Are you in the army of the Lord?

Be of good courage, for the Lord will strengthen your heart. Preach his word in season and out of season, tell of all his wondrous works and do not be afraid of them, for those who are with you are more than those who are against you. So, stand up, stand for Jesus, soldiers of the Christ, lift high his royal banner, ye must not suffer loss. From victory unto victory, his army shall he lead, ‘till every foe is vanquished and Christ is Lord indeed.

What do we have that the Lord did not give to us?

All things are thine oh Lord, no gifts have we of ourselves, so therefore oh Lord, with grateful, thankful hearts, and we will give back to you, some of what you have so freely given to us. Oh Lord, how manifold are your works, in wisdom you have made them all! Thank you, Lord!

Are you pleading with the Lord to take away your temptation, hurt, or need from you this morning?

If instead of praying for your situation to be relieved you boast in your situation, know that you will overcome, for the power of God will rest upon you, his grace will be sufficient for you and his strength will be made perfect in your weakness.

For who is a God except the Lord? And who is a rock except our God?

There is none like him, there is no one perfect like our God, there is no one else who is worthy of more praise. The Lord is our rock, our fortress and our deliverer, he is our strength, in whom alone we should trust. The Lord lives, blessed be my Rock, let the God of my salvation be exalted! Praise the Lord!

Will you trust God to lead and guide you?

God is able to do more than we could ever ask or deserve. He is able to chart the course of our future, he will always go before us to lighten our paths, allow him to lead and guide you. Thank you, Lord!

Is your struggle helping or hurting you? Are you still faithful to God in times of struggle?

If your struggle is hurting you, your faith is small. Your struggle should be seen as a faith builder. Learn to be faithful to God no matter what, go through each struggle with a prayer and a praise to God; and for each struggle you overcome, God will lift you higher. Praise the Lord!

Are you washed in the blood of the Christ Crucified? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

My brothers and sisters in Christ, you will be hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed, you will suffer persecution and prevail, if you understand that the trials you go through are for your good, to bring you out much more refined, cleansed and made you pure until the end of time; but, you must not give up, do not lose loose hope, for the appointed time is still to come, and your reward will be sure if you persevere.

Are you willing to suffer for the sake of Christ?

If we claim to be followers of Christ, we must be willing to suffer for his sake, it is not good enough to just believe in him, but we must be like-minded, affectionate and kind and merciful, conducting ourselves worthy of the Gospel of Christ, whether absent or present in the Lord, esteeming others better than ourselves, looking out for the interest of others, doing nothing for selfish gain, but all for the glory of God. We will suffer persecution, but know that if you are persecuted for Christ’s sake, and endure, your reward will be great in heaven. Praise the Lord!

Do you understand what the will of the Lord is? How will you know what is acceptable to the Lord?

When we meditate on God’s word, when we spend time with him in prayer, when we take time to be still in his presence and listen to him, only then, will we truly understand what the will of the Lord is, and how to do what is acceptable to Him. The commandments were not meant for us to be afraid, but that we will know what is right from wrong. Praise the Lord!

Are you feeling overwhelmed this morning? Be of good courage, God will strengthen your heart.

Know that whatever you are going through that you are not alone, that God will walk with you through all of the dark hills and deep valleys of your life, that he will be your shelter, that he will hide you under the shadow of his wings. Trust in the Lord and in his ability to turn every wrong, every bad thing that you are going through right now, around for your good. Whatever you are going through did not come to stay, be of good courage, it too will pass. Praise the Lord!
