1CO 15:10, But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

And yet believing in and observing the faithfulness of God always coming through for me, as many of you experienced the His same thing as well.

2TI 2:12-13, If we endure, we shall also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us; If we are faithless, He remains faithful; for He cannot deny Himself.

And yet knowing and believing and observing the faithfulness of God always coming through, still there was a question lurking in my mind…that He finally answered in His time.

We watched reputations be destroyed and individuals making accusations against others that they were guilty of fulfilling what our Father said is true in: ROM 2:1, Therefore you are without excuse, every man of you who passes judgment, for in that you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

Many believers walking on a dark spiral downward taking others along with them.

2TI 4:3-4, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths.

2TI 3:1-4, But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

And then knowing and believing and observing the faithfulness of God always coming through. he even told us inJOH 13:19, From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.

And then I faced along with some of you questions like

I find it pleases Him when I can testify, I’ll trust my God to do what’s best and wait to find out why.

MAT 10:30, “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”
ROM 8:32, He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

MAT 10:34-38, “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.”

MAR 10:29, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake,”

MAR 10:30, “but that he shall receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.”

MAR 10:31, “But many {who are} first, will be last; and the last, first.”

Observing the faithfulness of God always coming through by operating under such principles as ROM 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

“Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once more.”

1. PSA 127:1-2, Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved {even in his} sleep.

2. PRO 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

3. PSA 37:25 I have been young, and now I am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Or his descendants begging bread.

JOB 5:25 “You will know also that your descendants will be many, And your offspring as the grass of the earth.”

The point is no matter who you are or where you are, the faithfulness.
