                       Know That I Am Faithful

Have faith in Me, for I am your God and I am faithful.  I will not lead
you astray.

I am able to do all things, and there is nothing that I will call you to
that I will not equip you for.  I will not send you out, unassisted, to
so something you are not capable of doing. My anointing will be upon you
for the task, and My Spirit will be within you, and I will enable you.

Yes, I ask My children to do "the impossible" from time to time, but
when I do,  I empower them to do whatever I ask.  Have you not read in My
word how I will empower you to do the very things that My Son did when He
walked on this earth? Take another look at some of these promises in My
word, including John 14:12-14.  See that I will not send you out in your
own strength, but you will go in Mine, and I will go with you. If you
allow Me to, I will glorify My name through your life, and I will allow
you to do things with Me that will amaze you.  I want you to know that I
am faithful so that you can begin to do these things with Me, for it is
My great desire to release My power and My glory into many aspects of
your life.

I am your provider, and I am well able to take care of you.  There will
be times when I allow you to experience difficulty, that is true. But do
not be dismayed when this happens, for I already have a plan in place to
deliver you.  I will do it in a way that brings glory to My name, and that
gives you a testimony of My faithfulness.

Look at My children Israel, when they were in bondage to Egypt.  I caused
them to be delivered from that bondage by My mighty right hand, but they
did experience discomfort in the process.  At first their situation
appeared to get worse instead of better.  They looked at their condition
with the eyes of natural understanding, and they could not see My purposes
and My hand in their difficult circumstances.  They accused Me of not
taking proper care of them.  They presumed that I was not really helping
them, even though I was in their midst and working My glory on their
behalf.  They were not exempt from their blindness even when I led them
out of Egypt--for the army of Egypt pursued them.  Death and destruction
seemed to chase at their heals. But I send My angels and I fought on their
behalf.  I protected them. I did not abandon them to their enemy.  Instead
I brought a great deliverance that brought much glory to My name.

At times I will work the way in your life today.  You may experience bad
situations and difficulties--yes, that is true.  But I already have a plan
in place to deliver you from them and to bring much glory to My name in
the process.  So look to Me with eyes that are open to My truth.  Have
faith in Me, and know that I am faithful.  I will deliver you from your
bondage today, just as I delivered Israel from Egypt.

Have you ever wonder why I allow My own to go through difficulties that
force them to put their faith and trust in Me? Have you ever wondered why
I don't just make it easy for you?  It is simple, My child, I want you to
experience My faithfulness personally.  I want you to see My mighty
deliverance in your life first-hand, so that you know deep within yourself
that I am faithful.

It causes your own faith to grow when you experience My faithfulness in
your own difficult situations. I want it to grow strong, so that I can
begin to send you to do the impossible with Me.  I desire to work
mighty wonders through you and I desire to glorify My name in your life.
I desire to do the same works through you that I did through My Son when
He walked on this earth.  I want you to know My faithfulness so that you
can step out into My glory, and see My power and My anointing operate in
you life.

You can trust Me, child of Mine, for I will not abandon you in your
difficulty. I will bring you out to the other side, and I will work My
glory in your life.  I am faithful.
