Unchanging nature . Guaranteed . Impossible for God to lie .
I love to meditate on the fact that Adonai the Creator of everything has made a promise to us , the creatures of whom He alone made in His image . Indeed , as the writer of Hebrews says , the lesser is blessed by the greater ! ( Heb . 7:7 ) And what about the anchor of hope we have for our souls ? Yeshua Himself is the one who is interceding for us to the Father as our eternal Cohen HaGagol , or Great High Priest ! ( Heb . 2:17 )
As a deliverance minister , I have met many people who have a deep fear within themselves that they will be abandoned by God . Many of these people are even seasoned believers . There have been times in my own life when I have struggled with this fear of abandonment as well . From my own experiences and ministry to the hurting and demonized , I have found that often through our hurts and experience with other human beings , the enemy tries to stir up within us unbelief , fear of rejection , and fear of abandonment … by God .
Surely , the sinfulness of humankind has had a heavy hand in reinforcing the idea that God isn ’ t as faithful , gracious , or powerful as He claims . Most of us need ministry in this area . But here , I want to add more weight to the truth by taking a moment to deeply consider the power of God ’ s oath . What if we were to take Him at His word ? I mean REALLY take Him at His word ?
