I SHALL NOT BE MOVED!
“Those who trust in the Lord
Are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever” (Ps 125:1)

This evening was different than other times. We sensed a strong opposition in ‘the atmosphere’, something like an evil spirit of intimidation. We prayed, we prophesied victory and we praised God. Even then, the opposition remained. As I got ready to preach God’s Word, something like a veil came on me. I suddenly felt very weak physically, to the point of fainting, but my spirit was alert. I could not finish the message I had prepared. We had to close the service earlier than usual. As I left the sanctuary, this was my prayer: “Father, glorify Yourself in my life, even in this difficult circumstances” I have no doubt that in the days ahead the glory of God shall fill our church like never before. The powers of darkness have failed! Revival shall come to our church and our city!

Psalm 125 is a song of faith. As we go higher on the holy mountain, closer to God, our faith will increase and become stronger. This is God’s promise to His faithful children. The main revelation is that their eternal destiny is secure. The devil attacks and sometimes they stumble. But the saints can never lose their salvation. This is the doctrine of the eternal security found in Christ alone. There are many believers who are not willing to pay the price to grasp this truth. They believe that eventually they will go to heaven but presently, but they often doubt their spiritually status. Doubt is a serious threat to believers. You have to identify it as an evil spirit. Resist it and it shall flee from you. Until you personally witness ‘the fleeing’ of this demon, do not relax in your warfare against it.

The promise given in this Psalm applies to them who ‘trust in the Lord’ or who trust in Jehovah God. He is the eternal faithful God; the ‘I am that I am’, the God of the covenant, the God of the Jews or the God of the Bible. The true believers trust in God and not in themselves. In Hebrew, the word ‘trust’ means to run to a place of security, of confidence and hope. In that place you become bold against the enemy and you are able to boast in the Lord. The reason for this confidence is that God protects you. It is not a man protecting you. It is not that you are strong enough to protect yourself. No! To trust it means to have confidence in another. You trust God Almighty. That is no enemy can touch you. No man or demon can destroy you once you are inside that stronghold of trust. This is more than a wish. This is the reality the children of God have discovered, that God is faithful to His promises of protection against the enemy. This promise is especially wonderful manifested as retaining the blessings gained thru warfare and deliverance. For example, believers pray for healing. Then the healing comes. The next thing, they start to worry about the sickness coming back again. That is when you need the promise of security found in Psalm 125. I remind myself that I am not just saved, but I am eternally saved!

There are three main characteristics of saving faith:
1-Faith understands the Word of God!
‘Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God’ (Heb 11:3, KJ)
Faith knows God and His Word! True faith is not blind, is not foolish and is not ignorant!
2-Faith has the power to rise above the circumstances! Faith believes in miracles!
“In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up…Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all” (Ac 3:6, 7, 16)
3-Faith trusts God, His character and His promises! Faith knows that God is faithful to His promises!
“For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness” (Rom 4:3)
Lastly the question remains, are you a true believer in God? Is your faith the true living and saving faith? Do you pay the price to study the Word of God so that faith can increase in your heart? Do you find peace even in the midst of negative circumstances around you? True faith has the power to rise up above the waves of the sea! Do you trust God, His character as a Holy Person, His Word, the leading of His Spirit? The true believers shall persevere in their faith unto the end. This is the promise and the prayer of our Lord Jesus Christ. No matter what the circumstances may be, in sickness and in health, in poverty of riches…our faith in God shall never fail!
“I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail…” (Lk 22:32)

We sang a prophetic song giving by the Holy Spirit this evening: “I shall never be moved…My feet are planted on the Rock of Ages… I am hidden in the cleft of the Rock…like the mountains surround Jerusalem, I shall never be moved from my faith in God…I shall never be moved…”

In Christ I declare:
I understand the Word of God!
I rise above my circumstances!
I trust God, His character and His Promises!
My faith is the living saving faith!
Jesus prays for me!
I shall never be moved!
I abide forever!
In Jesus name
Amen!

(This is my testimony: one hour later, at home, I became strong and yes, I am not moved! All is well! Jesus is Lord!)
