We do NOT have to be timid when facing difficulties in life! Because God lives in us and has equipped us with everything we need, we can face life with courage, with determination, and with boldness!
Where do we find the power of God? It is NOT something outside of us that we have to cry and beg to receive; the power of God is living on the inside of us through His Son, Jesus Christ!
God knows exactly what we need to live an abundant, fulfilled life. He knows the dangers along the way, and has promised to provide for every situation we will face. He’s not hiding this information from us, but it’s OUR responsibility to keep His Word in front of us. That’s where we find the map to navigate around danger and stay on course!
This is the Church’s finest hour! If Jesus is alive as we proclaim, then He has the power to change men and answer prayer. He has the power to establish nations and create peace. He has the power to produce wealth and heal the sick. Where is that power? IT IS IN US!
God believes in us and has entrusted us with His Gospel. He believes we can communicate to the world, and He believes we have the stuff to overcome all obstacles and devils! Do YOU believe it?
There is a heaven to gain and a hell to avoid in our future. No one will be sitting anything out on a mythical fence. Our bodies are temporal, but our spirits are eternal and will live forever in one of those two places and you make that choice!
If you’re a born again believer, the devil can’t kill you but he can keep you a spiritual baby, allowing him to rob you of what belongs to you in Christ. How does he do this? By keeping you continually distracted and preoccupied with nonessential things, thoughts, and entertainment, to name just a few. Prioritizing time with God and His Word is the only way you will experience the victorious life and relationship with God that Jesus died to make available to you!
The disturbances and confusion of the world is not a call to a monastic life, but rather a call to a higher thought life. Our victory is not found in fleeing the pressures of a secular world, but in keeping our thoughts in line with God’s thoughts in the midst of Satan’s bombardment.
What will you do with the gifts of God you have been given? Dedication to the Lord is that step where we devote ourselves to both the will and the way of God. Remember, talent is cheap but dedication is costly!
Dead religion and sin consciousness have created an inferiority complex in people, but God has no intention of putting you down. His great plan is to lift you up out of condemnation and give you a purpose!
