Your Testimony Seals It

Today’s message comes to us from Psalm 40. The whole psalm, really, is King David’s testimony about God’s love and goodness; His faithfulness toward us. The very first verse covers waiting patiently. LOL I used to just get frantic, get attitudinal, get mad…and get into trouble trying to do it myself. Somehow, I figured out that God has perfect timing, and He knows when I’m ready to receive His help. LOL

God’s timing is not the same as ours. They say that patience is a virtue. It’s also a great work-out aid. Patience exercises our faith. We get to practice casting down those strongholds (attitudes and thoughts) that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. (2 Cor. 10:5) Faith, practiced deliberately this way empowers our patience. God always draws/brings us up and out. He brings us to the higher level of thinking and doing, and makes our steps secure. Some versions say, “He set my feet in a broad place.” That means He gives us plenty of room to maneuver in the battle. (Remember we are at war.)

Finally, here’s a really awesome thing I learned some time ago. God inspires and empowers your trust and faith, and your praise. You cannot help but testify to God’s love and goodness toward you when He brings you out of something. There’s power in your testimony. It seals you to your desired result. When you speak your victory out loud-you know, the one God just helped you get over that bed making thing-LOL, you are sealing complete victory over it. (Genesis 1:3) “And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.” Hallelujah! That was soooooo GOOOOOD when it hit me! You may have to deal with the same thing more than just a time or two before you’ve got it down, but your victory over it is sealed. Satan may slow you down, but he cannot stop you! I love this song by Hillsong! It seems to fit this message perfectly.
