Read is the key to defeating all that comes against you. In order for the hand of God to work miracles in your life, you must believe that He is able. Your trials have no power over you, except for what you allow. For that reason, you must never let the fear of any painful situation in your life become bigger than God.
The Bible tells us that Jesus came to set the captives free. We were once in bondage to the evil of this world now have a power or darkness. The death and resurrection of Christ gave us victory over anything that seeks to destroy us. He paid a price for us to live life abundantly, despite what we have to endure. He became our strength to conquer all of our enemies. He has put death and destruction under His feet. Those who have a relationship with users have nothing to fear from this world. He alone is the hope for all that you need, and He will not fail you.
In Matthew 15, we read about the apostles, who were in a boat on the water that was being tossed around by the wind and the waves. During the night, Jesus came to them walking on the water and they became afraid. Peter jumped into the water to go and meet Jesus, but heveas afraid of the storm and began to sink. He called to Jesus for help, Jesus caught him and commented on his lack of faith.
The truth of this matter is that it was not the wind or the waves that brought Peter down, it was his fear. Instead of keeping his eye on the Creator who could save him from all things, Peter instead empowered the wind and the waves. He feared that he would perish even though the Master of the universe was right there with him. Jesus is over all that is in this world and even the wind must obey Him. With just a word Jesus was able to quiet the storm.
Every now and then there is a situation Jesus can’t take you out of. But He will take you through if your trust is in Him. He can give you peace in the trial that you are enduring. The power of the blood of Christ is able to meet you wherever you are. It does not matter what you have done, or how far you have strayed, His love is able to reach out and lift you up from the waters of trouble and bring you to safety. Jesus is always willing to forgive you and give you a future that has promise. For the believer, the strength to live in victory is always with you because Christ lives within you. He alone can defeat a serious health problem, financial difficulties or any addiction and pain you may have. Jesus alone had the power to heal a broken marriage and restore families. That is your heritage as a child of the living God! Nothing is impossible for Him who spoke the world into existence.
If you are to weary from the battles you are fighting, lift your eyes to Jesus Who is the source of all strength. He will not leave you, if you have faith, His plan for you will never fail. The enemy has been defeated by the cross and his power has been destroyed.
Our Lord is able to keep us on top of the water despite what trouble comes against us, and what we are going through. You are never alone and your situation is never impossible for the true God whose love you will never fail you.
