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!

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

Confused By False Prophets

Paul, an apostle – sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father – “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel – which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” “Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:6-10). Matthew; the first book of the Gospels warns in (Chapter 7:1-5) “Watch out for false prophets.” Accurately, these are those who in our present time, like in the time of th...

Awake Out Of Sleep

“…it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed” (Romans 13:11). This verse from the Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Romans is where he was instructing them to put on Christ. He was illustrating that during the time of sleep we are in darkness, our works may be of darkness as well. He went on to say, the night is already gone , in other words before Christ we were in darkness hopelessly lost. Now that He is come and we know the truth of our salvation Paul is saying  it is time for us to wake up! Come out of our darkness, and put on the armor of light, Jesus Christ. We are to make no provision for the flesh for the flesh will only try to fulfill its lusts. This morning, unless we open our minds to the teachings of the Holy Spirit the world will start right in telling us what it expects us to be doing this day. Our night is over, we now have Jesus, He is our Morning Star, our hope, and He alone is the way . “...
