Victory in Jesus

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).


Raise your shield of faith, lift the sword of truth. Today you will be victorious!

When we are called into battle against temptations and the trials of life it is our faith that shields us against the enemy. Picture this in your mind; you are in a battle zone and the enemy is firing flaming arrows at you. As you see them coming you throw up your shield of faith and not only are the arrows deflected they are completely extinguished as they strike your shield! Faith is one of our most effective weapons against the attacks of Satan. As you read Ephesians 6:16 you will find the apostle Paul refers to; “the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.” There are other effective weapons we may use against this formidable adversary, but for now we are discussing this one powerful weapon we know as; faith.

Hebrews 11 is known as; the faith chapter. In it some of the heroes of faith are identified, and they serve as our capable instructors, our mentors; since they believed in the power of God, and that He would supply more than they were capable of under their own power. They called upon Him and trusted His will for them. His purpose and His power equipped them when they were weak and confused. You can call upon Him too. He is waiting to help you in your battles. All you must do is trust Him, obey His rules and believe He will help you. Your battle plans are already determined and provided for by Him.

Are you suffering from an illness, disease or some pain? Are you dealing with problems at home or work? You are in a battle with the adversary (Satan!) He is determined to bring you down to see you lose your battle. But wait! Here comes Calvary! Here comes the one who died for you…His name is Jesus! And your faith is now stronger than ever! Your battle cry is now,  ”We are the champions! “ I have Victory in Jesus!

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...
