October 9 Tribulation, Joy, An Overcoming Victory John 16:33
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, NC… “In this world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
Yesterday’s devotion dealt with the impossible becoming possible, through the power of Almighty God. Today, I continue to claim His Power for our living and to remind us of the victory that is ours through the shed blood of Jesus! When you observe the worldwide chaos and the traumatic activities of a world racked by evil and satanic activities, it is easy to feel a sense of being overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the insanity. Jesus spoke to His Disciples, with the knowledge that they were about to face some “real world” challenges and persecutions, and He would not be with them. Jesus spoke these words of promise to them, and He speaks these powerful words to us, right now, today! Praise God! God loved us enough that He sent Jesus to die for our sins and when we accept His selfless gift of redemption and claim Him as Lord and Savior, then, because He has overcome the world, and we are His, then, because of His Blood that covers our sins, we too, are OVERCOMERS! So, fellow believer, LIVE LIKE AN OVERCOMER!! Challenges are real, difficulties are happening, and sin exists in this world, yet, we need not fear…BECAUSE WE HAVE VICTORY FOR LIVING THROUGH JESUS AND HIS GRACE AND WE ARE OVERCOMERS! Let me say it again!!! WE ARE OVERCOMERS! WE ARE OVERCOMERS!! Claim the Victory and live victorious, not from our own power, but the “Overcoming Power of our God!” Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
** Post Note: When I observe the “insanity” of the actions and attitudes that are being pressed to be the “Norm, it makes be ask some questions! Why is it that Drag Queens want to “Read to Children,” yet never “Read” to the Senior Population? Why is it that parents are responsible for their children unless it involves their sexual preferences? Why is it that parents say no to vaccines, for their children having guns, for their children making decisions about smoking and drinking, yet are perfectly fine with their children making decisions about their identity and gender affirming drugs and surgeries? Have you noticed that our children seem to be the target of these unexplainable twisted thought patterns? Evil exists, and will continue to exist, and Christians need to be aware, be prepared and “Armor Up” to stand strong and firm against the insanity of the Evil that exists! I understand that some will disagree with my thoughts, and that is absolutely fine! I am committed to praying for those who believe that it is okay to sacrifice our children at the altar of political correctness! Satan understands the vulnerability of our children, and he is actively attacking the next generation! Parents, use some common sense and step up and protect your children! Opinion – A 5-year-old child is not capable or informed enough to make decisions about their sexuality, or to make adult decisions about life and living, and for parents to support a child that says that they are a girl, when born a boy, at 5 years old, parents, this insanity is on you! Please Protect your Children and let go of some pseudo political correctness! Your Children are More Important than Your Political Opinion! (My Opinion, based on God’s Word and My Experience)
