“Lord, It’s Too Late?”
Dear Believer(s):
We look at all the problems in the world. It looks hopeless as we face many trials, troubles, and problems. We look at the world’s establishments and systems. They all seem to be controlled by the devil. God’s people look as if they are defeated on every side.
In the world that we live in, where the devil is god of world systems (Business, religion, society, family relations, and politics) we live, work, and move in and out of these systems. These world systems are controlled to a great degree by men and women who are children of the devil.
Although we are in the world, we are not compelled to be of the world. We do not and should not live by world standards and ungodliness. We do not succumb to the ways of satan. We are not fooled by his lies and deceptions. The Holy Spirit in us enables us to live for God. We’re able to take authority over the tricks of the enemy. The Holy Spirit gives us power over the wicked one and his agents. We know and live by the truth.
We know God’s ways, and we allow Him to lead us. The Holy Spirit, which is Jesus in us, lets us know that, “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.” (Luke 10:19) With this Jesus power in us, we can overcome all the evil and trouble that confronts us. The Bible tells us, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill.” Who is the devil planning on stealing from? You and I. God’s children! Who does he want to destroy? You and me. He cannot control us. We know God is our shepherd! Who does the devil want to kill? All those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior. He does not want the Holy Spirit in us. This is the same Christ Spirit that defeated him, threw him out of heaven and is responsible for his having lost his position in God’s house. He lost much of his power. He lost his shining glory and we as God’s children can put him under our feet. Praise God!
Listen to me very carefully. The Lord is not too late. This is a lie of the devil. God is still on the throne. The devil is a liar, and he wants you and I to believe that all is hopeless. He wants us to believe that we are defeated. He wants us to believe that there is no God or God has no power. The devil will tell you that he is greater than God.
Whatever problem of the world that you are faced with God is greater. Whatever personal problem you are dealing with, God will deliver you. Maybe you are facing a sickness where it seems to be no cure and it’s causing you great pain. It could be that you are dealing with an emotional or mental situation that has plagued you for years. Your finances could be depleted, and you have no way to meet your monetary obligations. You may be faced with lack of faith in God and spiritually you want to give up. I say to you in all of these situations, God is not too late. Serious family relationship problems may seem to be destroying your family. I say to you again, the Lord is not too late. The world may seem to be totally controlled by the devil. No, this is not the truth. God is in control of all things. Pastor, how can you say the Lord is not too late? I can say this because the Bible tells us what God said. God’s Word is true. Let’s look at what God says. Psalm 34:19, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” In 1John 4:4 “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.”
In John 30:5 “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” In Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” In Hebrews 13:5 “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” And in Isaiah 35:4 “Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.”
Do not allow the noisy events of the world bring fear into your heart. We must live by, stand on, and believe the Word of God. The Lord is never too late.
Let us pray, “Dear Father, let us believe in our spirits that you are Never Too Late! The Spirit of Jesus lives in those of us who have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior. The Holy Spirit allows us to trust you in all things. We are more than conquerors. We thank you for total victory in the world that we live in, and in all of our trials. We pray in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen!”
I need your financial support in order to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please pray and ask God whether you should support this ministry. Be obedient to whatever the Spirit of God tells you to do. Thank you for all your help.
It’s Not Too Late!!!
