[pull_quote_center]“Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.” – Jude 1:24[/pull_quote_center]
Never doubt God’s ability to keep and save, God is stronger than you can ever imagine. We never have to fear falling or failing if only we put our trust in Him and follow Him wholeheartedly.
While Jesus was praying, as recorded in John 17:11-15, He said to the Father, “Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name… During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold… I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.”
Did you read that? Jesus, even before His departure, ensured that we would be protected and kept from falling: He said in verse 20, “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message.” That includes us!
Have no fear of falling; have no fear of failing or of getting lost; no devil is strong enough to snatch you out of His hands! Don’t you know that we are the apple of His eye? Just keep trusting in Him, you have already made it! Hallelujah!
Prophetic Declaration
I am safe in Christ; God is able to keep me from falling; I have no fear of failure, no fear of falling, no fear of evil because I know without a doubt that God is able to keep me. I will make it to the end, and I will succeed. I do not rely on myself or on my ability, my trust is in God’s ability to save and deliver. Amen.
