Without a
doubt God will answer!
By Riqui Ricón*
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and
strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. Though I walk in the midst of
trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the
wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.The Lord will perfect that
which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
(Ps 138.3,
7-8a).
Having a relationship with the one and true living God
through His Son Jesus Christ and His Word, gives you peace and security in
life, because you know that He does not lie nor repent and if you cry out to
Him, He will answer you and this strengthens you and brings force to your soul,
that is to say, to your emotions, thoughts and feelings.
My
beloved, these are good news! This is Jesus Christ’s gospel, to be certain that
in the middle of any trouble you are facing, He will strengthen you. The gospel
of Jesus Christ is to be certain that God himself will extend His hand against
anything that overwhelms you, whether it be sickness, poverty, fear, anxiety or
loneliness. His right hand will save you! For it is secured by His Word of
Honor that God will fulfill His purpose in you.
For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For
God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world
through him might be saved (Joh 3.16-17).
You are
not alone, He has not left you, nor will He ever forsake you .Think about it!
God loves you so much that He chose to deliver His own Son rather than losing
you, how could you even think that He is not listening or that He won’t
respond?
He
that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not
with him also freely give us all things? (Ro 8.32).
God is
not a man, He cannot lie, neither is He a son of man so He should repent; He
said it and will do it, He spoke it and will execute it, and He will do it with
you in your own life.
And
David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear
not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee;
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work
for the service of the house of the Lord(1 Ch 28.20).
You are a
child of God Born Again and now you live in the shelter of the Most High and
you dwell under the shadow of the Almighty, who is nothing less and nothing
more than your own father.
For ye have not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby
we cry, Abba, Father (Ro
8.15).
In all,
absolutely all the areas of your life you are more than a conqueror, through
Him who has loved you, Jesus Christ. For though even if earlier in your life
you have made a disaster of it, that your father and your mother have disown
you, however, says the Lord, He will take you for himself.
When
my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. (Ps 27:10)
It has
never been God's will to condemn you, but to save you and make you heir of His
blessing.
While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house
certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any
further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was
spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe (Mr 5.35-36).
So he
wouldn’t bother the teacher anymore, Jairo was told that his daughter was dead,
and probably at that time he was about to lose hope, however, Jairo believed
Jesus’s Words, who said, don’t fear, only believe.
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came
unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord,
my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And
Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion
answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my
roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For
I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man,
Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do
this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he
marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not
found so great faith, no, not in Israel (Mt 8.5-10).
Throughout
the Bible there is nothing like or close to what happened in this episode of
the life of Jesus. Here a Roman centurion did something unheard of: He made
Jesus Christ the Son of God (God made flesh), marveled! This man knew something
that you should know and believe, that God can not lie, you can trust fully and
completely in His Word, which is God’s Word, precisely what defines him as God
because in it, in His Word, is contained all His power and authority and,
therefore, the Word of God has all the power and divine authority to enforce
itself.
And
they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa:
and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye
inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established;
believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper (2 Ch 20.20).
No matter
how decisive or crushing your reality is today, I inform you that, it is
subject to God’s Word: Fear not! Only believe!
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any
thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we
know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions
that we desired of him (1 Joh 5.14-15).
So if God
in His Word says that He loves you, then you can be sure of the Love of God. If
He says that He hears your prayers to address them, then you can trust that He
does. If God says in the Bible that you can do everything and that you're more
than a conqueror in all things, then that is the Truth and you can believe it,
believing Him, that you are neither more nor less, the person God says you are
now in the Bible, His Word.
Pray
outloud:
Dear
Heavenly Father, I believe and receive Your great Love. Thank you for what you
have done for me and I give you my heart. Lord Jesus, thank you very much.
Because of You, and only you, I'm now a son of the King and I am destined to
succeed in everything and have a full and abundant life. Therefore, I refuse to
fear! You, who are with me, are greater than the one that is in the world! If
You, God, you're with me, who can be against me?! You are my Father, You hear
me and answer me! I am a Son of the True and Living God! My life has a purpose
and You, God himself, you're going to fulfill it in me! I have been Born Again
to a life style that nothing and nobody can take away from me! I'm healthy! I
am free! I'm thriving! I'm happy, a thousand times happy, because I have put
all my trust in You, Lord Jesus! I am a beloved daughter of the King of kings
and Lord of lords! Nothing and nobody in this world can defeat me! I'm a
believer! I believe in You, my God and Father! I believe in Your Word, the
Bible! And all things are possible for he
who believes! In the
name of Jesus! Amen!
Note of importance:
How do I become a Child of God? How do I establish my
relationship with the Almighty?
Simply say this prayer, placing all of your attention
and heart into what you’re saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God.
That you came to this world from the Virgen Mary to pay for all of my sins, and
I have been a sinner. This is why today I tell you, I accept. I accept your
sacrifice on the cross! Yes, I accept Your precious Blood, spilled to the very
last drop, out of love for me! I open my heart to you and invite you in,
because I want you, oh Lord Jesus, to be my one and only Savior, my God, my
King, my Lord. Thank you, God Almighty, for with this simple prayer and
declaration of faith I have come from death to Life, I have been displaced from
the shadows and into Your marvelous Light. Today I have been Reborn! God I am
now Your Child! You are now my Father! I will never again be alone! Never again
will I live defeated. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
