God Never Fails

"And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by. For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day."
(Habakkuk 2:2-3 AMP)

Has God given you a vision, a plan, a magnificent obsession?  Wait for it!

Worship God

"And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros—a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra—a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it]."
(Matthew 16:18 AMP)

"Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

(Matthew 14:31 NLT)

The Precious Promises of Jesus

"All you who are thirsty,
come to the water!
You who have no money,
come, buy grain and eat;
Come, buy grain without money, wine and milk without cost!
Why spend your money for what is not bread;
your wages for what does not satisfy?
Only listen to me, and you shall eat well, you shall delight in rich fare." (Isaiah 55: 1-2)

" And they all ate and were satisfied. "  (Matthew 14: 20)

The One Thing Necessary

All things work together

Everything is as it should be.
No fear. No worry. No doubt.

Romans 8:28
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

The Holy Spirit is the Source of Power

Restore our fortunes

Psalm 126: 1-2

"When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”

Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.

With Jesus is the fountain of life

Jeremiah 2:12-13

"Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the Lord, for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me,
the fountain of living waters,
and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water."

Beware of the temptations to wealth and comfort.

Chosen and appointed before birth

Jeremiah 1:5-6

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Then Jeremiah said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”

Say not: I am too young or I am too old.  Or too poor or too rich. Or too sick or too healthy. Mission comes with power.

John 20:15
