“Oh, give thanks to THE LORD, for He is good! For His Mercy endures forever. Let the redeemed of THE LORD say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,” Psalms 107:1-2.

So, this year has a few days to run, and then we enter the new year with earnest expectation and hope.

As we wrap up the old, waiting to unwrap the new, let the redeemed of THE LORD say JOYFULLY: “Oh, give thanks to THE LORD, for He is good! For His Mercy endures forever.”

He has done all things well.

According to Mark 7:32-37, in the course of His Ministry Itinerary, THE LORD JESUS came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.

Then they brought to Him a deaf man who also had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His Hand on him.

And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His Fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue. Then, looking up to Heaven, He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”

IMMEDIATELY, the man’s ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

And the people were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

This year, a lot of things may not have gone the way we had expected.

But JESUS has done all things well.

GOD has done so much for us, if only we would count our blessings and name them one by one – just like the song says.

And oh, how many times Satan wanted to crush us, but THE LORD preserved us.

Above all, we have hope of Eternal Life!

As you read this, many are dropping into hell, many are locked up in the TORMENT of fire forever.

But WE rejoice in hope of The Glory of GOD! We are called to ENJOY The Riches of His Grace. Hallelu-YAH!

This ALONE requires thanksgiving with every breath we breathe.

And we have hope that what THE LORD has promised He will surely do.

Give THE LORD the BIG thanksgiving related to the BIG thing He will do for you.

Thanksgiving is GREAT faith and praise that moves GOD.

See a previous Word on the power of thanksgiving here: “The Power of Thanksgiving: Giving Thanks Makes You Well“.

Whatever THE LORD has promised, we believe and know that He will SURELY do it. Therefore, we must give thanks just as we will when He does do it, because He WILL do it as He has said.

He has done all things well.

GREAT things He has done for us

Look at what He has DONE for us! He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for inequities, yes, He took flesh-tearing blows for us — blows that cut in, the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His Stripes we are healed! (Isaiah 53).

He has done all things well.

He poured His Life unto death for us to have The Indestructible Life (Hebrews 7:16) – Eternal Life.

He has done all things well.

“Bless THE LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His Holy NAME! Bless THE LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His Benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. THE LORD executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed.” Psalms 103:1-6.

He has done all things well.

JESUS Who delivers us from the wrath to come, has done all things well.

Yes, He has done all things well; for having been justified by Faith, we have Peace with GOD through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, and we rejoice in hope of The Glory of GOD (Romans 5:1-2), but the unGODly and unbelieving are troubled on every side.

There is no fear in GOD. Faith in GOD dispels fear in the man who believes in Him.

(If you are a believer yet in fear, repent to THE LORD, and ask Him to, by THE BLOOD OF JESUS, redeem and cleanse your life and bloodline from fear, and to give you GREAT Faith in Him always.

Then study and repeatedly declare 2 Timothy 1:7; Hebrews 13:5-6; Daniel 11:32, and similar Scriptures).

Trust in THE LORD JESUS. Yes, trust in THE LORD . For He says:

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” Isaiah 43:2.

WHAT a promise! What confidence to have in this troubled world!

Our hope is in GOD Who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them, (Acts 4:24).

He can NEVER fail to do what He has promised.

“But as GOD is faithful, our Word to you was not Yes and No. For THE SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, Who was preached among you by us — by me, Silvanus, and Timothy — was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. For all the promises of GOD in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to The Glory of GOD through us.” 2 Corinthians 1:18-20.

As that Darlene Zschech song (“Shout to THE LORD”) says rightly, NOTHING compares to The Promises we have in JESUS. Nothing.

The ALMIGHTY, The ALL-POWERFUL, The ALL-PROTECTING, The ALL-PROVIDING, The ALL-RICH, The ALL-HEALING GOD is our FATHER.

Why would you worry or fear?

“For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION by Whom we cry out, “Abba, FATHER.” THE SPIRIT Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of GOD,” Romans 8:15-16.

We are children of GOD!

With exceedingly GREAT joy, I often declare by The Utterance of THE HOLY SPIRIT that “THE FATHER is MY FATHER, MY FATHER is THE FATHER. GOD is MY FATHER!”

The ALMIGHTY GOD is our FATHER.

Whatever we need or want according to His Will, our FATHER will do it for us if we ask Him.

“He Who did not spare His Own SON, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:32.

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but THE SPIRIT Who is from GOD, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by GOD.” 1 Corinthians 2:12 emphasis added.

He has done all things well.

“GOD is faithful, by Whom you were called into The Fellowship of His SON, JESUS CHRIST our LORD.” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

We rejoice in hope of The Glory of GOD but the devil and his angels tremble in fear of The Wrath of GOD!

Hallelu-YAH! Thank you JESUS! Thank you JESUS! Thank you LORD! Amen.

Our LORD JESUS CHRIST?

He has done all things well!

And since He has done all things well, we ought to THANK Him well, knowing that all things will be well.

JESUS CHRIST has done all things well.

Let the chorus sound with glorious, Heavenly crescendo, that He has done all things well.

Have a WONDERFUL new year of He has done all things well.

 

“The LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:22.
“Farewell” Acts 15:29.

---

Jacob, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by The Will of GOD, according to The Promise of Life which is in CHRIST JESUS, (2 Timothy 1:1).
Like John, I like to put my head to The Heart of JESUS so as to know and do His Will always. What’s in His Heart is what matters now and FOREVER. His Heart’s Desire is my only desire.
As John was, I am the disciple whom JESUS loves, (John 13:23;19:26; 20:2; 21:7,20)
And like Paul, Jacob is “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
NB. Surely, “the disciple whom JESUS loves” and “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS”, like ALL The Promises of GOD, are available to every believer to obtain, just as John and Paul did.
“And having been perfected, He became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
