I love Jerry Savelle's devotional for today!
FAITH CONQUERS
When you begin to live a life of faith and to follow your
dreams, adversity is sure to arise because for the first time you’re dangerous
to the adversary. As a result of your commitment to follow God, two things will
begin to happen immediately.
First, your faith will grow. A major part of following God
is staying in His Word and listening to His voice. Doing these two things will
undoubtedly create a spirit of faith within you that can overcome any opposing
force that comes against you.
Second, the devil will come to steal away all that you have
received from God and His Word. Your faith is a threat to the devil. He knows
that if you are determined to walk in faith, then there is nothing he can do to
stop you from receiving what God wants you to have.
When trouble arises, it is often tempting to draw back from
what you are believing for. However, don’t give up. Don’t let that be an
option. It might be tempting, but quitting will not bring to pass the things
that you have dreamed about and prayed for. Faith conquers adversity every
time.
I John 5:4 says, “For whatsoever is born of God
overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even
our faith.”
Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world. That
means that any attack that comes your way, you can overcome it when you walk in
faith. There is simply nothing the devil can do to stop you. The faith of God
in us is greater than anything Satan can throw at us!
AMEN! Maintain your faith, trust, and confidence in the God of the Bible and His Word! There IS no higher authority that this! Her is Hillsong with "One Thing":Shalom in Him!
