Thank You God For Keeping Me!
Thank You God For Keeping Me!
Through many dangerous toils and snares, seen and unseen; from many bad decisions, wrong turns, wrong thoughts, unrighteous talk, yet God still loves you and me!
We have a testimony regardless of whether or not you want to speak it, but God has kept you safe thus far! He did not have to, but Thank You God For Keeping Me!
When I was going through an identity crisis, did not realize who I am to You!
When I was lost, did not know which way to go - You Kept Me!
When I get worried, right after I just prayed because what is seen is not lining up to what You Promised me - You Kept Me!
When my imagination has ran wild and have me arrested with fear, disdain, unkindness, disappointment, and insecure - You Kept Me!
Imagination is a thought that is a prelude to an action -
How many thoughts produce unsavory actions that to this day remind you of what could have been?
Just think, if God would not have covered you from doing whatever you thought you could do!
If He would not have covered you, even though you know God, but did not glorify Him as God and was not thankful because of the futility of your own thoughts!
Thank You God For Keeping Me through all of that. . . !
I have come to realize through The Word of God that faith needs company, there are some things we must add to our faith in order to realize and remind us that “If It Had Not Been. . .” and give God Glory for Keeping You and Me!
2 Peter 1:5–9 (NKJV)5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
God has given us Hope that does not disappoint! And when you diligently seek Him, you will extend your vision through knowing His Ability and The Hope in Him will cause you to see pass the circumstance, looking into His Promises!
There is a reason why we remain in the cycle that seems to never end, it’s because we are blinded and have forgotten that God has delivered us from that and has brought us to this moment, so we have to be more diligent to keeping our focus on God’s Stronghold!
David Says in; Psalm 18:2 (NKJV) 2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
God is keeping us by holding you strong - There is no devil in hell that can pluck you out
We must not allow our flesh to convince us that these weak fleshly strongholds are keeping us; no, not so, God is all powerful, He is The Holy Ancient of Days, The First and The Last, and He has established you and me in between, so we are no longer bound by those strongholds of life, but By God’s Stronghold, which keeps us every day!
And when you come to this knowledge, and allow yourself to have Kingdom Freedom in your mind, you will know that although I may be in this right now, Through Jesus The Christ, I have access to The Father, Who Art in Heaven, so I will call upon Him, Who is Worthy to be praised!
The bond of surety that His Word has raptured me up in, gives me an assurance that He will rescue me. . .
You see, you cannot give the challenges, the circumstances of life credit, God is your support, when you call on Him, He hears your cry and will release deliverance from on High, He will come down and handle the circumstance!
So it does not matter what you are confronted with right now, God Is Your Support! Thank God For Keeping Me when all this calamity came up against me!
Paul says it best; 2 Corinthians 1:9–10 (NKJV) 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, 10 who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us; 2 Corinthians 1:21–22 (NKJV) 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.
The enemy wants to disrupt your established place, he wants to disturb you so that you will forget Who is Keeping you!
But I came today to remind us all, that by The Power of God, and His Promises, I will make it, I will rise up, I cannot stay in this place because, as David said in Psalm 18:19 “God also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me. . .”
When you delight yourself in God, He is pleased and will open up Heaven and with a Strong Hand He will bring you into a place that is so great, it is inexplicable to the natural but you and I both know, God Kept Me!
He rewarded me for my faithfulness
You have come to the place it seems to be an impossible feat to over come, but I need to remind us all; Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
28 For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. 29 For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall. 30 As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
The natural says you can’t, God says; “Yes You Can”!
For by Jesus Christ the worlds were framed, everything was made by Him! There is no beginning, nor ending seen in God, He is everlasting!
His Word keeps you, so you can run on and see what the end will be! Do not quench The Spirit on the journey, for the race is not given to the swift, nor to the strong, but the one who endures!
And you can only endure by God Keeping You! David was able to keep God’s commandments, statues, even in the most dire straits, you can to because His Word sustains you!
Because Jesus The Christ died and made you free, and because you believe with heart and have confess with your mouth that He Is Lord! You can go ahead and Thank God For Keeping you!
