” The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.” Luke 4: 18-19 “
” Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is a faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.” Deuteronomy 7:9
Today’s world has created and continues to create situations that seem to be impossible to overcome. For those who do not know Christ, the earth in which they live is the end all. Everything in this world is the gospel to them. They believe it, they talk it, and they live it. Their actions and the way they think help to create what seem to be impossibilities for all people around them. However, there is hope! For every impossible situation stands the possible answer. For every disaster that takes place there is a reaction of hope, love and faith. For every negative that the devil creates in this world there is a positive created by our Lord God in heaven. The Lord is the creator of the world, and he is the ending of the story. He is the beginning and the end. Our Lord God created a covenant with his people by sending his son Jesus to this earth. That agreement was a “once and for all agreement”, which allows those who trust, believe and are faithful, to be saved by the blood that Jesus shed on that cross. In Genesis, God made a blood covenant with Abraham, and with Jesus, he has made a blood covenant with all believers. In Luke 4:18-19 we see the instructions that Jesus received. We see the goodness, the love and the favor that comes with our faith in his actions. There is nothing impossible in this world. The are thousands upon thousands of possibilities in our world today. We must, however, look to Jesus and none other. We must strengthen our faith daily as it continues to be under attack at all times. We must never focus on this world, but instead, focus on the wonderful blood of Jesus which was given to us so graciously by our God in heaven. Our God never fails. He never steps back from a promise. His Holy Word has stood the test of thousands of years, and it will NOT be overcome in today’s world, but instead will stand strong and continue to give you and me the ability for victory! Remember, Jesus is always fighting for us, and we have been blessed with the power of the mighty Holy Spirit who lives within us! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
