Weekly inspiration for the Christian journey presented by Mister Roderick L. Evans
Good for Me
Not Without a Fight
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matt
11:12 (KJV)
In
our Christian walk and experience, it seems we forget that we are in
warfare. We end up taking and putting up with things, spiritually, that
we do not need to. Until we have had enough of being stressed, tired,
frustrated, upset, and spiritually exhausted, things will keep coming until we
take a stand.
We
have to come
to a place
where we trust God and His presence and
rise to face both internal and external oppositions. You have to adopt the
mindset that I am not going down in my walk with Christ… not with a fight!
Prayer of the Week:
“God, give me strength
to stand against obstacles in this life. I thank you for grace to be successful
in spiritual warfare. Amen.”
Can I? Yes, You Can!
Life is filled with impossible circumstances. The
reality of situations can sometimes weaken one’s faith and resolve in Christ. However,
the Christian should know that regardless of the situation, he is able to
overcome and live according to the principles of the faith.
I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me. Phil 4:13 (KJV)
Paul recognized that his ability to survive the hardships of life
rested in Christ’s strength. He discovered that he could navigate success and
failure through the ability of Christ. Though circumstances and situations
change frequently, we are able to handle them and maintain our walk with
Christ.
Even presently, some may still be wondering if they will be able to
continue. You will be able to through Christ who certainly will give strength.
So, ask yourself, “Can I make it through this? Can I do what Christ would have me
to do? Can I survive? Can I…?” Yes, You Can!
Prayer of the Week:
“I thank you for your promises. I trust that you will give me strength I need to endure the challenges of life. Amen”
