The one who went before, having the keys, he gave them to you, so that you can open or shut each door (Matthew 18:18). Our great Champion, the Lord of hosts is his name. He’s eagerly awaiting your advancement, so that he can induct you in the hall of faith of fame. He’s the author and the finisher of your faith in this life, and because you excelled and are doing quite well, away with him you’ll soar, being position to help others make the faith transition.

Hebrews 12:2 King James Version (KJV)

² Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Many reports are gone out into the earth. In order to operate in faith, you must cleave to the good report that the Gospel presents. Isaiah 53:1 says, “Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?” Let’s look at the next few verses, ( Speaking of the Lord Jesus the Christ):
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Then, 1 Peter 2:24 says (looking back to the cross):
 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Then 3 John 2: says: 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
So we have a great responsibility in carrying the good report of faith in the healing that belongs to us.

God has set up a delivery for you. A delivery of Joy, a delivery of Peace and Patience to wait upon him. It’s when we’re are serving him out of a thankful heart, that’s when trucks begin to roll up, having your goods from heaven. Slightly change your approach towards the King. When God thinks of you, let him call you’ll one of thee most thankful person’s in his Kingdom. Get your pin ready, here comes your delivery.

….be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Give thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Eph. 5: 18b-21….be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

No longer will you look in the mirror with a heavy cloud of condemnation over your head. But you will see, God’s chosen vessel, the apple of God’s eye, one who has been engraved in the palm of his hand. You will see one so precious, as the shining on a gem. So when you stumble or when you sin, repent. Turn away so that you and the Father can enjoy an unbroken fellowship.
◄ Psalm 103:17 ►

King James Version
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children.

Just when you thought you reached the top, your faith kicks in gear and you can’t be stopped. Whew! The power That is released on the behalf of those that believe the word of God is off the charts! Come on you’ve got that measure of faith (Romans 12:3), develop it so that God can add your name to the hall of fame of faith giants in your generations.

Choosing to operate by faith, shuts out old strongholds attempting to keep a lock and key on any individual who reaches for the word of God. Because casting down imaginations and every high thing that would seek to rise up against the word and overthrow it, takes place in the life of a person of faith.

2 Corinthians 10:5-7 King James Version (KJV)

⁵ Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

He’s going to be there forever! How wonderful life is, with this knowledge tucked away in your belt. Most good things come to and end, but not the Love of Jesus our beautiful friend. We can walk forward, and turn around, and there he will be. We can move to the side, and look to the left, and our Loving Savior remains in our vicinity. To the greatest love of all, we raise our arms in adoration and praise. Being so thankful that he’s not only with us now, but he’ll be there at the end of our days. (That is in this life not only, for he will greet us and step us through to Glory. Then we will be with him in three- dimension always)

Hebrews 13:5b.” I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

The key to having faith for the Lost lies in your love for them. I always think, that could have been my child, my parent, my sister or brother. I always desire the best for my immediate family. You know God thinks this way continually. The closer you dwell in your heart to God, the more the love and eager yearning for the lost will develop.

Jeremiah 31:3

King James Bible
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

They that Oberve Lying Vanites Forsake Their Own Mercies

Even though the prophet Jonah, got out of the will of God by refusing to go to the city of Nineveh and giving them the word of the Lord, He made amends. You see he repented, and prayed to God in the belly of the whale. Jonah 2:4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. Verses 7-10

7 When my soul fainted within me: I remembered the Lord and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

10 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

Had Jonah keep his mind on his dilemma, that would have been his end. He remembered the Lord, and his ability to grant mercy. He even declared that he would look again toward the temple. Now you look at God’s word and turn your attention away from that dilemma. Faith in the mercy of God must be developed.
