“When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, the Lord has done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams in the Negev. Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.” Psalms 126:1-6

Brethren, Satan is raging furiously in his highest level of anger against the true believers who are in Christ Jesus; he is no more fighting the church of God, he is fighting true followers of  the words and teachings of Christ Jesus, individuals who are believers indeed in all their ways, who have voluntarily surrendered their lives and all they are and all they have to the hands, control and leading of our Lord Jesus Christ; believers who have said Lord, let your will be done and let your kingdom come, believers who can testify to the power of the Cross and have evidence of the true salvation by grace and live their lives by faith in the word of God. Satan is fighting them in ways that are beyond present days imagination of events; he is fighting them with weapons that are not conventional based on their understanding of live and living and education and the knowledge of the word of God; he is fighting them with things that even the unbeliever around cannot comprehend will ever happen to a believer in Jesus Christ or to someone who reads, trust and believes in the Scripture and its power; but despite all his fights, I want you to know that we serve the God who does things beyond the best and proven thoughts, knowledge, wisdom, and imaginations of Satan and all his agents. Our God does all things well at all times and in every location under the heavens; He had done them before in the lives of people like you and He will do them again and again in your life and in the lives of all those who have, and will forever put their absolute trust and hope in Him despite the sorrows and pains of the present time and age happening in the lives of believers. I want to assure you that our God can turn that sorrow and that pain instantly around and give you an instant joy that is beyond imagination.

When the children of Israel were allowed to leave Egypt after four hundred and fifty years of slavery, they describe it as a dream; God turned their pains and sorrows into an instant joy and they live to remember and celebrate that this day. You will have the same, the number of years you have been in that bondage does not mean God had forgotten all about you; He remembers all His children for good and rewards them as He had promised. God will not and had not forgotten His covenant with you on the day of your salvation; He had forgotten the joy He promised, the peace He promised, the freedom He promised, the abundance He promised and He had not forgotten the promised that He will supply your physical and spiritual needs according to the abundance of His riches in glory. That day of freedom for the children of Israel was a day of an instant joy that the Egyptian envied. While the children of Israel thought it was a dream, it was actually real that God making their dream come true, He was making their desires to be fulfilled, and He was confirming their expectations a reality.

When it happens, they were instantly laughing instead of crying and their tongues were filled with divinely enabled laughter and with songs of joy. When the Egyptians saw it, they testified that the Lord has done great things for them. They also testified of the great things and were filled with joy unending. This is the promise to you and me today who are sowing with tears, we will reap with songs of joy; those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them. Your day of harvest will not be denied, your day of deliverance will be instant, your day of joy and celebration will be instant; your dreams will be a reality, and your expectations will be granted because God will restore your fortune.
