I will cry to God Most High, to God who accomplishes all things for me. He will send from heaven and save me. Psalm 57:2-3.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? Romans 8:31.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Everything is in My hands. I want you to know this if you want to know, love, and trust Me to act on your behalf and obtain the outcome that you are looking for when it seems impossible to get others to do it for you. You do not need to bombard Heaven or cajole those that have the authority, you just need to turn it over to Me and rejoice.
The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes. Proverbs 21:1
You may think your success depends upon favor from others and so you fear them but it does not. I have the final Word on everything so what you want is in My power no matter what person, demon, or obstacle is in the way. Don’t just go to them, put it in My hands first.
When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7.
I wanted Daniel in a position of power in the pagan government that took him captive from Jerusalem and no matter who tried to thwart it, they could not. Even when the ruler put him in a den of hungry lions, he ended up promoting him and declaring I am God of all the earth.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Romans 8:31-34.
Nehemiah was not personally taken captive from Jerusalem; rather, he was born in exile after his family was taken captive during the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar. He grew up in the exile and I promoted him to serve as the cupbearer to the Persian King Artaxerxes I (the son of Xerxes I (Ahasuerus), who was Esther’s husband). Nehemiah heard about the desolation of Jerusalem and his heart was broken to hear of the burnt walls and gates and the ruins of the city and temple. So what did he do? He turned to Me in prayer, a simple and repentant prayer of love and confidence, and concluded saying: “O Lord (Adonai), I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Nehemiah 1:11. And when he was serving the king, he asked his request for permission and funds from the king to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and to his joy, the king agreed. My favor had moved the heart of the king to show My servant favor for My people.
And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me. Nehemiah 2:8.
Even in a prison (think of Joseph in Egypt, Peter put in jail by Herod in Jerusalem to be executed in the morning, and Paul and Silas in Philippi), an adverse workplace (think of Daniel surrounded by jealous pagan officials), a country with a government hostile to Me and My Son (think of Esther and Heman), I will cause all things to work together for good to those who love Me, to those who are called according to My purpose. Romans 8:28. I will show you favor and cause others to do the same, even against their own desires (think of the Egyptians giving their slaves all their jewels and fine garments). Ultimately there is no higher decision than Mine and no one can cancel My decision.
For exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south, but God is the Judge. Psalm 75:6-7.
People try to control My world and others—they think they can control who gets promotion, that they can stop the spread of My gospel, and that they control who gets the favors they will give, but ultimately “there is no wisdom and no understanding and no counsel against the LORD.” Proverbs 21:30.
To persecute My people is to persecute Me and I will repay and I will judge. Jesus told Paul, then Saul, that persecuting His followers was going after Him.
Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.” Acts 9:1-5.
Ultimately everything is Mine, mankind has the leasehold interest only in the earth and it is a long term lease but it is nearing its time to expire, but even now, as the owner and landlord, I have the final Word in all things. When someone is too out of line, they are evicted. The wicked cut short their own life. I can change and rearrange things for those who have invited Me into their lives through Covenant with Me through My Son. A landlord will come in and fix things when the lessee invites and authorizes Him to come in.
I will cry to God Most High, to God who accomplishes all things for me. He will send from heaven and save me. Psalm 57:2-3.
Miracles are simply My Will being done on earth. Your times are in My hands. There is no snatching out of My hand. If you put your life and your times in My hands I can fully manage what is going on in your life. I am the Most High. Unless I build the house you labor in vain to build it. But if you involve Me then every valley shall be filled and every rough way be smoothed. My Holy Spirit will guide you on level ground, every mountain removed and made low. My Spirit leads you on a good path of righteousness. I call it the HIGHway of Holiness. Isaiah 35:8-10.
You have nothing to fear or panic about if you entrust things to Me. I can rearrange and fix things as I make all things work together for good for you who love Me and are walking out My purpose in your lives, which is salvation. I am with you always and everything I have is yours and I have everything. When I show you favor, others must get in line. I set a table before you in the sight of your foes and no one can take it from you. If you go into panic and refuse to partake of My table it is not because I did not provide it. I did not give you a spirit of fear, which causes worry and anxiety as well, that is a demonic spirit and you should not be partaking of it. Don’t listen to it, answer it with the truth of My Word by faith and thus tread it down under your feet.
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 1 Corinthians 10:21.
Next time you have a problem, even a mess you made, do not be running about frantically looking for who can fix it or how you can hide it. First, be still and know that I am God, hand it over to Me and then contact the person I tell you to contact and say what I tell you to say, but first pray, and then stand up and exercise your faith. Once you have heard from Me you can be confident of the good result. Like Nehemiah.
Know who is in ultimately in charge of all and that is who you contact first, and in case you do not know who that is, it is I.
And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Matthew 14:25-27.
I love you. Have no fear. I am for you, not against you and if you will just put everything in My hands it will be all right. I have the answers you are looking for and My answer is the final one. There is no one else that can do what I can for you. And I am willing to do it. And to know Me, you have to know that.
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7.
