“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:” Isaiah 26:3-4 (KJV) The more you focus on the problem of your life, the more you are depressed and the more you are discouraged. The more you look at the challenge instead of...

The truth is that you have no one to turn to other than God that can help you in times of affliction. God can be trusted. I have never seen anyone who...

“And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.” 2 Chronicles 20:3-4 (KJV) You see, we always pray that God will deliver us from evil. One thing about evil is that it does...

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;” 2 Corinthians 4:17 (KJV) The truth about life is that you will always be stressed up, and you will always face anxiety.

“For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.” Acts 17:28 (KJV) You have the victory over the devil and everything that he can bring against you.

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18 (KJV) No believer is limited. Resources exist in the realm of the spirit that every believer can draw from to confront the things that they face in the physical realm. That is the edge that the believer has over the world. If the believer is...

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) My concern these days is when the born-again and spirit-filled Christians get to function like the world, react like the world, and talk like the world. Sometimes when you hear some believers talk, you ask yourself where is the...

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) We are living in a time in the history of mankind when we are faced with overwhelming circumstances. If you are not seeing the events of the world as very challenging, then maybe you live on another planet. There are pressures here and there. There are difficulties here...

“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, When my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2 (KJV) There is no situation that you are going through that God cannot resolve. Jesus is the answer to any issue that can ever confront you. When Christ came, He paid the price for everything that the enemy...

“And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.” Luke 1:18 (KJV) We give too much heed to human intelligence over and above the word of God.
