When Will You Get Out of That Hole?
There’s No Way You Can Lose!
By Riqui Ricón *
…for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd
them and lead them to springs of living water;
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. (Revelation 7:17, KJV)
But You, O LORD, shall endure
forever; and Your remembrance unto all generations. You shall arise,
and have mercy on Zion: for the time
to favor her, yea, the set time, is come. (Psalm 102:12–13, KJV)
Every appointed time has an end, and your appointed time was fulfilled when
Jesus spoke His last words
from the cross: “It is finished.” It’s done!
Every promise recorded
in the Bible — God’s truthful
Word — was fulfilled
for you through the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus.
What does that mean? That the
Lamb of God, who takes
away the sin of the world, is now your Shepherd, and
today, at this very moment, He is guiding you
to wells of living water —
a spring inside
you that flows so you can live a
full and abundant life: eternal life!
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. (John
3:16–17, KJV)
God loves you so much that He preferred
to give His own Son rather than lose
you!
He did it so that you would believe in Him, in His name, and trust Him. God gave His own Son out of love for you so that when He says in His Word
that, even if you walk through
the valley of the shadow of death you will not fear
because He is with you — then that is truth: He is with you!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me. (Psalm 23:4,
KJV)
God has not left you, and He will never
leave you!
Therefore,
you can stand firm in any circumstance and declare with full
confidence: If God is for me, who can be against me?
What then shall we say to these things? If God be for us,
who can be against us? 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? (Romans 8:31–32, KJV)
God’s time of mercy is not when you see the answer to the prayers
you lift up; God’s time of mercy is when you fully believe His Word
— when you are totally sure and completely convinced
that if God said it, He will do it; if He spoke it, He will carry it out.
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? (Numbers 23:19, NIV)
God is wiping and cleansing every tear from your eyes so you can see clearly
that the night is over and the best of your life is ahead.
I the LORD will keep
it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. (Isaiah 27:3, KJV)
So do not give place to fear and doubt;
instead be strengthened in the Lord and in the power of His might,
which is His Word — for your God and Father has a Word of Honor.
And we know that all things work together
for good to them that love God, to
them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28, KJV)
Do you love God? Then you must know and believe that you are a Born-Again Son or Daughter of God, called
by Him according to His purpose — and absolutely everything that happens in
your life will work together for your good.
God has committed
by His Word of Honor that He will turn those problems, afflictions, and illnesses into
good for you.
Ye
are of God, little children, and have overcome
them: because greater
is he that is in you, than he
that is in the world. (1 John 4:4, NIV)
Whatever
affliction you face today
— do not fear! Just believe!
God has not left you and He will never leave you. The appointed time
has come to fulfillment. God is your Father and He is with you. There is no way
you can lose!
Let us pray aloud:
Beloved Heavenly Father, I
thank You infinitely for loving me so much and giving meaning to my life
through the Blood of Your Son Jesus Christ and His resurrection. I believe the
Bible is Your Word, and therefore I can trust it completely. I will answer my
accuser with confidence because I trusted Your Word and I will never be put to
shame for having believed You. Thank You, Jesus, because it is time for me to
rise and begin to live the full and abundant life You purchased for me. Yes
Lord, I am already drinking from that spring of life which is Your Word, where
You declare that all things work together for my good! You, Jesus, are my Shepherd and I shall lack nothing.
You make me lie down in green pastures; you lead me beside the still waters.
You restore my soul: you lead me in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s
sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no
evil: for you are with me; Your rod and your staff comfort me. In the middle of
this problem, need, or illness I am calm and confident in Your Word, for You
prepare a table before me in the presence
of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup
runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Thank You, Jesus. There is
no way I can lose! Therefore I believe and declare that I am the Son/Daughter You, my God and Father, have always
desired — righteous, holy, and blameless. I know it because it is written in
Your Word and that is the Truth. I am willing to leave behind negative emotions
and thoughts of failure and defeat. That old nature has no place in me, for I
have been regenerated in Christ Jesus to live a full and victorious life. I
know it because the Bible says so; I
believe it because it is Your Word of Honor; and with Your help, Holy Spirit, I
will live it out. I will live a prosperous life in health, love, peace, and joy
that You, O God, desire for me. I, (your
name here), am a Born-
Again Son/Daughter of God. I can do all things
through Christ who strengthens
me, for greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world — and that is
You, Precious Spirit of God. I will not give
the devil and his lies any place in my life. I will not fear any longer! I
cast out every anxiety and worry. In all things I am more than a
conqueror through Him who loved me, Christ Jesus! I have already been healed by
the wounds of Jesus! I have been established to reign in this life by the blood
of Jesus! There is no way I can lose, for You, my God and Father, are in me and
with me; and if God is for me, who can be against me? I am healthy! I am free!
I am prosperous! I am joyful! In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Important Note:
How do I become a child of God? How can I establish a relationship with the
Almighty?
Just say the following prayer out loud,
putting all your attention and heart into what you are saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God. That You came
into this world, born of the virgin Mary, to pay for all my sins, and I have
been a sinner. That is why today I say to You: I do accept. I do accept Your
sacrifice on the cross! I do accept Your precious blood,
shed to the last drop out of love for me!
I open my heart and invite You to come in, because I want You, Lord Jesus, from this day forward
and forever, to be
my only and sufficient Savior,
my God, my King, and my Lord.
Thank You, Almighty God, because with this simple prayer and profession of
faith I have passed from death to Life; I have been transferred from darkness
into Your marvelous Light. Today I am Born Again!
God, now I am Your child! Now You are my
Father! I will never be alone
again! I will never live defeated
again. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Three Recommendations:
What
just happened by you recognizing Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of your life, according to God's Word, is that you have been Born Again. No longer
as an ordinary human being, subject to the law of sin and death, but now as a
legitimate and authentic Child of God, Born Again, exactly like Jesus Christ,
who is now your Older
Brother. Therefore, I give you these three, very
important, recommendations:
1.
Pray. Praying is talking with God. So, find a quiet
place where you can begin talking to Him about everything. Do it out loud, and you will notice
how God always responds to your heart.
2.
Read and meditate
on the Word of God. The Bible is the Word of God, so get a Bible
and start reading
and meditating on it. How do you begin? It’s very simple. Depending on the day,
look up the reading program “The Bible in
One Year” and do the corresponding readings. You can get this program at: Through The Bible In One Year
(palabradehonor.org). You will notice that the program is set up so you can
print it as a booklet.
3.
In prayer with God, your Father, look for and join a
Christian church or congregation where the Word of God is taught based on the Good News, which are the Gospel of Jesus
Christ.

Reading and Meditation on the Word of God
Revelation 7 / Nehemiah
9:38–10:39 / Psalm
102
Revelation
7 And after
these things I saw four angels
standing on the four corners
of the earth, holding the
four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the
sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another
angel ascending from the east,
having the seal of the living
God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels,
to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither
the sea, nor the trees,
till we have sealed
the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed:
and there were sealed
an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe
of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
of Reuben were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed
twelve thousand. Of the tribe
of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of
the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve
thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 After this I beheld,
and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number,
of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the
throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their
hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice,
saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And
all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before
the throne on their faces,
and worshipped God,
12 Saying,
Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered,
saying unto me, What are these which
are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And
I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest.
And he said to me, These are they
which came out of great tribulation, and have washed
their robes, and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before
the throne of God, and serve him day and night
in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither
thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of
waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

28 And the rest of the people,
the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers,
the Nethinims, and all they that had separated
themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their
wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having
understanding;
29 They clave
to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse,
and into an oath, to walk in
God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do
all the commandments of the LORD our
Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
30 And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons:
31 And if the people of the land bring ware
or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of
them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh
year, and the exaction of every debt.
32 Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves
yearly with the third
part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
33 For
the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts,
and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for
Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
34 And we cast the
lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to
bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the
LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
35 And to bring the firstfruits of our ground,
and the firstfruits of all fruit of all
trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:
36 Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle,
as it is written in the
law, and the firstlings of
our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that
minister in the house of our God:
37 And that we should
bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto
the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our
ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the
cities of our tillage.
38 And the priest
the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites
shall bring up the tithe
of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into
the treasure house.
39 For
the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the
corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests
that minister, and the porters,
and the singers: and we will
not forsake the house of our God.
9.38 And because
of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal
unto it.

28 And the rest of the people,
the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers,
the Nethinims, and all they that had separated
themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their
wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having
understanding;
29 They clave
to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse,
and into an oath, to walk in
God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do
all the commandments of the LORD our
Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
30 And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons:
31 And if the people of the land bring ware
or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of
them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh
year, and the exaction of every debt.
32 Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves
yearly with the third
part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
33 For
the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts,
and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for
Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
34 And we cast the
lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to
bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the
LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
35 And to bring the firstfruits of our ground,
and the firstfruits of all fruit of all
trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:
36 Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle,
as it is written in the
law, and the firstlings of
our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that
minister in the house of our God:
37 And that we should
bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto
the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our
ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the
cities of our tillage.
38 And the priest
the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites
shall bring up the tithe
of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into
the treasure house.
39 For
the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the
corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests
that minister, and the porters,
and the singers: and we will
not forsake the house of our God.
Psalm
102 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
2 Hide not thy face from me in
the day when I am in trouble;
incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call
answer me speedily.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones
are burned as an
hearth.
4 My heart
is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning
my bones cleave to my skin.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an
owl of the desert.
7 I watch,
and am as a sparrow
alone upon the house top.
8 Mine enemies
reproach me all the day; and they that are mad
against me are sworn against
me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath:
for thou hast lifted me up,
and cast me down.
11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12 But thou,
O LORD, shall endure for ever;
and thy remembrance unto all generations.
13 Thou shalt
arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to
favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones,
and favour the dust thereof.
15 So
the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings
of the earth thy glory.
16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise
their prayer.
18 This shall be written
for the generation to come: and the people which shall
be created shall praise the LORD.
19 For he hath
looked down from the height
of his sanctuary; from heaven did
the LORD behold the earth;
20 To hear the groaning
of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21 To declare
the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 He weakened
my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
24 I said,
O my God, take me not away in the
midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth:
and the heavens
are the work of thy hands.
26 They shall
perish, but thou shalt endure:
yea, all of them shall
wax old like a
garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28 The children
of thy servants shall continue,
and their seed shall be established before thee.
102 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
2 Hide not thy face from me in
the day when I am in trouble;
incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call
answer me speedily.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones
are burned as an
hearth.
4 My heart
is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning
my bones cleave to my skin.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an
owl of the desert.
7 I watch,
and am as a sparrow
alone upon the house top.
8 Mine enemies
reproach me all the day; and they that are mad
against me are sworn against
me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath:
for thou hast lifted me up,
and cast me down.
11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
12 But thou,
O LORD, shall endure for ever;
and thy remembrance unto all generations.
13 Thou shalt
arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to
favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones,
and favour the dust thereof.
15 So
the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings
of the earth thy glory.
16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise
their prayer.
18 This shall be written
for the generation to come: and the people which shall
be created shall praise the LORD.
19 For he hath
looked down from the height
of his sanctuary; from heaven did

my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

O my God, take me not away in the
midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth:
and the heavens

26 They shall

yea, all of them shall

27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
28 The children
of thy servants shall continue,
and their seed shall be established before thee.
