2 Corinthians 4:7-9 &17

 

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair,

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

 

*So that we may boldy say, THE LORD IS MY HELPER, AND I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT MAN SHALL DO UNTO ME. (Hebrews 13:6)

 

God showed me that if we put our faith in Him it does not matter what man does. These light afflictions that we face here on earth is just that light afflictions, do not allow every storm that comes your way to toss you to and fro, become like a tree planted and rooted in God. When all hell breaks loose on every side of you start praising God, and stop murmuring and complaining, for God already knows what we can and can not bare. The walk with Christ is a FAITH walk, believing without seeing the evidence, just believing in and trusting God. I encourage the hearts this morning, do not allow the enemy to beat you down, do not allow the enemy to cause you to doubt God, because God said He would never leave us nor forsake us, and God is not like man He does not lie. So hold on, I encourage you right now to hold on to faith like never before.

 

ISAIAH 45:2-3

 

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gate of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by name, am the God of Israel.
