Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
Whose Report Shall You Believe By Becky Fender Whose report will you believe We shall believe The report of the Lord His report says I am healed His report says I am filled His report says I am free His report says victory Are you healed Yes Are you filled Yes Have you got the victory Yes © 1989 Dunamis Music There are only two kinds of reports to believe: Yahweh’s and everyone else’s. The latter report is that I am a failure. I am no good. I am unloved, unloveable, unable to love. I am too fat, too short, too skinny, too tall, not strong enough, not smart enough, not talented, not qualified. I must work hard as I can to be approved-which will never happen, because approval is impossible for me. I’m not good enough, I am unwanted and a waste of space. I have no purpose, no plan, no future. I was an accident – my parents never wanted me. I am a loser. I cannot provide for my family. I am the worst sort of husband/wife, my spouse cannot really love me because I have failed them too many times. My children can’t really love me because I’m such a bad parent. I can’t give my family anything. I’ve never done anything worthwhile. I have nothing to offer anyone. I’ll never get ahead. I can’t even hold down a decent job. I am a wreck. God doesn’t hear my prayers. God has forgotten me. God doesn’t want me. He ignores me like everyone else. He doesn’t love me. I’ve sinned too much, I’ve committed the unpardonable sin. I should just die – no one will miss me, anyway. Yahweh’s report is that I am redeemed. I am bought by the Blood of the Lamb, I am His child, a joint-heir with Jesus Christ. His report says that He created me with a purpose. He knew me before I was conceived, He formed me in my mother’s womb. He has a plan for me. No matter who rejects me, He never will. He picks me up when I fail. I am a part of the family of God. He is Jehovah Jireh, my provider. He is Jehovah -Shammah, He is ever-present. He has never forgotten me, and He never will. His thoughts of me out-number the sands. There is nothing that can remove me from His love -not life or death, nor angels, principalities or powers, nor any other thing in this world or out of it. I may not be perfect, but I can improve and as I draw closer to Him, He will help me. His Word will always be accomplished, He always comes through on His promises. He qualifies everyone He calls, it’s not up to me to be qualified. He has given me the talents and abilities it pleased Him to give. The world may fall apart around me, but He is my protector. It doesn’t matter what my bank account says, or my doctor, my boss or even my family – He says I am His and He is mine. It doesn’t matter what I see, because I walk by faith and this world is temporary, anyway. The world is His footstool and if He is on my side, then who can oppose Him? There are no weapons that can defeat me. I am loved. I am worth the persecution, torture and death of His Son. He is merciful, gracious, patient and loving. He is my Father. Whose report will you choose to believe? I choose the report of the Lord.

AuthorLike Israel who wondered in the wilderness 40 years, I have at last, come out of my own wilderness. The Lord has been speaking and now I am finally able to hear... at last, I have discovered my calling (in part, at least!) ArchivesCategoriesThe above pictures are some of my own, original art.
