"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 3 July 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
In this verse our Lord simply states a fact of life...Life on our fallen planet often includes trials, traumas, and turmoils. Some days, weeks, or even years, toils and troubles seem to double down on us. Fraying relationships, unraveling finances, workplace worries. Double toil and double trouble seem to be our lot in life. If Jesus confirms that we will have tribulations, what hope can we have?
The hope that we need comes from the Lord's second promise, the promise that comes from the end of this verse: "...be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
From our Lord's Cross and EMPTY TOMB flows ample proof that those who cling to Christ in FAITH simply CANNOT LOSE! Victory belongs to us, in life and in death alike. TRUSTING that Jesus has OVERCOME and He shares His VICTORY with us, makes EVERY PROMISE of our Savior that much more comforting, even His PROMISES of TROUBLE and TRIALS.
Jesus who is our BEST FRIEND, knows how tough life's problems can get. HE UNDERSTANDS and EMPATHIZES with us, and yet His LOVE and POWER go much further, and He gives us the VICTORY through Him.
Today's Biblical Truth: "When we place our trust in Jesus, He can give us Peace in the midst of pressure."
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Lord You are indeed my Savior and my Best Friend, and You have overcome the world. Teach me Holy Spirit to "take heart" right now as I face the trials and troubles before me, so that in doing so, I might bring Great Glory and Honor to Your Name which is above every Name. I ask this in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, thanking You for answered Prayer. Amen

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus. Pray for Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian Pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to denounce Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and also for his lawyer who has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for defending him in the Iranian Court. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
"Ask, and it will given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you."
Matthew 7:7
Jesus Reigns!!! May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.
