Have you gone too far? As I was meditating on this passage of scripture I could hear the words, who has bewitched you? As I looked back over my journey, with God, I could see how I allowed people to interfere with what I knew better. I know better not to place man on a pedestal. I know not to put my trust in man before God. I know not to obey man, over God, yet I have fallen prey to the human race. Well there is hope for our God has promised that He "I will” the Lord Jehovah, Himself, interposes to deliver, and redeem His people.

 The Lover, of my soul, has promised that He would deliver me out of the hand of the wicked and redeem me out of the hand of the terrible. God ,which is my/our spiritual Husband has pledge personally to rescue me/us. Jeremiah 54:   5For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel (Catherin).The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

 Isaiah 54: 14In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

 The most comforting part about this message is that His own arm will do it that He may get the glory. You see we can not do this in our own strength nor our weakness for we do not need to assist God in doing what only He alone is capable of doing. So many times we get in the way of what God is doing in our lives by trying to assist Him as if He needs our help. When we learn to truly step back and let go and allow God to be God in our lives then and only then will we truly be saved, In my experiences I have come to learn that I can not save me from me nor anyone else. It is a God thing! Like the sun is in the heavens, shines out resplendent in all-sufficiency. Peace, you unbelieving thoughts-be still and know that the Lord reigns.

 In this passages of scripture there is no words saying that our, Lord, need the help of neither companions nor relatives; for He undertakes the work alone. Since the promise comes from God, it would be well to wait only upon Him, and when we do so, our expectations never fails us. In all times of fiery trial, in patience let us possess our souls.

Lord God:

I humble myself with a heart of thanksgiving and gratitude for You being first of all my Maker, my spiritual Husband, The Lover of my soul. I thank you that you are God all by yourself and that you do not need the help of anyone else where I am concern. Lord, I, thank you for delivering and redeeming me from the hand of the wicked and the terrible. I thank you that "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.” I declare and decree these things in the mighty name of Christ Jesus. Amen!!
