God Is Not Going To Let You Fail
by Jerry Savelle
God is not going to let you fail!
Do you believe that? The Word states it clearly. Just look at these verses about God’s faithfulness:
• “I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 89:1
• “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.” Deuteronomy 7:9
• “God is forever faithful and can be trusted….” 1 Corinthians 1:9 ("The Passion Translation")
You see it throughout the Bible: God is faithful. That’s good news because even though we’re believers, we’re not exempt from difficulties, trials, tests or adversity. Everybody faces trouble, but that doesn’t mean God isn’t faithful. Quite the contrary! God is faithful even in the midst of difficulties, trials, tests and adversity.
Years ago, I was ministering with Oral Roberts in Tulsa, Okla. When the time came, I preached my sermon and invited people to come forward for prayer. A number of people lined up. I walked up to one man and asked him what he needed me to pray for.
“I want you to pray that I will never have another test, another trial or any more adversity,” he said.
I laid my hands on him. “Lord, let this man die.”
“I don’t want to die!” he exclaimed.
“Well, sir, that’s the only way you can avoid adversity. You have to die and leave the planet. As long as you’re here, you’ll face adversity.”
Jesus warned us about this in John 16:33 when He said, “In the world ye shall have tribulation.” But it didn’t end there. He followed that by saying, “But be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
