We Are Hard Pressed, Struck Down; But Not Destroyed

God is Always On Time
Jesus is grace is sufficient for me yesterday, today and forever1 I often think of His grace and His compassion, particularly when I look back at the many trials that I have faced and I know that Jesus is there for us. Almighty God, gave Him dominion over this earth and in with that I feel comfort. You know there’s an old saying that God is still on the throne and that no matter what the situation He will make a way somehow. He’s always there… He may not get there when we want Him to, but He’s always right on time! Through Jesus Christ we can do all things, who strengthens us.
A Turned On Church In An Up Tight World
Through it All. I learned to trust in Jesus, I learned to depend upon his word. We live in an age of poverty, terrorism, world hunger, energy sources. We live in a problematic society. An uptight world. We live in a society, where people are turned on to cults, meditation. We are a dysfunctional society. We are uptight and are faced with difficult circumstances.
These are days when men call good evil and evil good. When men called truth error and error truth. These are days when we are marked by hatred in a world torn by conflict. These are days when profits are more important than people. We are concerned about the kind of car a man drives, than in the man who drives the car. These are days when men turn away from God’s world. When modern minds are being mesmerized by secular thoughts. Some believe there is no life after death.
But God through his Son and Our Savior Jesus Christ trumps all the above. You need an anchor to know that Jesus Says, “Take my yoke upon you and I will give your rest”. Bring your burden to me and I will take them. You see Jesus gave his life that day on Calvary, so that we could overcome the world. So that we can take hold of the world and make away and secure God’s Word here on earth.
A turned on Church will see the agony of a struggling populace. A turned on church will see those who are sick and come to their aid. A turned on church will have the love of Christ. A turned on Church will have a love for God Almighty. A turned on church will have the ability to provide for the masses and introduce the world to the Word of God.
This world is not a good world. But Jesus warned us about its traps and snares. He warned us about the life we will be faced with. He told us it would not be easy. But he also told us, there is nothing you cannot overcome without the help of the Lord. The Joy of My Lord is my strength.
We need to make sure that we have a turned on Church. Not just in a physical building, but the turned on church, the Body of Christ is within you. We are the Church. We can be in tuned to God’s word, by living his will to bring others to the Body of Christ. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.
Do you believe that? Do You believe that Jesus Can lead you through dark and tearful times. Do you believe that Jesus can open up doors for you. Do you believe that Jesus, is the way, the truth, and the light? Do You believe that Jesus is your Savior and that he died on that Day on Calvary to give your eternal Salvation,to give you peace, to give you forgiveness of sins, and to heal your diseases? If You believe you will have eternal life and there is nothing on this earth that can overcome you. Because you have the power of Jesus in you and through you along with the Holy Spirit.
If you do not have the Holy Spirit in you, ask Jesus to come into your life today. Give yourself the ammunition you will need to fight this secular world, through Christ. Through Jesus you can have eternal life. It is His gift of grace to you.

He Who Dwells In The Secret Place Of The Most High
He who dwells in the secret place of the most high will rest in shadow of the almighty.
The Lord protects and keep us from harm each and everyday. When we dwell or live within his word we are safe and secure in knowing that almighty God has our best interest at heart. The Lord blesses and keep us.
He insures that we never stumble. He clears the path for us away from all evil and all sickness. He is a merciful God, who sticks close to us no matter what the circumstance.
Through Him and with Him there is victory, when we feel attacked by worldly pressures that consume us each and everyday. The Lord is our shepherd, I shall not want. He make to lie down in green pastures. He restores my soul.
That is my promise of victory through knowing the Lord. By His grace through His son and our Savior Jesus Christ. We know and He resides in us through the Holy Spirit. We have authority to declare all victory over the evils of this world.

In Business God Expects Us to Be Honest
God Instructs and expects us to be honest in our business dealing. Jesus overturned the tables of unscrupulous tax collectors. He expects all of us to be honest in our business dealings. Even today we see the affects of what can happen to an economy when we operate with greed and covetousness, which can lead to dishonesty. This is a great test of our inner attitudes and show the clear abundance of our hearts and the fruit of our spirit. Deuteronomy 25:13-16
We Must Be Aware of Lies and Deceit of People Who Claim Superiority
In Matthew 12:34, Jesus speaks to a group of religious leaders who often behaved as though they did not sin. Jesus said “How can you being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. This group acts spiritually superior to other people. Jesus told them that their outward religious behavior did not hide the true state of their hearts. Sooner or later the truth would come out about them, just as it does for us today.
In this secular world often are we confronted with the very situation; where groups or individuals feel that they are spiritually superior to others. Usually they have huge followings and believers. Ultimately, over time, the truth is revealed about these people and we see the fruit that they bear.
In the end we must be aware of the deceitfulness within the heart of people and be more adept at discerning truth from satan driven lies that they speak.
We Must Strive To Live Holy Lives In The face of Secular Chaos
No matter what, the Love of God triumph’s over any of life’s trails, any of life’s situation. Through His love, He gave us His Son and our Savior Jesus Christ, who died on Calvary for our salvation. “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
No matter what the situation, always remember that “We can do all things through Christ who strengthen us” When we declare God’s Glory and confess it. His light shines ever brightly in our lives. It does not matter about this fallen world. Despites the circumstances God is with us despite it and his Son Jesus Christ has already prepared a place for us. “We must strive to live holy lives in the face of secular chaos and let Jesus take care of the rest”
In God’s Own Time My Change Will Come
“If I can hold out, In God’s Own Time My Change Will Come”
This is my favorite song. It is uplifting and says all there is to say about staying the course, running the race, keeping the faith while God’s plan comes to pass. Here’s a rendition of “In God’s On Time”
