Lesson Of The Day: Your Faith....

Keeping It Real: For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

 

Have you ever been tested?  Even been tempted?  Well of course you have and so was Jesus.  But what did he do?  He spoke the Word of God. 

 

When we face obstacles, and you will face them, you must be prepared.  Today, just as Christians before us, have conquered and fought the good fight, we must also carry that same courage.  We are just in a different era of time.  God changes not, just man.  Man changes but also does the adversary's crafty schemes.  When we say God changes NOT, this is speaking of His nature.  God is Holy, God is all knowing but do not get it twisted, the era of time has no reflection on what God can do and will do to protect His own.  All the devices and technology has no power on God.  God is all powerful - just the utterance of His Word - changes the very atmosphere. 

 

So when you find yourself in a pinch, and you don't know your way out try this.  Jesus stood as a man, before the adversary, and said, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4).  But it is written - very powerful.  God has made us promises, He shall and will protect you!  I have included a few Bible Verses about courage:

 

Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you.  He will never leave you nor forsake you.

 

1 Chronicles 28:20 - "Be strong and courageous, and do the work.  Do no t be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you.  He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.

 

Isaiah 41:10 - So do not fear, for I am with you; do not e dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

 

Matthew 10:26 - Therefore do no fear them.  For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

 

Mathew 11:29-30 - Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

 

1 Corinthians 16:13 - Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.

 

There is absolutely nothing that God has assigned your hands to complete that He has not completely prepared you for.  Lean on the Word of God, when obstacles come - use the Word of God! Ya Dig?..
