If you have done all you can!

 

Isaiah 50: ⁷ For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Have you ever waited, trusted, prayed, fasted, 'faithed' and believed God for something that seemed like it will never come. Have you or are you still doing all to stand in faith waiting for a blessing or miracle. This message is for you:

What do you do when you have done everything you think you should do and yet your set time doesn’t seem to have come? The answer is here in Ephesians 6 and Isaiah 50

^{Ephesians 6
10} Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Lets X-ray verse 14 – 19, they tell us what we are to do. After doing everything to stand, we must stand firm. Holding on to:

- Truth: Jesus is the truth, God’s word is truth

^1John2:20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.^[e] 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. ²² Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. ²³ No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.²⁴ As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. ²⁵ And this is what he promised us—eternal life.

- Your right standing with God (through Christ): You are made righteous by the blood of Jesus. John says: If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

^{1 John 1:7} But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all^[b] sin.

1 John 2: 2 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. ² He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

- The Gospel of Peace and be ready for your blessing

- Don't loose faith. The devil will try to tell you so many lies to make you loose hope. He is a liar. Always have a scripture to use to resist the devils fiery darts.
Faith extinguishes all arrows. Faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God.

¹⁹ This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence:²⁰ If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.²¹ Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God ²² and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. ²³ And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. ²⁴ The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

- Be aware of your salvation and protect your mind. Don’t let the devil convince you that God has abandoned you.

1 John :3 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. ² Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,^[a] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. ³ All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

Finally : Ephesians 6:18  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

This is a Word Specially For you. God cannot sell you out. He is able: He is Mighty! Read this scripture designed for the weary soul. Stand and see the deliverance of God

Isaiah 50:1 Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? [God has no creditors and he will never sell you out.] Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

² Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

³ I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. [He is able and powerful enough to deliver you]

⁴ The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

⁵ The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

⁶ I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

⁷ For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. [Trust God completely and speak positive, you shall not be disgraced or ashamed]

⁸ He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

⁹ Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. [Remember God has made you righteous by the blood of Jesus]

¹⁰ Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God.

¹¹ Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. [Vengeance is the Lord’s, wait on him]

PRAYER FOR TODAY:

For you oh Lord God will help me, therefore I will not be confounded: Lord I set my face like a rock, looking upon you, I know that I will not be ashamed. My God who justifies me in near; who will contend with me? God is for me, who can be against me? Noone. Let him come near to me. They will flee in many ways. Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? Noone! They will all wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. Holy spirit please help me to walk in the fear the Lord, and obey your voice. Even though I walk through a way that seems dark and there is no light and all seems confusing, I WILL TRUST IN YOU LORD! I TRUST YOU LORD. I will lean on you lord God, I shall not be shaken and my feet shall not be removed from where you have planted me.

Behold, all ye that kindle a fire against me, that compass yourselves about trying to consume me. Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks that you have kindled. The word of God says this; you shall lie down in sorrow.

 After you done all you can...just STAND...Keep standing...God is taking you to an expected end.
