RISE UP AND CRUSH WORRY, DOUBT AND FEAR BENEATH YOUR FEET!

” Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.” Proverbs 12:25

” Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.” Romans 13:14

The world we live in provides us with good and bad in our lives. It is easy to live a strong and happy life as long as things are going well. However, when the tide changes, when the waves of struggles begin to overcome us, we must be able to survive. Actually, we must be able to do more than just survive. We must be able to stand firm in our Lord Jesus and not allow ourselves to be swept away by our problems. At one time or another we all confront sadness, evil, worries and doubts in our lives. It becomes a war within us that can be successful with only one answer and that answer is Jesus. There is no way that you and I are able to overcome the evil that goes on around us without his help. We can try, and many do, but with little to no success. We need help. We need the help of the one who is stronger than our problems. We need Jesus! We need to have a strong faith that allows us to believe without doubt that He is beside us, in us and leading us. We must be able to believe and focus on Him and not what we see going on. We must be able to stand strong against sadness, against persecution and lies. We must not feel embarrassed or intimidated by the things of this world. We must focus on him and never allow our focus to wander from his truth. Worry, doubt and fear do nothing more than hurt us and eventually destroy us. God does not want his children to live defeated lives. He wants us to be victorious in times of trouble. He wants us to win the battles we face, and to do so with a confident hope of his trust and presence. He wants us to clothe ourselves with his presence. It is time to overcome with strength and dependence on Jesus! He is our hope, our strength and our successful life! PRAISE THE LORD INALL THINGS!
