God meant for me to believe Romans 8:28. Memorizing and applying that precious, life-giving piece of His Word would keep me from falling back into believing the devil’s lies that threatened my very life.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.”
Proverbs 29:25
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Psalm 107:20
Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked (the Bible calls unbelievers of His Word wicked)
or walk in the way of evildoers (those who refuse to do the Word).
Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way (believing and doing His Word).
My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
Above all else, guard your heart, (God told me He placed an angel in my life to guard Romans 8:28 in my heart)
for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:13-15; 20-23
The Word of God is not something to be lightly regarded. It really is the difference between life and death, and, like me at one time, most don’t or choose not to realize that.
I think I’ve mentioned before how years ago, the Lord told me I had to believe Romans 8:28. It was to be a huge part of my healing. He even showed me a vision of an angel behind me that was protecting me from turning back from believing Romans 8:28. He told me not believing Romans 8:28 could kill me. That is how serious and loving the Lord was about me not giving up on believing Romans 8:28.
I woke up this morning with a strong impression from the Lord regarding Romans 8:28. He was saying a thick darkness is coming against this scripture and I must keep believing Romans 8:28 at all costs. He told me to “punch” through anything (including the fear of man and anyone who thought I was weird for believing it) that comes against His Word in this verse. I knew what He was saying to me was very important. Maybe someone needed to hear this as well today.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
