JESUS NEVER FAILS

WORD OF WISDOM
REDEEMER ~ Hebrews goel; i.e., one charged with the duty of restoring the rights of another and avenging his wrongs (Leviticus 25:48, 49; Numbers 5:8; Ruth 4:1; Job 19:25; Psalm 19:14; 78:35 etc.). This title is peculiarly applied to Christ. He redeems us from all evil by the payment of a ransom.

So many souls have tested Him, throughout the course of time
So many still reach out to Him, with broken hearts and minds
And every one of them will say with no exceptions that they find
Jesus never fails…. by Gary Driskell
He never has failed us and He never will. The devil will try his best, but try is all he can do. It is up to us to say “Get thee behind me Satan, you have no business here.” Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
How many of us have had the devil try to remind us of something that is in our past? I think that each of us knows that feeling of feeling guilty about something, and only because he reminds us of something. God does not bring up those things that are behind us. It is up to us to remember who we are and you our Father is. The Lord forgives and forgets. If He forgets it then no He will not remind us of it. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
I remember years ago a Pastor telling us of how the devil tried to remind him of something from his past. He said now I must be doing something right if he has to go that far back in my life.
It is not hard to know who is whispering in your ear. The Lord will not try to play games with you. He will not bring up the past, unless it is hidden or forgotten sin in your life. He will not keep bringing things up that have already been resolved.
The devil will work with what he has, anyway he can. He wants you to feel guilty. He wants you to think you are unforgiven.
You have to stand the ground of who you are and you is your Savior. You have to stand the ground of what you have been forgiven for. You have to stand your ground in this day and age as a Christian. 1Cr 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
As a Christian we cannot and will not let anyone including the devil bring up our past to haunt us. We will remember the lessons we have learned, the wisdom gained. We will use what we have learned to help guide others who we see going down the same path.
We will boldly remember who we are now and where we are going today. Hbr 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. We are the children of the One High God, the Almighty Lord, Jesus. Jesus the One who came to redeem us and paid the price in full for all our sins. Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Get thee behind me Satan; I am a child of Christ Jesus. Luk 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
God Bless,
