Hope in the Lord!
When we put our hope and faith in someone or something, they
will always fail us. However, when we
put our hope in the Lord, He will never fail us.
This year has been strange I do have to agree with
this. Through all that has been going on
some of us are losing or have lost hope in God.
This is not the answer. If
anything, as for me, what has happened is I have gained more hope and faith in
God. I have gained a personal
relationship with Him that is even greater than before. He knows the plans He has for us and will
make a way for those plans to come into play, no matter what it takes. (Jeremiah
29:11) God loves us unconditionally, in a way that is
beyond our comprehension and thoughts.
His way is perfect, as He is the only one who knows the future we are to
have.
In this time of unrest, we have found that man deceives,
hates, and lacks respect. We cannot
count on those who are in the power of our nations to save us. Our only hope is in the Lord. These men are corruptible by the world and
worldly things. Faking who they are and
their beliefs from we the people to gain popularity and financial gain, for
their better good, not ours. So, we must
ask ourselves which God do we serve? Do
we serve the people who are our heroes or leaders? Are we servants to our selfishness and our
shortcomings? Where is the end to our
idolatries against God?
If you truly have faith and hope in God. Then you can see beyond what has been
happening. You can gain control of your
life by knowing that God is in control of it all. He is my Hero, my joy, my salvation, my God,
my Faith, and my Hope, there is no other.
Leave all that is in His hands because He will always make a way for
us. There is nothing that can harm us
nor come against our beliefs in the Almighty God unless we allow it. We are continually at war with an unseen enemy,
but we have the strength and knowledge to know that God has already won that
victory if we all will abide in Him.
Now is the time to stand our ground and proclaim that we
will not be shaken. That no weapon
formed against us will prosper, nor shall any evil befall us, and no plague
come near our dwelling place. ( Psalms 91:10 & Isaiah 54:17) That we rise up and show the world that Jesus
Christ is Lord, that there is no one other than Him who can govern us or our
nations. The time for salvation and
revival is at hand. Call out to God and
He will answer His people. The power of
prayer will move this mountain that is before us if we only get on our knees in
prayer.
I challenge you all to get on your knees and fight the
battle with all Christians from around the world. To gain honor, glory, and power to God for revival. To God let us praise and find our refuge. Let the Holy Spirit be our comforter and our
protector. For we are the Church, the
people of God Almighty! Jesus is our
rock and our salvation! Above all GOD IS
IN CONTROL!
Be strong and courageous. Go in the peace of God this week.
In Christ's Neverending Love,
Pastor Jean Marie
