Sister Melissa shares a message of encouragement and hope, reminding us that our efforts for God are not in vain. She references 2 Timothy 4:17, where God delivers from those who speak lies and tries to diminish our ministry. She encourages us to persevere in our calling and trust that God will deliver us from every evil work. She explains that opposition is a sign that we are on the right path, and God sees our potential. As long as God is with us, nothing can come against us. We should give God glory and thank Him for His deliverance.
Hello, everyone. Sister Melissa here. It is 10 a.m., August 16, 2023, and I hope everyone is having a wonderful, amazing, beautiful day in the Lord Jesus Christ. I am back with another message from the Lord, a message to give you encouragement, to give you hope, that you may know beyond a shadow of a doubt that everything that you have done for the Lord thus far was not in vain, because God is getting ready to deliver you out of the mouth of the lions who spoke about you, who said lies about you, who tried to diminish you and the ministry God has placed before you to fulfill.
Yes, I am talking about 2 Timothy 4, beginning with verse 17. The word of God says, But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also, I was delivered out of the mouth of the lions, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen. Wow, that is a word for somebody, somebody who has been going through the fire, somebody who has been going through high waters.
You are in ministry. God has called you, and you have been doing the will and the work of God. But for some reason, those who rise up against you may think that they are doing you harm, but in all reality, God is setting you up for a great breakthrough. If you will faint not, if you will seek the Lord God Almighty, if you will pray for those who try to persecute you, if you will pray for those who try to do harm to you, because the battle belongs to God, and God sees, God knows what is going on.
I want to let somebody know right now, that in fact, you need people to rise up against you, because it shows that you are doing the right thing, and it makes the enemy mad. And the enemy will use those who are weak. The enemy will use those whom he knows that he can manipulate into coming or trying to come against the plans of God. But let me tell you something, as long as God is for you, there is nothing or no one that can come against you.
I want you to know that the reason why this is happening is because the enemy sees the great potential that is inside of you. He sees it more than you believe it, and the reason why he comes to attack you is because he does not want you to fully step into your ministry, to fully step into your calling. But as God is with you, he stands with you, he strengthens you, so the message that he placed in your heart to speak, it will be preached fully through you in the mighty name of Jesus.
And the Lord will deliver you from every evil work to preserve you for his heavenly kingdom. And all we have to do is give God the honor and the glory and say, thank you Lord for delivering me from the mouth of the lion that was ready to devour me. But God rose up and God stood by me that the message may be preached. Oh, I pray this has blessed you. Until the next time, bye bye for today.
