MY FRIENDS, WHY ARE YOU FEARFUL? HE WHO IS IN YOU IS GREATER THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD!!“

Psalms 119 David said it was good that I was afflicted that  I might learn my statutes, Job said though he slay me yet will I trust Him His plan allows some good days, & then maybe again it allows some bad days Some days it brings happiness, & some days then again it will bring some sad days. Whatever the lord allows in our life…its right and good!! (Walter Hawkins)

My friends, that doesn’t make sense, you mean whatever happens in my life it is right and good with the lord, death, divorce, sickness, money crises, God is OK with it. Well the subject is infinite when we think of one’s problems within the interaction of our day to day life and how we as Christians relate or handle each situation or circumstances that arises.

With Christ Humanity took it’s toil at just the thought of not conquering and being victorious. In the garden of Gethsemane, “He went through an intense spiritual battle, struggling with the temptation to save himself rather than following through with God’s plan for him.” (About Religion)

But He became a survivor and conquered. What about you today in the midst of your struggles and storms. John 12:32 (ESV) tells us “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” My friends have you accepted that invitation with a passion to be drawn to Christ today.

“And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful?” Matthew 8:23-26 (KJV)

Those three words are where we will focus our attention today “why are you fearful?” His promise in Heb 11:6 (KJV) says ”…..He rewards those who seek him.” And He has already said He will draw you to Him if only you believe but like the disciples you must understand the storms of our life are natural occurrences.

In addition, they will never cease being a part of our life as long as the god of this world exist but what we all must understand is our Savior is in our presence, He stands right in the middle of our storms with us, while giving us the strength to endure just a little longer.

He bids us to stay focus and continue to let the world know that He saves even in the midst of their storm if they are willing to be saved.  And soon my friends everyone would have heard the good news that Jesus saves and that He is about to come and get His children to take home too occupy those mansions He has prepared for the redeemed in His kingdom.

My friends “Why are ye fearful?”  If our God is for us no storm will be able to ever overcome us. “When I saw what lay before me, Lord, I cried, what will you do? I thought he would just remove the storm, but, he gently led me through, on my way to the promise land because he knew without fire, there’s no refining, without pain, no release, without flood, there’s no rescue, without testing, no belief.

through the pain, and through the glory through the storm we will always, throughout eternity be able to tell the story, of a God whose power and mercy, never failed…to take us…” through the storm as he guided us on our journey to life eternal (Gaither vocal band)

My friends, once again “Why are ye fearful?”  “You can “overcome everything, simply because “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” that is a promise from a Father to his children to “walk by faith, not by sight.” as he transforms our character to endure and in a little while He will say no more my children, no more.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
