When God is with us, who can stand against us? Romans 8:31.

Paul reminds persecuted Christians that no one can bring a charge against them because God justifies them.

Nothing, whether in Heaven, on Earth, or in Hell, can keep God from loving and reaching out to us.

I know that there are times when we feel as though we are losing the battle, however that is when the spirit of negativity rises against us.

That is a trick Satan uses, because he is aware that we are approaching the "finish line". Maintaining a positive mindset is definitely the most important thing you can do in these difficult situations.

If you're in the thick of a battle right now, or if the enemy is closing in on you, please know that you're never alone.

Many of us are fighting alongside with you, and God is the one who stands for us, shielding, preserving, and empowering us even when we are unaware. We never have to fend for ourselves because he is always with us, sheltering us throughout the day.

God empowers us, assures us of victory, and promises he’ll be there fighting right along with us.

He has given us his powerful and true words, so that we may be wise enough to stand firm against the enemy.

As we mature in our faith, we encounter more peace and confidence from God. The truth is that we can face anyone and everything because we rely on God rather than our own authority.

No power can stand against us when we are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, because no power can stand against him.

Continue to put your confidence in our God, who is more than able of being there for us at all times. Even on our darkest days, he stands by us and makes a massive difference in our lives.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
