14th March 2011

The Lord is saying. Do you not believe me?. I have told you so many times that all is well and I will not let you down. When I come back, will I find faith on earth? Be one of those My child that I find faithful through your trials. I have already overcome! Be of good cheer, be of very good cheer.

 

All is well
All is well
All is very well

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

This is God's will concerning you....


Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; James 1:2

Trials show what we are believing by what we feel. Our feelings are a barometer of what we believe.


In every trial there is a choice to either....

Believe
"All is well" To thank God and, to stand on the truth that He has already won this battle.

To count it pure joy,
and to act that belief out in love,
peace faith etc. and to wait on Him who is working all things out to good for us who love Him.

.......Or to react


Throughout the bible till now all evil things have been due to man's reaction because they didn't believe in God's love and that
"All is well"


Eve had everything, yet believed that all was not quite as well as it ought to be and set out to rectify the situation. Adam and Eve came out of "ALL IS WELL"

Jesus came to bring us back into the truth...

"ALL IS WELL"

We can change our world by believing
"All is well"


God's prophets all came to tell man to come back to God who's name is Jehovah Shalom

Shalom means
among other good things
"All is well"
Wholly

 


Jesus came and let the Father's flow of "All is Well" through him to bring the visible into the invisible and manisfest itself in miracles
He stood on "All is well" when everything looked disastrous....

Jairus's daughter
Lazerus's death
Jesus walking on the water

 

Jesus said to His disciples... "Oh ye of little faith" They did not stay on "ALL is well"


We must stay on "All is well" when all about us is shaking..
We will be used to bring the invisible into the visible. All is well in the Kingdom and so we become the channel for God by our believing and looking to the unseen and not the seen.

 

Entering into the rest of God means
Entering into "All is well"


Jesus said, "Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest."


We don't have to make it happen......


Its already done! Jesus did it all on the cross

"It is finished"

"In quietness and confidence shall be your strength"

(from Isaiah 30:15)

You don't have to react to make things happen like Eve, but to act.

Sometimes we will need to speak to the mountain and tell it to be removed. Why will it have to move...? because its already moved in the Kingdom. We are bringing the Kingdom on the earth through our belief that all is well and speaking out that belief.

 

We don't have to try to make things happen but be totally obedient when God says move.

Abraham and Sarah did the necessary at the right time to bring about Isaac. However they also did the wrong thing at the wrong time to bring about Ishmael, because .
Sarah reacted and persuaded Abraham to react instead of waiting on God and they boyh ended up with a load of trouble on their hands.


We must walk on the truth ...that we already have it and be patient while the invisible is made visible

Jesus said
"It is finished"

So we can say...

"All is well"

Prayer Requests

 

Please could you continue to pray for A's son that he will stay free from drugs and from the people who encouraged him in the past to take them. Please pray for his complete salvation in Jesus.

 

Please still pray for the P family. The husband very sick. His wife's memory span is very short and there is a lot of pressure on their daughter at this time. Please pray for a miracle and God's will and mercy in this situation.

 

Please continue to pray for Jack who has cancer.

Please pray that I will be able to sell my other goods in the market without recriminations or restrictions from other stall holders, and that business will prosper.
