In my previous post, I was talking about how God will not mislead or disappoint us, after the election news came out, Holy Spirit reminded me of Romans 8:28, that God works all things out for our good. Even though I can’t see it, God is still working things out behind the scenes and this calls for our trust in Him.
The real test of trusting in God is whether we can rest in the midst of the raging storm. In the midst of the contrary circumstances screaming in our faces shouting: You have lost! But no, we still hold on to our stand that this is not over until God shows up and we have the final victory.
This is the fight of faith between our prayers and the manifestation. Often during a delay many believers would give up thinking that it wasn’t God’s will. Or that they accepted an outcome which was second best. Not what God had intended or told us at the beginning. This is where the segregation between the two spies and the rest becomes more stark. Whose report do you believe in?
Well, this is where God identifies His remnants. Those who will stand by His word in the face of adverse circumstances. Those who sees from His perspective. This is the line drawn in the sand. I thank God I am identified as one with the remnant. I also believe that the same group who trusted God in the appointment of Trump will be the same people who will go on to possess their mountains in the days to come. This is a training ground.
God is so good. In the past although I already knew Trump was God’s appointed vessel, I wasn’t too sure why it was so. But over the last few months as we prayed for him and US, I began to understand the reasons for supporting Trump. He is pro-Israel, pro-life and pro-family. Indeed we should judge the man according to his fruits and not his personality. Not only that in recent weeks Trump had been bold enough to acknowledge Jesus on national TV.
Do you think that God will forsake one of His own elect? Never! Besides God’s name is at stake here and He will execute justice. Indeed it is not over until Jesus shows up and win the day! Oh I am so looking forward to that day! I pray that God will come forth speedily! God sees the hearts of those who stand by His word and He will show Himself strong on their behalf.
But what do we do in the interim, after offering up our prayers for Trump and seeing the manifestation of the victory? The Lord said we can start rejoicing and celebrating. We should spend our time in praise and worship besides praying and declaring His word. That is the only way we can keep our minds focused on Jesus and not get bombarded by all the negative news. That is the way to remain in peace and rest as we wait. Or else we will get swayed by every whim and fancy.
In fact if you truly have Heaven’s perspective, you will start rejoicing and celebrating because you know it is a matter of time that God turns the tide on the enemies. Their celebration and rejoicing is short-lived. Very soon everything will become moot. They will be made a laughing stock. I believe that the media will be forced to admit they made a mistake in reporting the election results.
I was also reminded of Ezekiel 12:28, which God impressed upon me in 2011. Therefore say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God: None of My words will be postponed anymore but the word which I speak will be done, says the Lord God.’ This was in the context of Ezekiel giving a word from the Lord that had tarried. The people of Israel mocked him saying that he was a false prophet, asking where was the fulfilment of the word God had given.
Indeed Lord we pray for You to bring a speedy fulfilment of the word You gave to Your prophets! Let them not suffer shame but give them the due honour! We know that man’s unbelief will not nullify Your word for it is forever established in heaven. As it is established in heaven, so let it be done on earth!
