That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 1:7

Sometimes you need to be broken before you can be fixed. When we submit ourselves to God, he can then go and work his blessings in our lives. Most times we are our biggest enemy, putting ourselves in bad situations or following the wrong things.

But even as Christians, we will still face trials and tribulations, however we can have peace knowing we will always be victorious thru Jesus Christ

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 1 Peter 1:8

Blessed are those who don’t see but still believe, we can see the power of God working through our lives and others by The Holy Spirit. Signs and wonders happen on a daily basis, the question is our we paying attention enough to notice them?

Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:9

We can overcome the world because Jesus has overcome the world. We have a savior and a redeemer, who will fight for you with the greatest force in the universe. When you understand this, whatever situation your in, you can have peace knowing that you will prevail

Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 1 Peter 1:10

Prophets had to wait thousands of years before Jesus came to this Earth and saved us, we are fortunate because it is already finished. By the grace of God through Jesus Christ we are already redeemed, thru this hope we can survive the trials of fire in Jesus Name Amen

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 1 Corinthians 13:11

Before we understood God and accepted Jesus in our hearts, we viewed the world very differently. Things like money and prestige seemed very important, but when your eyes are opened to Gods plan, you realize the things of this world are temporary and pointless.

Becoming a Christian is like going thru childhood, at first you may not understand Gods word and still do reckless things, but as you grow stronger and wiser, Gods word begins to speak to you and your ways are guided by The Holy Spirit

For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12

Our lives and how we live them out matter, one day you will stand face to face with Jesus and you will account for your life. Do you truly serve it the best you could or did you squander your time on self-indulgence?

Even though life can be a daily struggle we need to stay prepared for that day. To stay strong in The Lord and to live like Jesus. The greatest gift of all is the giving of yourself

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

The gifts giving to us by God are Faith, Hope, and Love. Doesn’t matter how much money or fame you have obtained, if you don’t have these, you have nothing. Through Jesus Christ we have Faith, Hope, and Love because he’s defeated all enemies including death.

Through Christ we can have the Peace of God because of our Faith, Hope, and Love delivered to us from the crucifixion to the resurrection. There is no greater power in the universe than the power in the name of Jesus Amen

If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:7

A great revelation that Jesus taught here seems to be missed but many still today. Previously it was said nobody has ever seen God including Moses. But Jesus became God in the Flesh now the world has seen God. For Jesus is the image of God and gave us the personal relationship with God

Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? John 14:8-9

The disciples, though seeing the many miracles of God, still didn’t understand this revelation. And they insisted on still being showed God, obviously Jesus feeling a bit insulted as he has shown us the power of God. As Jesus said “Anyone who seen Jesus has seen God”

Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. John 14:10

Jesus is God in the Flesh, many still don’t understand this or many deny this but this is the truth. If you want to know God or have a personal relationship with your creator, then accept Jesus into your heart and you will know God

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. John 14:11

When you understand the Trinity you understand the relationship between the Father and Son. If you deny the Trinity you don’t truly understand the power of God and his plan to save us thru his only Begotten Son Jesus Amen

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the -heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming because we don’t have control of every situation. Sometimes its seems like your in a dead end with no hope. But we need to understand and realize that Gods plan is always greater than our plan.

We need to learn to trust in God and allow him to direct our steps and show us the way. It can be scary and almost feel your vulnerable by doing this, but when you put your faith in God, all things are possible.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

A lot of times in life we lean to much on our own understanding and not Gods ways. We think this can’t be logical or this could never happen, but Gods ways are higher than our ways, he knows the beginning from the end.

When we submit to Gods plan he will then make our path straight. Right now you might feel like your on a roller coaster full of ups and downs. Your life may feel unstable or out of control but God is our rock and foundation. When we stand on his word you will never fail

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

You are a Child of God and he wants to see you succeed, he doesn’t want you to fail. But you must trust in him with all your heart. Trust in his word and promises to you. Don’t get sidetracked by your own agendas, stick to Gods plan and you shall prosper.

So when your feeling lost, defeated, or hopeless. Call upon The Lord and you shall be saved, he is the lamp that guides our feet in Jesus Name Amen

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

You may be going through a hard time right now, feeling like you are walking through the valley of death. But know the God is with you and won’t forsake you! When we know that God is on our side we can fear no evil, because God wont forsake the righteous

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6

God wants us to be a warrior and not a worrier, I know this sounds cliché but its true. Cast all your cares upon God, don’t try to take on this life alone. When we believe and know the Almighty God is on our side its easy to be strong and courageous.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17

Satan is going to try to destroy you, just like when he thought he destroyed Jesus at the cross. Little did he know God used the cross to defeat Satan and death forever. Whatever Satan is trying to use to destroy you, God will use it to your victory. Trust in The Lord, he has a plan for you and your life.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Roman 8:31

When God is on our side, who can stand against us? Who can stand against the Creator of the Heavens and Earth? Who can stand against the one who breathed his Spirit into dust and created mankind? Nobody can, not even Satan. When you have God on your side, you are Victorious in Jesus Name Amen

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Romans 8:11

Just as Jesus prophesied he was killed and raised from the dead after 3 days, but why would the Son of God allow himself to taste death? Because he died so you didn’t have to die, he took our place. When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior you will be filled with the Spirit of God that has the same resurrection power that rose Christ from the dead

For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. John 5:21

All power and authority of Heaven and Earth have been giving to Jesus, he is the Resurrection, he is the living water that brings the dead back to life. See we worship the God of the Living not the dead, just as the angels said to Mary at the tomb, why do you look for the living among the dead?

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25

Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead after 4 days, by human logic this seems impossible but with God all things are possible. Jesus promised all who believe in him shall live, so who are you worshipping?

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation 1:18

The Son of Man died and The Son of God was resurrected, Jesus lives for evermore. And he is the gatekeeper of Heaven and Hell. The King of Kings will rule with a rod of iron, worthy is the Lamb of God to be praised. Is your name in the book of life? Ask Jesus into your heart and you will be resurrected also in Jesus Name Amen

And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. Luke 24:15-16

Jesus walked right along with his disciples and they didn’t even recognize him. How can this be? Could it be that they stopped seeking God and closed their eyes? How many times in our lives do you think Jesus was walking with us also and we didn’t even recognize him?

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? Luke 24:25-26

The disciples felt defeated, after witnessing Jesus crucifixion they doubted he was the Messiah, even after all the miracles and prophecies he showed them. So Jesus had to rebuke them and teach them the scriptures which revealed the Messiah had to suffer and die to pay for our sins. Could you be doubting because you simply don’t understand the scriptures also?

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. Luke 24:30-31

The disciples still didn’t recognize Jesus all this time until he blessed and broke the bread, just like he did at the Last Supper. As soon as they realized it was him he vanished, Jesus wanted to give them a clear sign that only they would recognize, is God sending you signs also?

And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? Luke 24:32

Even though the disciples didn’t know it was Jesus they felt the Spirit burning in there hearts. Remember you are a temple of God and the Holy Spirit dwells in you. Also be on the lookout for signs and wonders because you never know when Jesus is walking by your side Amen
