LIFTED HIGH ABOVE ALL PROBLEMS

” THOUGH THEY PLOT EVIL AGAINST YOU AND DEVISE WICKED SCHEMES, THEY CANNOT SUCCEED. ” PSALM 21:11

When Jesus was nailed to that cross, lifted up and died, and then went to hell and back and raised on the third day, he was in the process of lifting each and everyone of us above all things in this world. Each and everyone who believes in him and accepts him as their Lord and Savior is lifted high above all of their problems. We have been given the great gift of salvation. Our Lord Jesus is at our side. We have the greatest tool that could ever be given. He sits at the right hand of God our Father and intercedes for us. All we have to do to be successful is to believe and receive. All of the bad things that happen in this world have been defeated. Our problem is that we don’t always allow our Lord to go to bat for us. We get involved in the activities around us and forget who our strength is. We try to lift ourselves up and do things that we think will settle all matters, when in reality we are doing nothing more than making things worse. Through the death of Jesus we have been given abilities to do things that, in many cases, we never thought possible. With the help of our Lord we have been lifted up higher than the tallest mountains. We have been lifted above all evil. We must continue to build our faith little by little until there is no doubt about the strength we have in Jesus. Remember, “we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.” Phil. 4:13. But first we must have great faith to believe. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
