NOT ASHAMED

They Were Not Ashamed

 I will bless the LORD at all times;  His praise shall continually be in my mouth.  My soul shall make its boast in the LORD;  The humble shall hear of it and be glad.  Oh, magnify the LORD with me,  And let us exalt His name together.  I sought the LORD, and He heard me,  And delivered me from all my fears.  They looked to Him and were radiant,  And their faces were not ashamed.  This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. Psalm 34:1-6

Those who have called upon the Lord and have been saved, healed, delivered and filled with His Holy Spirit are to walk in the way they have been called. Walk with the purposes of God.  They are not to look back on their past. It is over. They are look to the future it is bright in Christ Jesus. They must be patient for they will reap in due season if they faint not.

They are to hold to their  faith even in bad times. Hold to it even in good times. Hold to their faith and are to let nothing come between them and the Lord of their life. He is the only true answer to life. He is the Way-Maker in the desert. He is the Calm in their storms.

As a result God's  true children are not to be fearful. They are only to walk with their  head held high and trust in their  heart with all humility and assurance that He is with them  always. His word is true:

"Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses . "From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory. "No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.

"Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. "

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:3-9

They must be strong and courageous for as God  was with Moses so He will be with them. He will not leave them nor forsake them. They are commanded to do and observe the word of God so that they may prosper wherever they go and have good success. They are commanded to be strong and of good courage and not to be afraid nor dismayed. For the Lord their God is with them wherever they go.

They must keep up the faith. Keep up the walk. Keep up the trust. Keep up the chin. Keep up the smile. For God is coming through for them. The end of the tunnel is coming. The break of day is dawning.

These are His words and not theirs. He is leading through the darkness. He is providing as He has provided down the centuries for many before them. This is only the beginning of what the Ancient of Days can do for those who love Him. They must place their hand in His  and walk on together as friends and not as foes nor enemies!

For their God and friend is always with them and for them and never against them. He will never betray them as others have done. He will never turn His back on them as others have done. He has walked in His integrity before them and He will do what He has promised He would do. He will prosper them and bless them and provide all their  needs according to His riches in Glory.

The time for restoration and the destruction of what the cankerworm has eaten is at hand. The road to healing and unity and peace is here. They are not going down the wrong path. It is sure that the promises He has given them are secure.

Others many have wavered. Others may have not achieved what God intended for them but that doesn’t mean they are the same or will end in the same way. They can do what they want and together with God they will do what they  want. Then others will see the great difference. It will be glorious. For men don’t understand the difference between true friendship and mere showmanship.

So, God's true ones must walk on with brave hearts. For God Himself is walking with them. He is encircling them and surrounding them with  His love and protection and provision. He is stepping into history on their behalf and changing the circumstances they are in because He loves them  and they  trust Him  to do it. His word is true:

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!  For His mercy endures forever.  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,  Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,  And gathered out of the lands,  From the east and from the west,  From the north and from the south.

They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way;  They found no city to dwell in.  Hungry and thirsty,  Their soul fainted in them.  Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,  And He delivered them out of their distresses.  And He led them forth by the right way,  That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.  Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,  And for His wonderful works to the children of men!  For He satisfies the longing soul,  And fills the hungry soul with goodness. Psalm 107:1-9

God’s true ones are to keep holding to God's many wonderful promises and trusting Him for the manifestation of the miracles. They must  keep saying and believing that  “The Battle is the Lord’s! I expect all my miracles to come to true.” They are and they will.

They are to keep on expecting and trusting for God is on His throne and He is a miracle working God. He is moving the mountains out of their lives  and is casting them  all into the sea. His word is true:

"Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." Matthew 21:21-22

God’s true ones can move the mountain with Him and greater things they will see. For their God is changing the landscape of their territory. He is healing the land.  He is changing everything and in dues season everything will be different.  They must walk in total faith in God for He is their rock, refuge, strength, shield, reward and great deliverer. They can rest in the palm of His hand and learn the meaning of true trust of the Father. He will not let them  down.

They are to look to their Rainbow, Jesus and all the promises He has made to them.  His promises are coming and one day will be manifested totally to them. Faith is the substance of things hoped for the things not seen yet. But they will be seen one day  as God has promised them.

The harmony of the universe is His  and the beauty we see is His  and all of creation is His There is no one greater than He is and there is none who can help God's  people besides God. He is the Way-Maker in the winds of the storm. He is the one who still the waves and commands  the winds to be still and they obey His commands.

His beloved children are not to  look at the waves but are to Him. He will set the captives free! He desires to set them free and He is doing it this very hour because He loves His true Ones always!

They are to look to their great defender, redeemer and friend  and  defense and high tower the only God in the entire universe.  There is none like, nor ever will be in the entirety of eternity like Him! HE IS IT.

God is always with His own and the can trust Him and leave everything in His hands. He is capable of handling everything that concerns them.  The road of life might be rough, mountainous and dangerous but God. Himself is with them through it all.  He  will promote, establish and bless them beyond their wildest dreams.

For as He has been with Abraham, Joseph, Joshua, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Jesus and many others so He is with and for them  and not against them. They can put their total trust in Him and His word and expect many miracles. He has them waiting just for them.

Many wonderful things are coming their  way. They can expect them. Trust for them and depend on Him for them all. It’s real! He is real and His  promises are real! Their  prosperity is coming in like a flood. Their  wealth is coming in like a great and mighty river. Their  riches are coming in like a great ocean of beauty and blessings and peace with it all.

The Lord has  promised them  peace and prosperity. He has  promised them joy and health. He has  promised them healing and well-being. He has  promised them riches beyond their  believing. He is able to provide it for He is their Salvation and everything they need.

He will bring the concrete facts to pass as promised, on schedule and with many benefits and unexpected miracles and provisions attached to them. He has promised and He is able.  For after all He is their Heavenly Father. His word is true:

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

Heaven’s gates are wide with the resplendent beauty He has awaiting for them all. He has opened the winds and gates of Heaven for them all. He has opened the coffers and the sanctuary for their service and benefit. They have all the miracles and provisions they could ever desire. Heaven hears their every cry and need and desire. There is nothing they will ever lack again, as they trust Him.

But He  expects them to be very wise in the use of the things and gifts He is laying at their  feet. They are a sacred trust given to them because He believes He can trust them with them and they will be used rightfully and properly and well. They will be shared and distributed to the hurt and needy. They will be given to whomever needs them and wherever they are needed. They will be imparted with love and tenderness and wisdom. They will be freely given as they have been freely received.

For a  new day has dawned in the realm of the Spirit. A day of blessings and callings and prosperity in the true sense of the word. Prosperity of soul, body and spirit. Prosperity of wisdom, philosophy and favor. Prosperity of provisions, blessings and good things. Prosperity of character, strength and courage. Prosperity of  healings and wholeness in the inner man. Prosperity of ministry, miracles and healings for others. Prosperity of the whole man. This is now all theirs for God’s faithful beloved true children.

God's  true ones must  keep on praying and trusting and expecting many miracles. They are all coming their  way. God has  promised it to them and they are coming. They are still the unseen substance of things hoped for and one day they will be the material them can touch under their  hands. They must remember Him that day. Remember He said it and promised it and did it. They are not to forget Him when they  are prosperous and happy and full of plenty  but to praise and thank Him for His goodness.
