Dearly Beloved

If Only He Would Speak to Me
Dearly beloved of God, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.”
God our Father speaks to us every time we open His Word. Every scripture is straight from His lips to our ears. It is revelation knowledge given to us so that we can have trust and confidence in Him and in the good pleasure of His Will. Believing comes by hearing God's Word.
When the cares of this world overtake us, He is there ready to deliver us. He says, “Cast all your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you.”
Speak to me Father, I’m in need; what do I do? “The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” Oh, thank you Father.
He says, don’t worry My child, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” He is faithful.
“Come unto Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
“Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.” He is the same God for us as He was for them.
I feel so alone, Father; speak to me. “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.”
"I will never leave you, nor ever, ever forsake you.” Oh, thank you Father.
I am so afraid, please help me Father. “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”
“Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.” What time I am afraid I will trust in you, Father!
I feel so overwhelmed Father; hear my cry. “Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress.” Faint not dearly beloved, He hears our cries and He will deliver us!
Whether the adversary orchestrates situations that afflict us with vice-like mental pressures (tribulation), or he sets up extremely distressing situations so that we feel like we are between a rock and a hard place (distress), he cannot separate us from the love of Christ.
Whether our enemies constantly hound us (persecution), or whether we are destitute and suffer severe lack at times (famine or nakedness), or whether we are hit head-on with dangerous situations designed by the adversary to paralyze us with fear (peril), they cannot separate us.
Whether we are the victims of the cutting words of character assassination by the accuser and his minions, or whether we face death itself (sword), nothing, absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of Christ; we are God’s dearly beloved children and we are highly favored in His sight!
The adversary attempts to burden, obstruct, depress, discourage, and intimidate us; to keep us from standing our ground on the Word of God.
He wants us to think that his attacks are greater than our God’s ability and willingness to deliver us from them. The deceiver wants us to grow weary from the fight and think that God is a liar, and that He will not deliver us according to his Word. On guard! The serpent is the liar; not our Father. Do not be deceived!
In all these things . . . we are “more than conquerors” . . . “through him that loved us”. Our Father works for our good in all these things. Our Father has not forsaken us, and He never will. We are not alone.
Cry out to Him, “Abba, Father.” His ears are open to our prayers. He promises to deliver us as He delivered all those before us.
We are not free from the adversary’s attacks, but in all of them our Father is present, and He is willing to deliver us. In everything He works for our good to deliver us.
We are “more than conquerors” because our victory is not only during the fleeting period of this life – it is over death itself. We are not only “more than conquerors” today, but throughout eternity.
We are “more than conquerors”, not only in the senses realm, but also in the spiritual realm. Our Father delivered us from the power of darkness. We have the power to tread over all the power of the adversary; Almighty God our Heavenly Father is with us and for us!
The reality that “we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us” is a greater reality than any attack we may face.
Dearly beloved, we are the sons of God, enabled with the power of the spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead! Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. We are more than conquerors through him that loved us! We are no longer helpless victims.
Dearly beloved, “It is written!” Our Father has spoken, so take Him at His Word. God our Father is greater than any obstacle we may face. He is able and willing to deliver us. He will supply our every need; He said so, dearly beloved, so trust Him and be at peace. He has spoken to us.
