“I Will Make It!”
Dear Believer(s):
This is a New Day, a New Year, and a New Time. What will this New Year bring? We do not know the troubles, the trials, and tribulations that we may face.
Many believe that because we are a Christians, we should not face adversity. But the Bible says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. (Psalm 34:19) We must remember that there is a devil, and the scriptures tell us, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
Let me remind you as Christians we live in the world, but we don’t belong to it nor, are we controlled by it. We live, work, and move in and out of WORLD SYSTEMS that are controlled to a great degree by men and women who are children of the devil. (John 8:44) The devil is the god of the WORLD SYSTEMS of the habitable earth. These WORLD SYSTEMS embrace business, society, politics, religion, and family relationships. We are in the WORLD but we are not compelled to be of the WORLD. The Bible says, “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” (Psalm 24:1)
No matter what we may endure or what trouble we will encounter, we can say even before it happens, I will make it. Our faith in God and obedience to Him will deliver us.
Jesus said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrew 13:5) Jesus is always with us. His Spirit lives in our hearts when we are born-again by the power of the Holy Spirit. No matter what circumstance or what evil the enemy brings against us, we can be victorious. Ephesians 6:10-12 says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” 1John 4:4 says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” Luke 10:19 says, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 1John 5:14-15 says, “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
I will make it. You will make it. The key is that we must put God first in our lives. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Finally, when we love God nothing can separate us from God. Romans 8:35-39 says, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
When we stand on the Word of God and have faith, and believe in Him; we can boldly proclaim and know in our hearts that We Will Make It.
Let us pray; “Heavenly Father, we know that you control all things. We thank you that we are your children, and are in your care. This New Year may bring sorrow and trouble of all types. But we look to you, and trust you to give us total victory. Lord, help us to walk in obedience to your Word. Obedience to you will open the door to all of your blessings. Lord, thank you for allowing us to enter into another year. We pray this prayer in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen!”
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your sacrificial giving to support the ministry. Only God can reward you for helping me to spread the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I do ask for your continued support. Thanks again for all your prayers and financial support.
May God’s Blessings be upon you throughout the New Year!
