God's Promises Sunday

Reality Of God’s Word

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.

We are living in times that test our faith. These times were prophesied in years past. This broken world was caused by sin, and satan can take credit for all of the evil because he causes it.

Is there anything believers can do about it? There is. It starts with the Bible. Most people do not realize that verses in the Bible apply to every generation, past, present, and future. If you don’t know the Bible, your trip through life will really be a challenge that you cannot overcome, because it is spiritual warfare.

James 1:12, blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the Crown of Life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

1Peter 5:6-8, Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

Pastors play a key role as they are Shepherds of the flocks of Jesus. It is their job to keep those in his or her care aware of anything in this world that goes against God’s word.

Truth in this world starts in the pulpit with the word of God. When you don’t have the truth, you will not do as you should. The Church must have courage to stand up for God and biblical principles.

It is not only the pastor’s job, but we also have the duty of due diligence. We can’t just sit back, do nothing, and complain that no one told us. Whether we want to or not, we must realize that the Bible is an instruction manual. Is a real-life guide to survival in a fallen World.

We trust all kinds of people with our lives and well-being, without giving it a second thought. We trust everyone that claims they are something. Pilots, doctors, the media, teachers, and so on. We don’t question, we just accept. We are inundated with lies every day, so we should pay attention to what we believe.

Why do we have such a hard time believing the Son of God? Why do we doubt Him, and don’t doubt anyone else? We cannot compare what we think or do to what God can do and how He thinks. Why is He challenged, and no one else?

We must follow the word of God even it doesn’t seem to make sense or possible to us. He does not see or think as we do, so when we start to compare what we think we are usually wrong.

Isaiah 55: 8-9, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways, My ways says the Lord. For as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Romans 12:2, do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you died on the cross and rose again to save me and to forgive all my sins. I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I Repent of my sins, and I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross to make my salvation possible. Amen. 

Praise The Lord !
