May the Steadfast Love of the LORD Never Depart from You

My prayer for you today is in the words of Isaiah 54:10,

“For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you."

I pray that the steadfast unchanging love of God will not depart from you and your family. No matter what you may go through, His love for you is not removed by trials or tribulations; His love is from everlasting to everlasting. He does not forsake or abandon His own, God will never forsake or abandon you. These are not my own words in Isaiah 54, these are God's own words, spoken through the prophet Isaiah to His children.  You are His child and He is speaking His Words to you to encourage you. You mean a lot to Him believe it or not.  I am making a statement of fact. 

I pray today, if you feel forsaken or abandoned by man that you will know God cares about you and has compassion on you. May the LORD perfect everything that concerns you. May He remember you and not forget you the work of His hands. May His covenant of peace never be removed from you and your household and may you know and experience His peace in all aspects of your life. God’s love for you is steadfast, fixed, unchanging, firmly loyal and constant.

I pray that you will be established in righteousness. May oppression be far from you in your home, in your marriage, in your job or in any other situation, may it be far from you in Jesus Name. Be not afraid; only believe that all things are possible for them who believe and put their trust in God. I encourage you to put your trust in God.  Whatever is bringing fear into your life is subject to the Word of God; for fear is not from God. The Word of God can change any situation. I encourage you to have faith, for God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. I break the power and the grip of fear over your life and I pronounce and prophesy peace into your life now in Jesus Name.

Fear is an evil spirit, it has no place in your life. You must reject fear and speak peace into your life.

2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

If you are feeling afraid, pray this prayer and confess it out loud:

“God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind, I reject you fear and cast you out of my life now in Jesus Name.”

(Repeat 3 times)

Pray this prayer with power and authority any time you are feeling afraid and repeat it as many times as possible until you are no longer feeling afraid. There is power in confessing the Word of God. The Word of God can change anything.

May you be established in righteousness; may oppression be far from you; you shall not fear; and from terror, it shall not come near you or your family in Jesus Name.

Finally, I pray according to Phillipians 4:7, that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)

He who is for you cannot be against you. Remember, you are not forgotten.  God bless you today and everyday.

You are the Apple of My Eye, The Treasure in My Heart

Whilst I was in prayer, the Lord spoke to me about you, the one reading this blog right now.  The Lord spoke to me and asked me to let you know you are precious. He says He really appreciates and loves you for who you are. You are not worthless; you are the apple of His eye and the work of His hands. God is saying to you, “You are the apple of my eye, the treasure in my heart.”
The Bible states, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:20-22) In the sight of God you are His treasure, and where His treasure is, there His heart is also. His heart is with you, yes, with you His treasure.

God wants you to know you are deep in the core of his heart and he is watching over you daily. His thoughts are with you. They are thoughts of good and not of evil.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” (Jeremiah 29:11, 12)

You may not know or understand it, but He wants me to reassure you that He is watching over you daily. You are the work of His hands, His own treasure. If you can put your trust in Him, you will see a transformation in your life. His hands are wide open towards you right now, He is waiting to embrace you, wanting to heal and set you free. If you are feeling alone, abandoned like there is no one to help, the Bible states that God is our helper, He is the glory and the lifter of your head.

“And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him. (Psalm 37:40)

Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. (Psalm 37:5)

In times of weakness, He is our strength, in times of lack, He is our Provider, in times of war, trials and tribulations, He is our peace. The Bible says, if my mother and my father forsake me, the Lord will bring me out and take care of me. God is ready to take care of you because you are His treasure.

“When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me.” (Psalm 27:10)

Do you feel forsaken and betrayed by others? Are you feeling low in yourself and don’t know where to turn? Thus says the Lord to you today,

“Dear child, I love you with an everlasting love. You are the apple of my eye and the treasure in my heart. I created you for a purpose; I predestined you and justified you. Don’t beat yourself up. I know you are not perfect. I am not looking for perfect people, I am looking for helpless people, hurt and broken people, disappointed and abandoned people, a people with no hope. These are the people at the core of My heart. I sent my Son, Jesus, to die for this reason, not to come for the righteous, but for the unrighteous. So dear child, you don’t have to be perfect to come to me. Just come as you are and I will help you, run to me and I will embrace you, I will heal you, I will deliver you from all your afflictions and will restore you. I am the Bread of life; whoever comes to me will hunger no more. I am the river of living waters, come to me and you will thirst no more.

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” (John 6:34-36)

I want you to bear fruit like the apple tree, this is why I want to nurture you, water you and restore you. I am always here for you. Have I not said in my Word that I will never leave nor forsake you? Put your trust in me and I will not let you down. You are the treasure in my heart and I love you dearly.”

“For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

My prayer for you today is that you will learn to put your trust wholly on God. He never disappoints His own. I can assure you, I have been through a lot of pain in my life, I have had many occasions where I did not know where the answer to my problems would come from, but as I cried out to the Lord and asked for His help, He answered me time and time again. I have so grown in Him now that I never doubt His ability anymore. I never doubt that He will let me down, I never doubt whether He would be able to provide for my needs. Now, I can assuredly say that I know Him, I know now that He is not a man that He should lie or the son of man that He should repent. He has never betrayed me or let me down. This is because I have learnt to lean on Him and put my trust in Him no matter what I may go through.

“The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.” (Psalm 34:10)

Troubles still come to me daily and challenges will always be there, but I certainly know now that He is my anchor and I can rest in Him. He is the One that helps me to overcome daily.

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

He has taught me to take one day at a time and not worry about what I am going to eat or what I am going to wear for He already knows that I have need of these things. He always makes provision for me and makes a way for me where there seems to be no way. I pray that you will come to the saving knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and understand that you are His own and He will always be there for you, knowing this, that you are the apple of His eye and the treasure in His heart. I pray that His mercy will surround you and that you will put your trust in Him now and evermore.

"Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10)

Know you not, that you are the apple of God’s eye and the treasure in His heart? Well, if you didn’t know, this is what you are in His eyes. He loves you so much! Take a new leaf today and start trusting in Him. May you bear much fruit in your life and may the countenance of His glorious Light shine upon you and give you peace in these troubled times. I shall continue to remember all of you my blog readers in my prayers.  God bless you abundantly and thank you for taking the time to read this blog.
