BE ENCOURAGED NO MATTER WHAT

Blessed Saints of the Most High, I am going to attempt to keep my write-ups shorter, but get across equally vital points and words of encouragement that always comes from Gods Word. I am encouraged by one of my favorite scriptures that ALWAYS gives me hope when I am going through trials. In Romans 8:18, it reminds me that these trials are very temporal and will never be compared to the glory that will be revealed in us in the realm of eternity where there is nothing but joy, peace with endless hope. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us (Rom 8:18)! It's like comparing a droplet of water in the deep massive oceans of the world. It's like taking one grain of sand and comparing it to the massive thousands of sandy beaches worldwide. When we go through trials and it seems endless, I am encouraged to think about that verse and how temporal life here is on earth compared to the realm of eternity. Don't let your life just be unfortunate events of the past, but boldly declare that with the power of His help fighting your battles for you, He will use you more mightily than He would if you had not gone through any trials. Your past trials can be a use of double force against the enemy. It's time to renounce every vow, every agreement and spoken negative words that we may have made that goes against Gods Word and has allowed the enemy to invade our lives and our wrong way of thinking and replace it with His Word that brings eternal life (John 6:68). By His Grace, let us RISE UP with newness and Godly boldness within because we Know who He is, we Know how Great He is, We know He is for us and not against us, we believe He is most faithful and He is a Friend like no other. In Rom 8:36-38, when Paul was being persecuted, He indicated that even though He was going through hard times, he had that bold attitude to proclaim that no matter what trials we go through "WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOVES US". He finishes in the following verse of his reason for being relentless for his positive declaration was because he knew nothing was going to separate himself from Gods love for him. Paul knew God never stopped loving him, and He never stops loving us. Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:36-38). Notice Paul doesn't say "I am more than a conqueror", but he says it for each of us to say: "We are more than conquerors through Him who loves us". Let's get rid of any and all denominational barriers that often separates us Christians and be unified with each other, lift each other up and boldly declare that together "We are more than Conquerors through Christ who loves us" and that by His Grace, nothing is going to separate our heart-knowledge of His special love for each of us. Just like the people were mighty when they were building the tower of Babel simply because they were unified with one goal in mind (Gen 11:6), let us have that same unified mind of Christ and be equally powerful to be mighty for God to advance His Kingdom (Matt 11:12).
