Finding Courage In The Spoken Word Of God!
In the book of James chapter 5 verse 16 we read the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
This is the name {JESUS} that healed the sick calm storms and raise the dead to life and the same name has been given to us as believers to use as a weapon against the wilds of the spiritual enemy and the adversities of life therefore let’s not merely mouth the name but let us call upon it with faith and in prayer understanding the dominion and power it holds.
When we face obstacles that seem insurmountable let us declare in the name of Jesus, that no mountain is too high that it cannot be leveled and no valley too low that it cannot be raised just as Peter, used the name of Jesus to heal the lame man at the gate in the city called beautiful.
We employ this precious name to bring transformation into our situations we encounter daily.
Remembering the obstacles we Face are opportunities for God to display they are the platforms upon which the glory of God, is made manifest through miraculous breakthrough and when adversity strikes trying to break our spirit and resolved Romans chapter 8 verses 37 to 39 which reminds us yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us for I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come shall be able to separate us from the love of God!!
Remember the love that God has for us empowers us to face and conquer adversity and we activate this conquering power by claiming the name of Jesus against all adversity in that name we find our victory our healing our deliverance and our peace.
Jesus taught us not to pray in casual utterances or mere religious ritual. Let us wield our words in spiritual warfare let us speak it in faith and let us declare it in authority in doing so we will witness the crumbling of walls breaking of chains and the vanquishing of darkness that seeks to encroach upon our lives and destinies. So as we navigate the terrain of life let the name of Jesus open doors of opportunity. swing open war against sickness and poverty, and open doors of blessing and favor we are unlocking and claiming the promises of God when we receive the knowledge offered to us in the many stories and illustrations shared throughout the Bible.
This takes courage to decide for yourself. It may not be a popular choice in your circle it takes faith, prayer and courage. People who do not know God, or people who do not read the Bible may be unsupportive of your decision however, we are told to be around likeminded people from s God based church there you will find all the support you need.
In and through the name of Jesus we find break-through and victory. We find the answers we all are searching for. Throughout life each of us chooses our path and our journey. We are given the greatest gift in free will but through free will our choices lead us to the many blessings and sometimes challenges. However, as we seek God, we are given enlightenment and knowledge that leads to truth.
Each person has their own truth. It is through Jesus alone we find redemption and are saved.
The greatest gift is knowing Jesus meets you just where you are and his patience and love endures forever. He is the same today tomorrow and forever more. His word reminds us he will never leave nor fore-sake us, he is with us until the end of time at yet he remains with us and in prayer we can call upon him and he will hear our prayers.
My message today is not to pressure or offend but to bring this opportunity to discover the truth in your own search. In courage we find knowledge and in knowledge we find truth and truth we find wisdom and in wisdom we have victory!!
We hear a lot on the end of days and we all will soon find out for ourselves the truth being covered by stepping out in faith believing in Christ Jesus is his promise for life eternal. His word calls for us all to bring the word to our brothers, sisters, and neighbors. It hurts no one to just hear of the probability that the oldest history book has prophesized and continues to guide us toward the truth we find in his word.
My final thought I would like to share is that life is found in the spirit and not in what we see in this world. Guarding ourselves from that which we can not see is more important to us than what we see or experience. Life is fleeting and in a flash we are gone facing the spiritual life that is forever. Ensuring your choices have invested a blessed life in the eternal is my hope for everyone. But in chasing after this great gift there is only one door you can find it and the doors name is Jesus, he is the life!
