Delivered from Affliction, Every Time!


“Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT

The power of Christ strengthens us and sustains our Spirit, beaming powerfully especially in our weakness. There is nothing in this world we need apart from God - and His grace. His grace is why he has mercy and why there is forgiveness. But we should not purposely put God to the test! It is wrong! There are many things that are wrong, that even people who call themselves Christians disobey. For example, following the world and acting like it. We all want to be noticed, to be stars - to be on top of the web. But the thing is, we don't belong to the world, so how can we suddenly conform to be one with it? Satan is the God of this world - so if you want to have worldly success, you need to be of the world. We are the lights, and because we are lights in the darkness there is going to be lots of afflictions, but, according to Scripture the Lord shall deliver us! 
“The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.”
Psalms 34:19 NLT

Whenever you face trouble, don't mourn! Confess the Word and put to work the Sword of the Spirit - His Word - and take up the situation in effective and diligent prayer. Doing this, you'll be on your way to overcoming the enemy!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
