. But being God He is more than able to do something about it all and work it all out for their good. Therefore His trusting ones can wait for God alone who pour out their heart before Him. For God is their refuge for them as well as their rock, salvation, defense, glory, and help. His word is unchanging:

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear,  Even though the earth be removed,  And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;  Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah  There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,  The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;  God shall help her, just at the break of dawn Psalm 46:1-5

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.  In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.  There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:1-5

The River of God can and will do what no other can do. It’s the river that flows from God Himself whose streams shall heal, deliver, anoint, set free and make joyful God’s true children. For God’s word is true:

They shall come with weeping,  And with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters, In a straight way in which they shall not stumble;  For I am a Father to Israel,  And Ephraim is My firstborn.

"Hear the word of the LORD, O nations,  And declare it in the isles afar off, and say, 'He who scattered Israel will gather him,  And keep him as a shepherd does his flock.'  For the LORD has redeemed Jacob,  And ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he.

Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion,  Streaming to the goodness of the LORD-  For wheat and new wine and oil, For the young of the flock and the herd;  Their souls shall be like a well-watered garden,  And they shall sorrow no more at all. Jeremiah 31:9-12

For in this mighty River of God flowing on earth today, there is healing, deliverance, truth, abundance, joy, and provisions supplied. God is that mighty river and His anointing is flowing all over the land.  Flowing  to heal the brokenhearted, give liberty to the captives, open the prison  to those who are bound, comfort all who mourn,  console those who mourn  to give them beauty for ashes,  the oil of joy for mourning,  and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

Flowing so that the poor and needy ones may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. As a result they shall rebuild the old ruins,  They shall raise up the former desolations,  and  shall repair the ruined cities and the desolations of many generations. 

The River is flowing and all who desire to enter it will do so to their benefit and profit. For God withholds no one from so entering into it. Yet many, by their own fears, do not enter in because of unbelief and they allow the beauty of the River to pass them by. They are foolish indeed but that is their choice. But God is moving to change their hearts but if not judgment comes to all.

If men continue to quench God, as they have done in the past, they will reap the rewards of that quenching and it will not be pretty. For God is not to be disregarded.  They will receive their due reward and it will not be what they had hoped for.

Men think that by their service to God that He is pleased with them no matter their actions. But that is not true.  He wants their obedience and not their sacrifices. He wants the river to flow out of them so that it will bring great release, healing and change all around them. His word is unchanging:

 In that day the LORD of hosts will be  For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty  To the remnant of His people,  For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,  And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. Isaiah 28:5-6

The hypocrisy is that men every think they have achieved something when they have achieved little of lasting value in the Kingdom of God. God seeks those who will surrender all to His service: Those who will honor Him in Spirit and in Truth; Those who love Him with a pure unadulterated heart; Those who seek Him with a good conscience and sincere faith.

God is pleased with such as these. For He loves to have depth to develop in His people and that they walk in His wisdom and desires. He has a special individual path for each one of them but they must walk in purity and holiness. There must be no wavering in their opinions of God or themselves in Him.

They must desire to keep all of His love because they fear God. Yet, so few really walk in this like of surrender. Often, they are holding back in their spirits. They are seeking more than God is willing to give them at a given time. They are walking in disobedience to His direct commandments to them. They have ignored His laws.

But time has come for real changes. For God desires to give people opportunities to repent and turn from their evil attitudes and return totally to Him. Yet, His patience does wear thin from time to time and then He sends the judgment people really don't want.  They are sorry they have received a consequence for their sins and wonder how it could happen to them. But they refuse to blame themselves for their troubles and fall into greater sins. They compound sin upon sin until they are unable get themselves out of trouble. They are now held bound by their habit of sin.

Yet the hour is coming for God’s true ones when specific answers will come immediately for specific requests.  When immediate answers will be given to current prayer needs. God has opened the door to this kind of miracle. He has opened the door for sweeping change. The hour of deliverance has arrived for the Children of Israel, that is all of Abraham's children, not just a select chosen few.

Time is coming when all will sit down the Lion and hear Him roar and praise Him for His great roarings. He is the manifest power of God upon the earth in human form. He represented God's love upon the earth and His delivering power. He has come to set the captives free and bring the Power of the Holy Spirit to bare in the lives of ordinary men and allow them to see great unimaginable miracles. This hour is now upon us. His word is true:

The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. "Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."

Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. "You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.  "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things."

Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He." John 4:19-26

 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."  But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:37-39
