Shalom,


I really enjoyed how all of my studying today pointed to the same confidence that we should have in HIM! Faith Food for Spring by Kenneth E. Hagin says this:


For whatever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. - 1 John 5:4.


"I may be in the world, but I am not of the world. I am of God. My citizenship is in heaven. And while I am in this world, I have the Greater One living in me. Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4)."


It goes on to say:


"What else is in the world? Trouble. Adverse circumstances. Seeming impossibilities. But when I've faced such things, I've just remembered who is on the inside of me and what the Bible says. I didn't even have to pray about it. I just looked that circumstance right in the face and laughed as I said, 'If I don't make it over you, I'll make it around you. If I don't make it around you, I'll make it under you. If I don't make it under you, I'll make it through you, because the greater One is in me!' Even while I laughed, that circumstance ran off and hid!"


Then I looked at another devotional that is written as God Himself speaking. I'm not sure what I think about this devotional yet, but today's entry is great! 


"When the battle is at hand, child, rest assured that I will be with you to the finish. Because I am such a creative God, I may bring about your victory in a very unusual way. Nonetheless, I will give you the victory."


It goes on to say:


"Watch for My surprises. The battle plan I have may be beyond your imagination, with a solution or strategy that you never considered. I love to do that - to solve problems in ways no one ever thought of. When the battle is at hand, child, rest assured that I will be with you to the finish. Enter in, and be ready to be amazed."


I truly believe that if we, as believers in Jesus of Nazareth, will continue to intercede for this nation, our amazing God will show Himself exceedingly strong on our behalf! The enemy will never know what hit him! Amen! What happens in the world AFTER the catching away of the church is not our concern. The HERE and NOW is what we are responsible for! Let's do things God's way and EXPECT the amazing and surprising and abundant and glorious VICTORY! Amen!
