Remember our Good Gifts

Pour le français cliquez ici ….

Every good gift and every perfect present comes from heaven; it comes down from God, the Creator of the heavenly lights, who does not change or cause darkness by turning.
James 1:17 GNT

The enemy is our tempter. No matter who you are, the enemy will attack you in an area in which you are weak. This is true because the bible says that he walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8) Don’t throw your hands up in despair at the thought. The Lord also says that if we resist the devil he will flee.

Sounds too simple right? It is that simple but when we’re under attack our minds play tricks on us! Let’s say someone really hurts you, lets you down. You’re going to be mad, right? Your flesh is reeling, you pace up and down the room muttering. You’re probably going to be plotting your revenge.

You may even think God is the one hurting you. Maybe you even start to think that God is a big old meanie. Well…it’s not true. God is always good and he says to not take revenge.

Never take revenge, my friends, but instead let God’s anger do it. For the scripture says, “I will take revenge, I will pay back, says the Lord.”
Romans 12:19 GNT

We don’t have God’s understanding, so taking revenge may be futile. Hatred breeds more hatred. The cycle should be stopped and Christians know what is true. Overcome evil with love.

Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good.
Romans 12:21 GNT

When we are hurting remember that God is good! This means that we can praise him and thank him for all the good in our lives…the good things are all from God.

God will give you relief from your hurt and suffering and give you the strength to overcome any obstacle so don’t give up! The Holy Spirit, our comforter enables us. Ask the Lord to help you and be persevering in prayer and in worship so that you don’t stumble. Our God does not slumber nor sleep and is more than capable of protecting us. He is a doting father.

Don’t stop fighting the good fight of faith…Jesus is alive and he wants you to overcome in order to live an abundant life, not a life with a limp, but an overflowing, flourishing Spirit filled life. Take an active step today towards overcoming by seeking God in the Bible, in prayer and in worship.

The Lord is waiting to bless you more than you can imagine!

Prayer: Lord I pray that you take a stand amongst the confusion in the mind of the one under attack. I pray Lord that you take hold of those struggling and never let go. Give that believer a pinch so that they know you are there! You never let go Jesus, of this we are certain and I pray the power of Jesus calm that storm you’re going through right now. Lord give us your strength to persevere. To You be the glory forever and ever. Amen!

Jesus has the power to help you overcome whatever painful thing you’re experiencing. Trust him, worship him with all your strength…don’t stop until it passes. It may take some time but pray everyday and you will overcome.

May the Lord bless you! Lorinda 🙂
