Today’s Scripture: “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Today’s Message: Our Lord never guaranteed us a sin free life on this earth. We were born sinners and our natural sinful being seems to lean towards our sinful nature. However, our God has given us the greatest gift ever. He gave us his son, Jesus Christ to die for us and to take aways our sins. As we live on this earth, we will continue to have temptations, to have sorrows and to have many kinds of trials that we will have to overcome. Without Jesus we would not be able to be overcomers. But with him we are given power to be strong, have understanding and wisdom. When Jesus left this earth, the Holy Spirit entered it. He came to live in each of us so that we would have the courage, the instinct and the nature of our God to be able to resist the devil and his mighty attacks upon our lives. What we have to do is believe. We are to become intimately acquainted with his word. When we do, we learn to recognize his power, his promises and his ways. We are able to turn our sins over to him to be forgiven and forgotten forever. We are able to begin the walk of strength that is provided through Christ. We are able to overcome the evils of this world. It is sometimes very hard to understand, but no matter the hardship or how terrible it might seem at the time, if we pray and believe we will receive. As we read his word we are reading his will for our lives. When we pray in his word we are praying his will for our lives. This is our strength and our power. The devil and his army are unable to defeat our God in heaven. He has overcome the world, and we belong to Him! We have become overcomers through Christ Jesus our Savior! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
