Is it possible to walk in victory everyday and never doubt God?

Can we as believers come to maturity in our walk with God and not allow the flesh or circumstances to hinder our faith and prayers?

Prayers are meant to be answered and we, as believers, should expect God’s best and His faithfulness in our lives.

Acknowledging God means knowing God wherever we are and whatever we are doing. This does not just mean intellectual assent, but an act of perceiving his character and will in every moment of life.

If we dedicate ourselves to trusting and seeking God in all circumstances, are we then to believe that life will be easy and that no trouble will beset us? We have all experienced enough of life to know that is not the case. Instead, what we can expect is that our journey will ultimately lead to him and we will not be shaken when trials come.

There is surely no more comforting truth in the whole Bible than that God guarantees to keep His children from the present moment of time until they arrive safely in Heaven.

Now unto him that can keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, Jude 24

To those in middle life: For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Timothy 1:12

And to those nearing the journey’s end: - And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. 2 Timothy 4:18

Jesus prayed for His disciples and us as future disciples

I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. John 17:15.

Peter gives the same emphasis to this glorious truth in 1 Peter 1:5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

They tell us that as believers we are chosen, sanctified, cleansed, born again and bound for Heaven!

The Lord is not only keeping Heaven for us, but He is keeping us for Heaven; so, His keeping power operates on both sides of the veil.

If we belong to the Lord, Heaven is certain.

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. John 10:28.

being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Philippians 1:6

For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6,

Lift your eyes! When you stumble, God has a new plan for you to follow.

Lift your eyes! You have mission given to you by God, the Creator of the universe.

Lift your eyes! The Holy One has great plans for you.

Lift your eyes! Your Father calls us to His glory and goodness.

Lift your eyes! There are no great visions on the ground at your feet!

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Luke 21:28

I WILL lift my eyes to the hills – From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2

“Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift

your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! John 4:35

Can moms nurture and raise GODLY children in today’s world? The answer is yes, but it is going to take help from mothers who have already raised their children and are further down the road. As older moms, we must be willing to spend time and mentor young mothers. But we must combat fear in this country of the virus.

Fear is a reflexive instinct of the fallen nature. It was new to Adam, and even though it was new—he acted on it. He hid from God.

We all battle fear to one degree or another. The recent toilet paper shortage is an example. People were afraid they wouldn’t be able to leave their home for months, so they stocked up on toilet paper and other necessities.

This generation is full of fear because they have no faith in the living God. Fear is every where and we have to recognize in our lives and combat it. People who are fearful will give up anything to anybody to have some security.

There is no point in trying to avoid battles, because, in life, they are inevitable.

As Christians, we are guaranteed to experience affliction, persecution, adversity, and trials.

However, God has promised us absolute victory in every situation we face.

Our job is to fight the good fight of faith and remain steadfast where God’s Word is concerned.

By refusing to be moved from what God has said in the Bible, activating our faith, and rising in the authority invested in us through Jesus Christ, we can walk out of any battle triumphant.

To a believer, tough times are just opportunities for miracles! We must expect them!

We are to trust God with all our heart, mind, and spirit

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.

The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace." Exodus 14: 13-14

We do not like to be told to wait, do we?

We want to do something. We want to try to help God out or help ourselves out.

Just standing still is unthinkable in our society today. The most popular words in advertising today are: Now, Instant, Immediate, Fast.

We do not like to wait. If someone is ahead of us in line, we are pacing. No wonder the concept of waiting on God is foreign to us.

But the Bible says...Psalms 27:14 "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."

On Sunday, we celebrated Palm Sunday, Jesus’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. It was the start of Holy week and also the beginning of Jesus’s spiritual kingship.

The Passover was on the 14th day of the month. The triumphant entry was on the 10th—the day which the law appointed the Paschal lamb be taken up and set apart for that service. Jesus was the lamb of God. And as king, His first act of authority was to cleanse the temple.

It’s important to see how Jesus spent the last week of his life. He spent it as the sovereign king putting his kingdom here on earth in total order. He addressed the Pharisees and the religious leaders, the purpose of church, conduct of false teachers, proper conduct for the saints, the punishment of those who rebel.
