Have you ever felt alone in this world? Like no one understands what you are going through? Well, Jesus understands! He wants so bad to turn your darkest hour, days, months, years...into your brightest!! Come with me as I take you into God's word and show you how to change your darkest hour into your brightest hour.... Psalm 3:2-6 2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. 3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid me down and slept ; I awaked ; for the LORD sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. Joshua 10:25 25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed , be strong and of good courage : for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight . 1 Peter 1:3-7 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 4. To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you. 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice , though now for a season, if need be , ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth , though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. Thoughts As we take a look into these verses I want you to really understand who are in Christ. The enemy would like for you to believe all the negative things that people tell you, or that you tell yourself, that you are! Who are you? Ephesians 1:4-6 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundationof the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us untothe adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved . You are a child of the one true King! You are royalty! All these things that you let steal your joy, and brings a cloud over you...rebuke them in the name of Jesus! Through your faith in Christ you are an overcomer! As we reread Psalms 3:2-6 above, many of us face this daily. People remind us of who we once were before Christ, but all that matters is who Christ tells us we are, and in that verse it tells us that he protects us and takes care of our every need. Even when we sleep, he is there. Psalm 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice : let them ever shout for joy , because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. We should live joyously knowing that Christ is ever near us, nothing can harm us if our faith and trust is in him. Looking at 1 Peter 1:3-7, we see that our faith is going to be tried; but if we stand strong in Jesus it says that we might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. We may have to suffer a little in this life, but we should never let the enemy steal our joy, because in the end we shall triumph!
