“Rejoice in your confident hope. Be patient in trouble and keep on praying.” Romans 12:12
“Don’t let evil conquer you but conquer evil by doing good.” Romans 12:21
Life is a constant battle between good and evil. It has been from the beginning and continues to be. When I was a child, I was always doing things that would get me into trouble. I would tempt and dare things that I knew my mom and dad did not want me to do. As I got older my actions got larger and more difficult for my parents to handle. I would skip school and lie about it. I even got my brother involved by having him to help me in some of my evil endeavors. But then came 1972 when I met Jesus at a Kenneth Copeland meeting in Omaha, Ne. At that meeting, and at the moment I met him, my life changed. I suddenly began to see the light and to do things differently. It seemed that my life got harder rather than easier because I had now chosen a different side and my life was changing for the better. I struggled for quite some time with many things because the evil I was leaving behind was constantly trying to haunt me. But as I continued to grow in Jesus, I became a completely different person. Even though I was in a battle for my life I continued to trust in God and my faith began to grow and my life began to change. No longer did I pick up my cigarettes and try to smoke them. My language changed and my complete direction took a turn for the better. It was, and continues to this day to be a struggle, because the devil wants to lose nobody. He will use every trick in the book and look for every crack in our armor to slither into our lives. But with the confident hope my Lord gives me, and with the patience he has taught me, I can be an overcomer and I can defeat evil. It is by continuing to push forward through any and all situations with, Jesus by my side, that I am the victor and not the defeated. Stay the course that has been put before you by Jesus! Continue to pray and study his Word. Never give up and always build your faith and trust in your Lord Jesus! He loves you more than you know. JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
