I WIll Never Leave You or Forsake You - You Can Take That to the Bank!




God’s Power Principle For Today:  “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not comprehend it.”  “Then Jesus again spoke to them saying, “I am the Light of the world, he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”  (John 1:5; 8:12).
We have a wonderful DVD series titled Against All Odds Israel Survives; the series focuses on the many miracles God has given to the people of Israel. since their renewing their statehood in 1948.  When I hear, or read, all of the gory details of what is happening in the Middle East today and the predictions that ISIS has Israel as their final target, I get out the series and watch. It renews my confidence once again, that My God will not let it happen to the “Apple of His eye”.
On one of our trips to Israel, we visited Masada, which is a mountain where King Herod build one of his summer homes.  We were blessed to be able to watch a ceremony- that every pilot in the Israeli military goes through; at Masada, Pilots are given a challenge by their commanding office: “The greatest gift you have to offer is the willingness to lay down your lives for their brothers and sisters.  
The ninety-first Psalm is the creed of the Israeli Air Force and hearing the fifty cadets shout the words: “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty”.  I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God in whom I trust, for it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence” did send goose bumplies down my spine. 
Do you have a creed that is your covenant with Your Heavenly Father this morning?  Do you have a special section of Scripture that you know in your heart will provide you with the strength and courage to stand fast- no matter what your circumstances?  While volunteering at Voice of Martyrs we were privileged to hear many stories of people around the world who face persecution and death daily. Their  creed/prayer is not to be taken out of the situation or survival, but witnessing to their enemies!
Can there be any doubt we are in the winding down stages of the End of the Gentile age?   Jesus said we are to be a ‘light unto this dark world.”  As you prepare to face another day, do you have your armor spit polished, in place and ready, and your lamp filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit to be used by Abba Father to be a witness of His great love?
Blessings,
