For someone who might be going through a challenge, the devil’s strategy is to make you bitter by ‘blaming’ God and ‘justifying’ yourself for the situation. (Job 2:9) This will make the situation grow worse and worse. But the only way to turn that challenge into victory is by ‘justifying’ God and committing the ‘blaming’ of yourself to the eternal forgiveness you have in Christ Jesus. (Psalm 51:4, Eph. 1:6)
As difficult as it was for Sarah to overcome barrenness for many years, she received strength at old age and bore a child because ‘…she JUDGED GOD FAITHFUL who has promised…’ (Heb. 11:11) God is not against you. God is for you. You may not know why that situation happened or is happening but always remember…
‘…There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation ALSO MAKE A WAY to escape, that ye may be able to bear it…’ (1Cor 10:13)
That is your Abba Father. Because of Jesus finished work, His Faithfulness is on your side. His Faithfulness will heal you. His Faithfulness will give you that Child you have been praying for. His Faithfulness will provide for that need. Whatever be the situation that seems to surpass what your strength can handle, even if it was your ‘fault’ or not, please know that God is saying to you:
‘…My GRACE is sufficient for thee; for my STRENGTH is made perfect in weakness…’ (2cor 12:9)
He won’t leave you hopeless…for He Himself is your very Hope. (Col 1:27) He won’t leave you helpless…for He Himself is your very present help! (Psalm 46:1) And while people around might be asking if it was the sin you committed or your generational fathers committed… that is the reason for the issue…just as they asked concerning a man who was born blind…
‘…And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, THIS MAN, OR HIS PARENTS, that he was born blind?…’ (John 9:2)
The response of Jesus at the point of a challenge is not to search out your sins, faults, where you missed it, or the generational curse behind it. Jesus is more interested in you getting healed…than to point out the sin that caused it!
‘..Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that THE WORKS OF GOD SHOULD BE MADE MANIFEST in him…’ (John 9:3)
He will always take over. God’s work will be made manifest in your life. Even if you have used ‘hate speeches’ towards Him at any point because of what you are going through…His Faithfulness is still solidly on your side.
‘…I will Never Leave you nor forsake you…’ (Heb. 13:5)
Though Peter denied Him 3times, (Luke 22:61), yet He perfectly restored him 3times! (John 21:15-17) For all your tears, God will give you an open testimony. (Gen 21:1-2) And For all your shame, you shall have double honour. (Isaiah 61:7)
