It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever found yourself worried about matters that were out of your control? You knew there was nothing you could do about it but nevertheless your days were (are) spent stressed out. You now spend everyday asking the same questions: “What am I going to do?” “How can I make things better?” “Where do I go from here?” Have you ever known someone who assumed all news was negative? Everytime you tell them there’s something you need to talk about, the first thing they assume is they have done something wrong. Even after you have proven that nothing is wrong, they assume something negative is coming. What do you do when tomorrow is seems so far away? What do you do when your past refuses to let you go? So often in life the enemy will do whatever he can to keep you from walking in to the promises of God for your life. he will send whomever and whatever he can to hinder you. A friend’s negative thought, thoughts of your past mistakes, a loved ones feeling of doubt, or your own second guessing can become the biggest hindrance in your life.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Please do not misunderstand me. There are times when God will speak to you through your family and friends, but there are also times when the enemy will do the same thing. It is important for you to be able to discern the difference (test the spirit). God speaks so that you will become better, while the enemy speaks so that you will become bitter. God speaks so the end result is His glory, while the enemy speaks so the end result leads you to destruction. Have you been there? Are you there now? My friend, Don’t Let Anything Hinder Your Promises! The Bible declares in 2 Corinthians 1:20 – For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. How many times have you told someone your dreams and they talked you out of believing? How many times have you shared the promise God made you with someone else and they questioned whether you really heard from God? How many times have you had disagreements with people because you had the faith to believe and they did not. It is important for you to understand everybody will not understand the promises God made to you and your family. With that being the case, Don’t Let Anything Hinder Your Promises!
My brother, my sister, God cannot lie. If He said He would do it, you can rest upon it. His promises will always come to pass. Think back over your life. Think of all the things He brought you out of or spared you from. The enemy desired to sift you like wheat, but God intervened right on time. Who is like the Lord (Psalms 113:5)? Is there anything too hard for God (Genesis 18:14)? I say no. Beloved, Don’t Let Anything Hinder Your Promises! The Bible declares in Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? What has God promised to you? Has it come to pass yet? If no, are you still believing it will? If yes, do not allow anything nor anyone to detour you. Yes there will be challenges. Yes there will be doubters and second-guessers. Yes you may get tired. But if you hold to God’s word, nothing shall be able to separate you from His love (Romans 8:39)? Today you be encouraged. God has not forgotten about you. He has not forgotten His promise to you. Hold fast! Stand firm! Ready yourself! Continue to worship Him? Keep watch! Prayer for Today: Father, I know you are God all by Yourself. I know that Your promises will not fall by the wayside. Today I stand reassured that You have not forgotten about me. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
