Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus the Christ,

“God will surely do this for you, for he always does just what he says, and he is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:9 (NLT)

“Faithful is He Who is calling [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you].” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (MSG)

“The One who called you is completely dependable. If He said it, He’ll do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (AMP)

The faithfulness and dependability of GOD (fullness of reliability, trustworthiness, true) toward us who believe is without measure; and faith (belief) is steadfast (stands firm-footed) on His promises. GOD the Father, Whose promises were restored unto us by the finished work of Christ Jesus, is reliable and trustworthy and true to His WORD (2Co 1:19-20). The LORD God Almighty is ever faithful to man (i.e., male, female) the permanent recipients of God’s DNA when He breathed life into the form He created from the earth, “And the LORD God formed a man’s body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And the man became a living person” Genesis 2:7 (NLT).  All occurred as the Angels of God watched with wonder and in awe; the only manifestation more glorious was the birth of Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing.1

Oh! how He loves us. Oh! the wonder of man in the fullness of God’s glory that was and is to come. GOD the Father is restoring the fullness of the glory innate in man (i.e., male, female) at the beginning by the finished work of Jesus the Anointed One. Glory to The Most High God! As the Psalmist wrote: “what is man that You are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? For You made us a little lower than God, and You crowned us with glory and honor” Psalm 8:4-5 (NIV & NLT); and Psalm 144:3 reiterates that same question; so too Job who asked: “What is man, that Thou shouldest magnify him? And that Thou shouldest set Thine heart upon him?” Job 7:17 (KJV). Yes! God who is Love, is ever faithful towards His creation as evidenced by sending His Only Begotten Son – JESUS, and then the Holy Spirit to comfort, counsel, teach and remind us of all things JESUS (John 14:26), just because God so loved and continues to love the world. Hebrews 2:1-18 further speaks to the faithfulness and complete dependability of The Most High God with Whom we are reconciled as sons and daughters by the blood of Jesus the Anointed One; that the lost walking in darkness and/or caught in the snare of the enemy, would turn toward Him and be freed. It is by the finished work of Christ Jesus, that those “in Him” have an heritage; and their vindication is through Him. That is, the Lord Jesus paid it all; He made the way.

Therefore, those who seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33), who dwell in the secret place of The Most High God and take refuge in Him (Psalm 91:1-2), who wait on the LORD (Psalms 27:14 & 37:34; Proverbs 29:22) may have confidence or exhibit trust or exercise faith in the faithfulness of God; for His WORD (whatsoever He speaks) must accomplish everything for which He sends it forth and is never revoked (Isaiah 55:11 & 45:23). It is by the God kind of faith operated or powered by the God kind of love (Mark 11:22-24; Galatians 5:6) that we witness and experience and enjoy, to the fullest extent, the tangible results of God’s faithfulness towards us; that God is able (2 Corinthians 9:8; Ephesians 3:20-21) and mighty to do whatsoever He has promised. Therefore, one’s faith must be stable or steadfast because the fiery darts of the perpetrator (worked through flesh as allowed) are relentless but never more powerful than the Sovereign LORD God Almighty – Yahweh Sabaoth/Jehovah Sabaoth – The Advenger of our adversaries – Our Abba Father by the blood of Jesus the Anointed One. The amplified version of Hebrews 10:35-36 refers to that kind of faith as a “fearless confidence” requiring patience and endurance which too is given to us of God. Hallelujah! The thing, however, is comprehension and application of the Word of God of which revelation of the information therein is by the Teaching of the Holy Spirit (John 16:13; Acts 1:8). God said it and manifestation is via faith (belief), exhibited by thought and word and deed, that it is true unto us according to the Word of God by the blood of Jesus and His finished work.

Hebrews 10:23 (AMP) – “So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His WORD.”

Psalm 89:34 (NKJV) – “My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.”

Deuteronomy 7:9 (KJV) – “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;”

Psalm 111:5b,9 (NKJV, NLT) – “5) . . . He always remembers His covenant.  9) He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever . . . ”

Revelation 19:11a (NIV) – “. . . before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.”

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
