Your God Reigns!
by David Cerullo
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings
good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who
proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns!’” – Isaiah 52:7
I wish I could
paint a pretty picture about life in the End Times, but the Bible says we will
face “perilous times” (2 Timothy 3:1) and intense
spiritual warfare.
So, if you feel
like you’ve been in a battle lately, it’s not your imagination!
A vast satanic
conspiracy is underway to “wear down the saints of the Highest One” (Daniel 7:25).
It’s significant that when our faithful and true Lord returns,
He will come as a mighty warrior, dressed for battle: “I saw heaven
opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful
and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war… And He has on His
robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS”
(Revelation 19:11-16).
Notice the good
news here: As followers of Christ, the Bible promises that we’re on the winning
side.
At the end of the age, Jesus will return and take His rightful
place as the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords,” and we will
reign with Him over all creation (Revelation 22:5).
Finding Victory Today
“But David,” you may be thinking, “I KNOW Jesus will reign when
He returns, but what am I supposed to do in the meantime? How can I find
victory in my life today?”
That’s a very
important question, and the answer is found in the verse I quoted above.
The same passage that says Jesus will be the “KING OF
KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” also reminds us of a powerful theme found
throughout the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation…
Our Lord is
FAITHFUL and TRUE!
At a time when
the whole world is experiencing prophetic shockwaves (Hebrews
12:25-28), no other attributes are more important than these.
As the very
foundations of the world’s economic and social institutions are shaken, people
are discovering they’ve put their trust in many things that are UNfaithful and UNtrue.
Who can
honestly claim that Wall Street is faithful and true… or the housing market… or
the government?
That’s why the Scriptures tell us, “It is better to
trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man” (Psalm 118:8).
Sometimes even our loved ones may let us down. But David
learned, “Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold
me close” (Psalm 27:10).
Though everything around us may seem unreliable, our faith can
be rooted in an unshakable kingdom and an unchanging Person who tells us: “I
will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).
Everything else may change, but He’s “the same
yesterday, today, and forever “! (verse 8)
Great Is His Faithfulness
I hear from
many of our Inspiration Partners who are experiencing great challenges in their
finances, health, or relationships these days.
One Partner
named Velecia wrote to us in frustration and anger when her husband died,
leaving her at age 50 as a widow and deeply in debt.
But now the
Lord has given her a great job and erased her debt, causing her to testify…
“God is
faithful and is working things out!”
I know what
it’s like to feel like the prophet Jeremiah when he said, “My strength
and my hope have perished from the LORD” (Lamentations
3:18).
Yet in the
midst of his trials, Jeremiah experienced God’s faithfulness more deeply than
ever before:
This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.
Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:21-23).
Therefore I have hope.
Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:21-23).
My friend, I
won’t pretend life is always easy. But no matter what difficult circumstances
you’re facing today, God wants to show you His faithful love and provision,
just as the wonderful old hymn proclaims:
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Opening Heaven’s Bounty
I am not only
are praying God will show Himself “Faithful and True” to
relieve you of your fears and cares amid life’s battles — I’m also believing
Him to bring you a breakthrough of abundance and prosperity.
John saw “heaven
opened” as Jesus was about to return, and we’re convinced God wants to
open the floodgates of Heaven’s blessings for YOU today!
As you are
faithful to Him with your time, talent, and treasure, He promises to “open
for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there
will not be room enough to receive it” (Malachi 3:10).
Not only that, but He also “will rebuke the devourer for
your sakes” (verse 11) — reversing every negative situation the enemy
has brought to your life.
Are you ready
for a new day of blessing? The One who is “Faithful and True” loves
you and is ready to bless you like never before — enabling you to BE an even
greater blessing to others (Genesis 12:2).
