It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever been told by a friend or family member that you would never amount to anything? They looked you right in your eyes and spoke death to you. With no regret or guilt, they attempted to destroy you and your dreams. Have you ever had your dream(s) laughed at by people who had no faith? You took it upon yourself to review your dreams to everyone you knew. By doing this you assumed everyone would support and pray for you. To your surprise it was just the opposite. More people spoke against your dreams than for it. A close friend of mine told me to beware of dream killers and dream stealers. Today I tell you the same thing. Have you ever felt the desire to give up? Your hope was slowly fading away. What you once believed has begun to change. When was the last time you encouraged yourself in the Lord? In spite of what was said or done, you told yourself it could be done.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. The Lord is aware of the lies spoken to you by the enemy. Do you not know that the enemy is the father of lies (John 8:44)? There is no truth found within him. Whatever he has said to you is false and you should not believe one word of it. My friend, You Can Make It Through This! If the Lord has said or promised anything to you, rest on it. There is no storm, no dilemma, and no tragedy that can hinder the Lord from bringing His promises to pass. The Bible declares in Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? If there was anyone you could trust in, it would have to be the Lord. Check His résumé. You will notice He is qualified for the job. Child of God, the Lord would not bring you this far to leave you for dead. You Can Make It Through This! There is a purpose behind everything God allows (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
My brother, my sister, have you given up? Are you falling apart this morning? Do you still have the hope to believe? Have you surrendered the victory over to the enemy? Tragedies will come. Storms will rise. Traps will be set against. Lies will be spread. Rumors will travel. Enemies will come. Demons will attack. Beloved, You Can Make It Through This! The Bible declares in Romans 8:31 – What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? The thing you face today was destroyed when Christ died on the Cross. The enemy is fighting you because he does not want you to walk in the victory Christ won for you. Dear friend, after you have cried what are you going to do next? You must get back up. You must fight back. You cannot quit now. Your promises shall come to pass (2 Corinthians 1:20). Put your hand on your chest and declare to yourself … You Can Make It Through This! Prayer for Today: Father, All I have is my faith in You. Everything else will fade away. Today, I rest in the assurance that I can make it through this. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
