God Has Promised, I Must Remain!

It Will Work Out In My Favor!

2 Corinthians 1:20 “20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.”

The “I Am” effect is powerful when used - the problem is that our flesh has convinced us to believe that because it doesn’t happen instantly, we must not have The Power, thus we enter into a dimension of confusion, disappointment, frustration, dejection, hopelessness, and forget what God has said!

Whatever follows “I Am” will go into effect. . .

Be mindful of your “I Am” statements. . . Psalm 19:14 “14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”

Paul says that God’s Glory will be through us. . . Yes you! I know it seems as if it is one thing after another, but remind yourself Who will get the glory out of this! 2 Corinthians 1B

All God wants is you to acknowledged Him and He will give you the instructions to remain. . .

Joel 3:10 “10 Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ””

Psalm 107:1–2 “1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,”

Galatians 6:9 “9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”

Write this down, you will have what you say! Numbers 20:8 “8 “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.””

God says to Moses, you speak to the rock, and you will reap what you speak. . .

Proverbs 4:23 “23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.”

When you remain in The True Vine, you will only say what you have heard Him Say, concerning you:

I am a branch that bears fruit, because I know that He will never leave me, and because I am in Him, when I am down, He lifts me up!

This is what John 15:2 “2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.”

He will not cast you away because you are in Him and there is no condemnation to those who are in Him - Therefore, re-read this as “He

The reason we tend to believe that it won’t work in our favor, is due to you leaving your position in Him, and allowing the enemy to get a foot-hole into your thinking, tempting you to believe that He won’t do it for you! Jeremiah 2:21 “21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine, a seed of highest quality. How then have you turned before Me Into the degenerate plant of an alien vine?”

God is asking a question, “How then have you turned before Me, into something I did not create you to become?”

What has come along and moved your thinking away from Our Relationship!

I have given you more evidence of My Promises and Favor towards you, than what you believe, what has caused you to believe now that It Will Not Work In Your Favor?

Did you not create a memorial in that place where I delivered you from? Let The Holy Spirit remind you of that place - this is how you remain in Me!

That place in your mind where you are sure that I will work it out because you have seen Me do countless times before!

Remain there and from there, you will grow in faith because that place is a reminder of how I brought you over that!

That is a place of ASSURANCE - leading you to being steadfast in knowing that I AM did it!

And we find that because we are faced with so much adversity, God must not care about me; why am I always so uncomfortable, or not gaining ground, or always having to struggle, but it is not about being comfortable, nor convenience - It is about remaining in Him always, connected to The True Source of your Faith - Strength and Power!

The crux of the problem with Corinth is symbolic to James 4:1 “1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?”

They were quarreling amongst one another, creating divisions, less propagating the Kingdom. The reason why we have difficulty believing further, is because we allow our flesh to rise up, when we have knowledge of God’s Grace and Mercy!

And the enemy desires to beat you with your actions, causing you to think that Grace was not given to you!

But Thanks Be To God Who sent Grace, so that you and I will know that when we fall, we can get right back up!

You may feel as if your life is not redeemable, but God sent His Only Begotten Son to die and finish the work, and because you are in Him, He will lift you up!

No matter where you go, God’s Record is there! It will work out in your favor!

Many seek wisdom from their flesh, which confuses you, or causes a smoke screen, which is why many cannot see further than they are right now!

But your flesh cannot give you this wisdom, only your faith in His Word! 2 Corinthians 1:12 “12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.”

By His Grace - I Am That I Am!

You may not like it, but I Am That!

Y’all - Look around - We have too many witnesses to believe less than - If I did not give up and are still going, you have no right to give in or up! This is what Paul is eluding to in 2 Corinthians 1:14 “14 (as also you have understood us in part), that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.”

And because I have seen you remain, I must remain and continue on, knowing that It Will Work Out In My Favor!

How Do I Remain?

John 15:1–10 “1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. 9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in…”

Remain Stay, Continue, Endure, Leave Behind, Be Silent, Be Quiet, Stand and Reside!

It’s not about being comfortable, nor convenient, but about being a place of assurance, knowing that I have peace, regardless. I have been established for this! 2 Corinthians 1:21–22 “21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.”

One day is with the Lord as a thousand years—That is: All time is as nothing before him, because in the presence as in the nature of God all is eternity; therefore nothing is long, nothing short, before him; no lapse of ages impairs his purposes, nor need he wait to find convenience to execute those purposes. And when the longest period of time has passed by, it is but as a moment or indivisible point in comparison of eternity. Adam Clarke's Commentary.

2 Peter 3:8–9“8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
