Message for July 11, 2021 from Pastor Shirley

Be of great courage today.  I have overcome so shall you overcome.  Don’t let it be even in your thoughts that you must just bear the trials that life throws at you.  Rest in Me knowing I know and I Am working on your behalf to bring great deliverance to you.  Rejoice for victory is already yours.                                                                       As born again believers we have been assured of victory in our lives. There are times when we may not see or feel it. But it is still the Word.  The devil is trying to defeat you through your thoughts.  Don’t let it be even in your thoughts that you must just bear the trials that life throws at you.  Jesus already bore it so we don’t have to bear it.  God tells us to rest in him.  Rest is when we completely trust the sovereignty of God and lean into His Holy Spirit even in the midst of not understanding the trials of life.  We can rest when we know God already knows and he is working on our behalf to bring the deliverance.  Be of good courage He has overcome so can we.                                                                                                               I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have trials but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident,]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] John 16:33                                 For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Deut. 20:4
