Jesus said in Luke 10:19 NKJV :
[19] Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Ephesians 6:10
…be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.
•Our strength is always in the Lord.
•Anyone that is strong in their own strength is dangerous to themselves and to others.
Psalms 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
•When we realize that the Lord is our strength, and the strength of our lives, and the strength by which we live, we will live life without fears.
•In 1 Samuel 17, David faced Goliath and took him on in the Name of the Lord of Hosts. David didn’t look at the giant size nor the difference between he and Goliath to determine his victory. David didn’t look at the strength difference between he and Goliath to determine his victory. David knew the Lord was the strength of his life, and the Lord guarantees his victory.
•Likewise the Lord is your Strength of your life, and He guarantees your Victory. So walk victorious in the Lord.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

God wants us to be COMFORTABLE
+God does not want us restless, uneasy, or uncomfortable.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 says this :
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all COMFORT;
4 Who COMFORTS us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to COMFORT them who are in any trouble, by the COMFORT with which we ourselves are COMFORTED of God.
COMFORT: to remove grief, pain, and troubles and to give strength, hope, and love.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 says:
Therefore, COMFORT yourselves together and edify one another, even as you do.
+There is no COMFORT like the COMFORT of God. That is the COMFORT that God Himself gives.
+May you continue to be COMFORTED with the COMFORT of God, and may you COMFORT others with the same COMFORT.
Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust, and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Let go of the past,don’t allow it to steal your future progress. Don’t allow it to make you bitter and angry.

Ecclesiastes 7:9-10 NKJV says it best:
” Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools.  Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

+We can not move forward in life with things that are supposed to be left behind. The main reason why we should forget past hurts and abuse is  because God has a way of working things out for good.

Genesis 50:19-21 NKJV is a perfect example of that :[19] Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? [20] But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. [21] Now, therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

The Apostle, puts it thisway: ” Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.  Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3: 12-14 NKJV).

Therefore,”Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;  not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.  Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.  Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.  Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.  If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.” (Romans 12 : 9- 19 NKJV).

” But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 15:57-58  NKJV).

+It’s time to let go of the hindrances of the past that have been holding us back and keep moving forward in the Lord.
Let’s do as  1 Peter 5:7-10 AMPC says:
[7] Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. [Ps. 55:22.] [8] Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. [9] Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset–rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world. [10] And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

1 Corinthians 15:57 says :
But thanks be to God, who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
•In Christ Jesus, you are never without victory. You have the victory all the time. When challenges come your way, you should not be looking to get the victory. All you have to do is exercise the victory you already have through Christ Jesus. Amen!
Romans 8:37
Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loves us.
•you are more than a conqueror, and you already have the victory. Just function like and get used to it. This is where 1 Timothy 6:12 comes in. Fight the good fight of faith…
•Again you are not fighting the good fight of faith to get a victory. It’s a good fight because victory is already yours before the fight, during the fight, and after the fight. Yes! You are more than a conqueror through Christ our Lord.
Jesus said in Luke 10:19  :
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen

God wants us to be COMFORTABLE
+God does not want us Restless, Uneasy or Uncomfortable.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all COMFORT;
4 Who COMFORTS us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to COMFORT them who are in any trouble, by the COMFORT with which we ourselves are COMFORTED of God.
COMFORT: to remove grief, pain and troubles and to give strength, hope and love.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore COMFORT yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do.
+There is no COMFORT like the COMFORT of God. That is the COMFORT that God Himself gives.
+May you continue to be COMFORTED with the COMFORT of God, and may you COMFORT others with the same COMFORT.
Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Isaiah 55:8-11 NKJV says:
[8] “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. [9] “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. [10] “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, [11] So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Let’s See and Do All Things from God’s Point of View as Judges 17:6 said :
In those days, there was no king in Israel, but every man did that, which was right in his own eyes.
+Because of this mentality along with ungodly social and moral behaviors, God’s judgment and destruction came upon those men.
+It is not good for men to do what’s right in their own eyes. WE ARE ONLY TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT IN GOD’S EYES ONLY.
+Over the years, men have become stronger in doing the wrong things and too weak in doing the right things.
+It should never be about what man thinks or about what he wants.
Because Proverbs 3 :5-7 tells us:
5 …lean not to your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes…
+When we live by every Word of God, the Word of God will KEEP us, the Spirit of God will GUIDE us, and the POWER of God will operate through us.
+This is the Will of God concerning us. Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust, and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

The Importance of Living by FAITH
•Four times God said in the Bible “The JUST shall live by FAITH”

1. Habakkuk 2:4
2. Romans 1:17
3. Galatians 3:11
4. Hebrews 10:38
   •The word JUST in scripture means justified ( just as if we have never sinned). It also means RIGHTEOUS.
   •It is impossible to please God without faith, Hebrews 11:6.
   •It doesn’t take any FAITH to live unholy and unrighteous, but it takes FAITH in Christ Jesus to live HOLY and RIGHTEOUS. Why?
   Galatians 2:16 says,
   Knowing that a man is not justified (or made righteous) by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ…
   •You are righteous, justified, sanctified and holy because you live by the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His redemptive work for us.
   Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH; JESUS WENT THROUGH  WORSE FOR US.

Isaiah 53:3-5 NKJV gives us a brief summary of what He went through for us :
[3] He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. [4] Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. [5] But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me, and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me, and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” ( Matthew 11: 28-30 MSG ).

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” ( John 3:16-19 NKJV).

We have no excuse as Christians. ” Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who can not sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.  Let us, therefore, come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:14-16 NKJV).

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? [33] Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,  nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:31-39 NKJV).

He tells us in I Peter 5:7-11 NKJV to :
[7] casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. [8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. [9] Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. [10] But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. [11] To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

+Remember God LOVES us with the greatest LOVE of all times and for all eternity.
+God in His Person (Being) is Love. God LOVES with Himself because God is LOVE.
+May we continue to remain in the Wonderful God.
•And may we continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust, and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

Christ our Redeemer
1Pet 1:18-19 Christ is our Redeemer and He has redeemed us with His blood.
Gal 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us…
Ps 103:4 The Lord redeems our lives from destruction.
Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
•The Lord Jesus Christ is our Redeemer. He has delivered us from sin and all the consequences from sin by means of His sacrificial death on the cross and His shed blood (His Redemptive Work).
•As the redeemed people of God in Christ Jesus we have a renewed life and eternal life. We have available to us in Christ healing, deliverance, protection, provision, prosperity, godly authority and supernatural power.
•All that we have given up and have lost for Christ will be restored to us. Christ our Lord is our Redeemer.
Mark 10:30 But you shall receive an hundredfold now in this time…
(Joel 2:25 ERV) …I will pay you back for those years of trouble.
•Let the Word of God be the standard for your life. Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

•The Lord is forever present with us,and here is the proof :

” Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.  If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me;  Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!  If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You.” (Psalm 139:7-18 NKJV ).

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ( Romans 1:38-39 NKJV).

In Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV, it is written:
[18] And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. [19] Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

•Everywhere we go and everything we do,be it  good or bad, the Lord is right there with us. There is nowhere where He is not because He is Omnipresent.
Hebrews 13:5
…for He has said I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you.
•Let us always maintain reverence, honor, and respect for the Lord. His presence is with us at all times, and let us continue to please Him by walk in love, faith, righteousness, and holiness.
•Let the Word of God be the standard for your life. Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Jude 1:24-25 NKJV
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
