                     I Am Faithful


Child, you can trust Me, for I am a trustworthy God.  If you go back and
look at My interactions with each of My own through the course of history,
you will see My faithfulness manifest itself over and over again.  I
was faithful to Abraham, I was faithful to Isaac, I was faithful to Jacob,
and I will be faithful to you, if you are committed to obey Me and honor
My lordship in your life.  In short, I am faithful to anyone who is
faithful to Me. 

The enemy has come with a lie in recent days that says, "God does not
care for us today like He cared for the saints of old." That is a lie.
I have not changed -- I remain faithful.  I remain able and I will show
forth My power through the lives and ministries of My Saints.

Child, I respond to faith.  When you reach out in faith, even though you
are filled with fear and trepidation, it pleases Me greatly.  I love it
when My children dare to believe that I am faithful.  I love it when you
dare to believe that I will keep My word to you.  I love it when you dare
to believe that I will glorify My name through your life.

I do not demand perfect faith from you.  Rather, I give you room to 
grow in your faith.  You see, it is not really about you and your faith... 
it is about you coming to truly know and understand that I AM FAITHFUL.  
I love opportunities to demonstrate My faithfulness, and I will demonstrate
this to you over and over again.  It gives Me great pleasure to show you 
how trustworthy I am.  

Dare to believe, child of Mine, that I am faithful.  Dare to believe that
I am good, and that My plans for you are good and that I am well able to
fulfill My plans for your life.  Allow Me to demonstrate My goodness and
My faithfulness to you.  Look to Me, trust in Me and see what I will do
on your behalf.
