So many voices in the current events we face today are shouting, “It’s too hard! You don’t have what it takes! You’re not going to make it!” At that moment when things are hard—when you feel like you will fail and you want to quit—lock down on the Word of God and do NOT give up. EVER!

Jesus will walk with you and give you the hope you need. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”

The unsaved world is not interested in our sermons, but they ARE interested in a Christ who will get involved in their individual lives. Introduce them to that Jesus!

Think about it—how can a human connected to the Creator of heaven and earth ever be without an idea? How can a person with the Spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwelling within them ever feel intimidated by another person or circumstance?

Jesus is not only with the Christian but He is IN the Christian; yet many are full of fears and worries, gloom and doom—waiting for a bail out by something bigger or “better.” Only when you know and understand Who is both with you and in you, will you will rise to the new levels of confidence to walk in the position of authority you have been given!

When Jesus called Lazarus forth out of that tomb in John chapter 11, He said to the people, “Unwrap him and let him go.” Why is this important? Because many of us still wear the “clothes” of bondage to sin, sickness, disease, lack, fear, etc. But you and I have not only been brought back to life, we have been unwrapped and set free, and transitioned into a new kingdom where we now have the authority to change things!

The devil has stolen the inheritance of the Body of Christ and is holding it without rightful ownership. Only when you as a believer rise up in your faith to take it back will he be forced to give it back to you. That’s why it is so important to study the Word of God, it’s the “reading of the will” where you discover what is now yours!

Faith is a force that operates apart from the reality of our circumstances. Your present reality may be saying you are out of money, you are sick, you are unemployed, your children are lost—but faith operates in the reality of what GOD says about the situation!

If you haven’t yet developed the habit of taking the “medicine” of God’s Word for health, life, and resisting sickness and disease, you can start today! And when you do, you’ll discover that down the road you’ll be able to walk through the midst any epidemic with no fear!

The devil doesn’t have any power! He only has the ability to try to focus our attention on a thought or some temporary situation or report, in an attempt to twist and pervert the truth of God’s Word that God has already given to us. Deception is powerless against those who make it their business to learn the truth!
