The Battle belongs to the Lord! Help us to see the battle through your eyes, Oh Lord. The battle rages within our own hearts, and the unseen things, that surround us in this fallen world. Help us to see the Victory has already been won, both through your death and resurrection, and your promise of coming return and making all things right again. Show who you are today, and every day, as we persevere in Your Name. Amen!

What are we to do in these troubled times, that we live in? Really, we are not the first people, to go through difficulty. What does God say about this through his apostle Peter? 1 Pet 5:5 says….GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE ………Therefore

There is power, in the name of Jesus.. May we find all our answers, in your word today, and may we find grace, in the Gospel. May we find strength, through the power of your Holy Spirit. May we find hope, in the promise of eternal life, through Jesus death & resurrection. May we find Life, both now and forever. So many distractions in this world, but so many wonderful promises of God. Help us stay on the path of Righteousness, Oh Lord, we give ourselves completely to you.

The Apostles had not received the Holy Spirit yet. They had done many things for Jesus. Once they received the Spirit, they were able to do great things with Boldnes in the name of Jesus. How about you? Do you Believe? I believe and am not ashamed of the Gospel! May we declare with boldness, that in this sinful world, there are trials, but we have Victory thru Jesus. Not in world systems, man’s wisdom, world leaders, or any other created thing. Is is only through King Jesus!
