Day 1 - God Is Bigger Than Your Worldly Troubles

In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (John 16-vs-:33)

Have you ever stopped to think how different life would be if we were still living in Eden? No broken relationships. No difficult pregnancies. No squabbles with spouses. No financial woes. No cancer. No feeling far away from God. (And this list doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface!)

Instead we live in a world marred by the effects of sin. We daily face all kinds of pain, trouble, suffering, weeping, loss and despair.

The temptation is to blame our woes on God, but let’s be honest: The human race did this to itself. All God ever did was love us, and—when we rebelled—implement a plan to rescue us.

The promise above—a statement by Jesus to his followers—is a sobering assessment of the way things are. But it is also a hopeful reminder of the once and future Paradise for which we were created.

In light of such truth, author Elisabeth Elliot counsels us: “Refuse self-pity. Refuse it absolutely. It is a deadly thing with power to destroy you. Turn your thoughts to Christ who has already carried your griefs and sorrows.”

God’s Promise to Me

Trials and sorrows are part of living in a fallen world.

I am bigger and more powerful than any worldly troubles you face.

My Prayer to God

Heavenly Father, trials and sorrows are a normal part of life. I don’t like this truth, but it reminds me of my need for you, God. I can take heart in the fact that you will have the final word. I praise you because you are powerful and sovereign over my life—even the hard times. Always keep me looking to you.

Amen, bless you Evangelist Isa, God is the Author and finisher of our Faith. When he had given us the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, that was a MASTER key that will open in door in the earth realm and heaven. We have to know that we have the Anointing, Holy Spirit, and Authority to open anything in our lives.

Amen!

It is baffling and equally heart breaking that so many Christians struggle to enjoy the salvation that our Lord purchased for us with His blood. So many live poor, lonely, defeated lives when God wants us to walk in health, abundance, joy, and peace! As Christians, we are the sons and daughters of ALMIGHTY GOD; THE KING OF KINGS! Since our Lord is King of Kings, we BELONG TO HIS KINGDOM; WE ARE CITIZENS OF HEAVEN!! God's word reveals to us, that there is a way of living that we should enjoy as citizens of heaven. Matthew 6:33 instructs us to seek out, learn, understand and take time to know the kingdom of God. We are to seek out this kingdom and His righteousness above ANYTHING ELSE! This means seeking out God's ways of doing, being and operating! Our Lord made it clear that the things we need and desire to live well on earth will be added to us when we operate according to HIS KINGDOM PRINCIPLES!

In Matthew 16:19, Jesus says, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven...". A "key" is a tool that empowers us to open and shut doors or bind and loose chains and locks. Jesus gave us the tools to exercise His right and authority to rule on earth as it is exercised in heaven! We are to have things on earth as it is in heaven! Heaven is a place where the walls are made out of jasper, the gates are made out of pearl, and the streets are made out of gold. IT IS A PLACE WHERE ONLY GOOD EXISTS!! THERE IS NO SICKNESS, NO SORROW, NO FEAR, NO DEFEAT, NO LACK IN HEAVEN! Anything that wouldn't happen to us in heaven SHOULD NOT be happening to us on earth. The enemy loves to try to get us to accept things on earth that DON'T EXIST IN HEAVEN. But as citizens of heaven, WE DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH HIS SCHEMES OR PERMIT ANY UNLAWFUL THING INTO OUR LIVES!! Our KING gave us the keys to resist the lies and OPEN UP THE DOORS TO ALL HEAVENLY BLESSINGS!!
