GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU

Phi 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in

you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Have you ever felt forgotten by God? I know I've felt that way. Does God seem to beblessing everyone except you? Do your expectations of God seem to meet with coldindifference from Him? Do you find yourself asking "What is God doing?" and "What'sgoing on here?" If your answer is "yes," then rejoice, because you are at the edge of amiracle! You are on the verge of a breakthrough! Don't give up now your door is about toswing open!

Any woman knows the most difficult time of any birth is the few moments right before youdeliver your baby into the world. Youre tired and exhausted beyond what you can endure.The last thing you want to hear again is PUSH! You cant take it anymore! You havepushed and pushed and have exhausted all your strength! You dont have another push inof you! You want to scream, and you do: "I can't do this . . . I can't!" BUT you must! Youknow you cant keep that child inside of you! It is at this moment that you must push thehardest and exert yourself the most. You are crying, "I can't," and everyone around you isyelling, "PUSH!" Easy for them to say, they are not the one lying there going through allthat pain! Yet, you know they are right, you have to PUSH!

Then, somewhere deep inside you, the strength arises! You now have determination wherehopelessness used to dwell. Now you cry from the depths of your heart, "I can," and "Iwill!" You push! Youre at that same place now - on the verge of a breakthrough. Perhapsyou are tired of believing, tired of hearing another prophecy, but you can't give up now.That's what the enemy wants you to do. Only you can break through to your miracle!Only you can give birth to your dream! Only you can fight through to your dream'sfulfillment, no one else. God will give you His strength when you have none of your own.

When you fall short, He will pick you up because, "He gives strength to the weary andincreases the power of the weak" (Isaiah 40:29).

YOU ARE A HIDDEN MIRACLE

I have felt this way and I know some of you have too. I have felt like God had forgottenme. I wondered if the promise would ever be fulfilled - if God would ever open the door. I

had been teetering on the edge of a breakthrough for so long that I allowed doubt to creepin. I began to say, "Would it ever really happen?" "Maybe God has changed His mind?"Maybe what I dreamed wasnt from the Lord. I was tired of waiting, of praying, ofhoping in faith! I felt like a butterfly in a cocoon, hidden and forgotten. Have you beenthere?

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who havebeen called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).He has you hidden for a purpose; you areHis secret Weapon! Dont give up now!

PAIN GIVES BIRTH TO LIFE

God will sometimes take us through painful,ugly" situations only to turn us into somethingbeautiful. Something that will glorify His Name.Look at the painful death of our Saviour. Had Henot gone through, had He not endured, wherewould we be? How could His Father have been

glorified? How could we have ever known how much the Father loves us?

The situation that you are in right now is the "death" that will give birth to your dream.The pain that youre enduring could be the launching pad for your future. Dont allow theenemy to cause you to give up on your dreams. If you feel as though you are invisible,rejoice, because you are. God has hidden you away to change you in secret, but soon He will pull you out like asecret weapon and show you off to the world.

THIS COULD BE THE DAY

Each day that you wake up, and give God the glory, and wait on His timing for yourdestiny's fulfillment is one day closer to its birth. You dont want to quit now. As youcome closer to your time of delivery, you begin to feel in your spirit that the time is near.Perhaps today will be the day! You begin to look around you and see your brothers andsisters receive the promises of God in their lives - you are happy for them. You say toyourself Lord when is it going to be my turn? When will my destiny come forth like Godpromised it would? Each day we must prepare our hearts to believe that, "this could bethe day He fulfills His promises to me". Each day we must EXPECT A MIRACLE. Each

day we must be ready to receive, and then suddenly He does.

The longer you worship and praise the Lord, the deeper you will trust Him to bring Hispromises to pass in your life. As you come closer to the time of receiving the fulfillment ofHis call on your life, you can know that each day will bring you one day closer. Today, yesthis day could be the day you receive a great blessing from God. Today could hold theanswer you have been waiting for.

Wait in faith through each day expecting to receive your promise as a woman waiting togive birth. God does not bring you to the time of birth just to stop the whole process. Inother words, He didnt bring you this far to leave you now. He has not forgotten you. Hewill not forget you! It will happen! You must always remember, He who began a good workin you will be faithful to complete it" (Philippians 1:6).

"God is not a man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind.Does he speak and then not act?" (Numbers 23:19).

If He's promised it, He will do it!

Say this with me: God always keeps His promises. God will do what He has promised. Hehas not forgotten me, for I am constantly in His thoughts. I must not give up on God, forHe is waiting to fulfill His Word through me. I know it will happen! This could be the day!God cannot lie; He will not change His mind. I choose to believe what God has spoken and

not the lies of fear and doubt.

"I want you to Pray. Pray without ceasing. Do not give me up; I havent given up on you.Dont grow weary; dont lose sight of the promises I have spoken to you. They will come topass. Remember they are YES and AMEN in Christ Jesus. Keep your eyes on Me. Do notallow the enemy to cause you to lose your focus and start to dwell on the things of thisworld, on the circumstances of this time. This world will pass away, and everything in it,

but My Word will last forever. Focus on Me, Focus on My Word, and I will strengthen yourheart. Remember that this fight is not against flesh and blood, but against forces that rage

inthe heavens. Fight the good fight of faith.

"I am neither a silent God, nor am I a deaf God that does not hear your prayers. I amworking - even where you cannot see, even in places you do not know; I am working ALLTHINGS for the good. Pray. Pray my child. Pray in power. Pray in strength. Pray with the

authority that I have given you. I have called you by name. Keep planting those seeds ofprayer, dont grow weary, do not stop praying, and dont grow weak. See, the seasons are

turning. It may look one way now, but soon you will see it with spiritual eyes. Stayalert...watching and praying! Soon you shall see what your prayers have accomplished."

So I say unto to each of you this day "Do not stop. Pray! Pray! Pray!" We must be likeJacob and dont let go until we receive our blessing.

HE HAS NOT FORGOTTEN YOU

COUNT YOUR BLESSING, NOT YOUR PROBLEMS

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill.In the room of

200, he asked, who would like this $20 bill? Hands started going up. He said, I am goingto give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple the $20

dollar bill up. He then asked, who still wants it?

Still the hands were up in the air.

Well, he replied, What if I do this. And he dropped it on the groundand started to grind

it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled, and dirty. Now who stillwants it? Still the hands went intothe air.

My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter whatIdidto the

money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by thedecisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are

worthless. But no matter whathas happened or what will happen, you will never loseyour value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those wholove you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by WHO WEARE. You are special - Don't EVER forget it.

Count your blessings, not your problems. Never be afraid to try somethingnew

IT MAY BE DELAYED, BUT IT'S NOT DENIED

...Do not fear, from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humbleyourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.

Daniel 10:12

We all have goals, dreams, and visions in life. We pray about them and try to hold fast to

them, because with faith in Jesus we know they will come to pass. And, when they do, it is

the most wonderful feeling. A dream becoming reality, a prayer answered, and our faith in

God strengthened even more.

But there are times the enemy will cloud the vision that God gives us. He may not be ableto read your mind, but he can hear your words. He sees your actions (and reactions) and

knows your "hot buttons". He knows just what buttons to push, and when to push them to

get your mind off the vision. He would like nothing better than to steal our dreams. But he

can't steal our dreams, unless we let him. This is why it's so important for us to hold fast

our confession of faith. It's so important be diligent in our faith. "Be sober, be vigilant;

because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may

devour" (1 Peter 5:8)

Disappointment can open a door for the enemy to slip in and "steal, kill and destroy"

(John 10:10), our hopes and dreams. There is a song entitled "When God is Silent", that Itruly love. It talks about how when God is silent He is giving us more time to pray. If

you're praying and praying and praying for something and it just hasn't arrived yet, keep

praying! PUSH! Pray until something happens. Then pray some more.

There are times when we pray to God for an answer, and it seems that all hope is gone.

There is no need to spend time worrying, just fall down on your needs again and again.

Jesus prayed the same prayer three times in the Garden, the night before He gave His life

for us (Matthew 26:44, Luke 22:41-44), and the Lord sent the angels to minister unto Him

to give Him the strength He needed to make it to the cross. If you believe God is working

all things out to your benefit, you have to believe His timing is part of that. He wouldn't

have given His only Son if He wasn't going to keep His promise to us.

I want to encourage you this day, not to be disappointed at what appears to be a lack of

results in prayer. We have no idea what the Lord is doing on our behalf to answer our

prayers. We cannot see it, but rest assured His is working it out. What He requires from

us is faith to believe that the Word of God is true. Just because you FEEL the answer isn't

coming, do not let the enemy make you BELIEVE your prayer has been denied. Keep your

eyes focused on Jesus, and keep praying in faith, remembering to thank Him and praise

Him for all He has done. Remember: GOD IS FAITHFUL!

DON'T GIVE UP

2 Corinthians 4:8 "We are pressed on every side by troubles, but not crushed and broken.

We are perplexed because we don't know why things happen as they do, but we don't give

up and quit."

Every day is a new day. All things are being made new. The old is being eliminated from

the lives of the people, and a fresh breeze is blowing, bringing in the new.

I do not want you to be discouraged, and give up hope. You will be avenged and you will

move into the work I have prepared for you. I am going before you and hemming you in

from behind. I am encompassing you with My love. Nothing will be able to touch you, toshake you, to throw you off guard, for I am doing a complete work within you. Every

idol is being brought to the ground, and you will honor Me with your whole being. So

please don't give up.

I see the struggle within you. I see you are being torn, tossed upon the waves of the storm,

but do not lose hope. Do not give up. Do not believe the lies of the enemy. Do not bow

down to the intimidator. Instead cling to the promises I have given to you, that when the

storms are over, you will get up onto your feet and you shall be changed, made new, no

longer divided in heart, and I will bring you into the fullness of your calling.

You cant lose hope now; you have come to far to give up. Why do you think that I cannot

over-ride the present situation? I can, and I will. I will take what seems, once again, like

an impossible situation and put My stamp of approval upon it. Push through to heights

unknown. Do not be content to live on the surface of life, but press in to the fullness

offered to you through My Son. Do not back down, but gear up and move forward. Those

who try to slow you down will not be successful. I shall take the reigns out of their hands.

No longer will they be a hindrance in your walk. I want you to set your sights on things

above and do not be thrown off guard by the so-called successes of men trying to deceive

you.

The day is coming when the truth shall be revealed and each one will be assigned his

portion in the land, his inheritance, and the reward for what he has done. So be faithful

in the call and I shall reward you with blessings untold. Trust Me to provide for your

every need. Trust Me to lift you up and out of despair and into heavenly blessings.

So I say to you do not be discouraged. Do not give up hope, I havent forsaken you.
