PASTOR’S DESK FOR FEBRUARY 2019: All Will Be Well

We bless God for the month of January in which we began to swim in the present glory and towards the Glory ahead. We shall continue to swim in glory throughout 2019 and beyond, in Jesus’ Name. 
All will be well means that:  

• God is here, ever present, and I can feel His Presence.
• No matter how hard the storm may vehemently hit my boat of life, I shall get to the other side. The knowledge that we are never alone calms the troubled sea of our lives and speaks peace to our souls.
• With faith, I will climb the bridge of grace to receive the expected end God has provided for me. At long last, I will sing a new song (Isaiah 42:9-10).
• The LORD is on my side, and like the three Hebrew boys, I will not fear, or despair of what man will do to me (Isaiah 41:10).
• I have an assurance from the Master (Isaiah 3:10). God said it, I believe it, and that settles it. My nerves can be calm because “all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28.
• I am confessing that God’s Word will not return to Him void but will accomplish the purpose for which it was sent (Isaiah 55:11).
• While things seem good now, they will get even better as the LORD lifts you higher from “glory to glory” by His Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18). Shame and failures will soon be forgotten; there will be no more dejected bowing of the head (Joel 2:26). 
• God’s exchange program still works - ”To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified” Isaiah 61:3.

PRAYERS:

• Father, I thank You because You are my Shepherd and I shall not want or lack any good thing in my life.
• I repent of having tried to work things out myself by the arm of flesh. I ask for Your forgiveness and mercy, in Jesus’ Name.
• Like Solomon, I shall enjoy rest; my life shall not be characterized by endless battles, in Jesus’ Name.

Right now, I command my glory to be awakened, and to shine for all to see, in Jesus’ Name.
