Many have become discouraged and lost hope while trying separately to cope and to overcome the stress of daily life. The life story of one woman in the Bible stands out as a stellar example of emerging in victory over vexation against all the odds.
When it seems like your healing is progressing very slowly (or not at all), it’s easy to become discouraged and to give up hope. The Word of God assures us that Jesus carried our sicknesses, diseases, and pain to the cross when He sacrificed His life in atonement for our sins. So what can be done when prolonged illness robs us of our covenant healing? Let’s explore together how our faith can overcome and how we can receive the promised result.
The Lord desires that we be “unstuck” from our limited way of thinking so that we can be “transformed by the renewing of our minds” (Romans 12:2).
The early church in the Book of Acts grew rapidly and then multiplied greatly. Thankfully they never forgot the principles Jesus taught them. Consequently, they raised up a continual stream of disciple-making leaders. If they had not, there would be no hope for our generation nor the generation that follows.
A continuation of last week’s message, Faith in Crisis, Pastor Harley explores the lessons learned from the Israelites crossing the Red Sea when pursued by Pharaoh’s charioteers. When faith meets crisis, the Lord of Heaven’s Army intervenes bringing overwhelming victory to God’s people. Just as then, He will now intervene powerfully in your crisis and be an enemy to your enemies.
Crises in life are unavoidable. Current events in our world indicate that we are rushing toward the end of time and Jesus’ return. How can a believer be prepared to stand in faith in such turbulent times? The Word of God contains many examples that will help us navigate the turbulent waters.
Galatians 5:6 says that faith works by love, and if we are harboring an offense, have bitterness, and unforgiveness in our hearts, we are stopping love, and blocking Faith from flowing in our lives. Jesus said it’s impossible to escape offense then it is imperative that we learn to deal with it in a way that pleases God.
The force of faith was designed to work for every believer. Many times it is tested, but even during times of testing faith comes, and it even grows. Jesus disciple John put it this way: “For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” So let’s learn, grow in faith and live in victory!
It takes a shift in your faith and your focus to receive from God. Faith-infused words become the seed that produces a miracle. Maintaining faith in the face of challenging and adverse circumstances will bring you victory after victory.
