Church
Living an abundant life
In John 10:10,
Jesus tells us that
he came so that we
could have abundant
life, but rarely do we
really live abundant
ly in Christ Jesus.
So often we find
ourselves tossed
about when trouble
comes, facing de
pression doubt and
gin to overtake you
speak the following.
“For It is written
that the Lord is nigh
unto them that are
of a broken heart,
and saves such as be
of a contrite spirit,”
according to Psalm
34:18.
When the enemy
whispers in your
fear. Many times, these things
are brought to us by our en
emy, the devil. Are we going
to continue to live in defeat, or
are we going to begin to seek
that abundant life that we have
been promised?
When we find ourselves in
fear because of something that
has come our way, I pray that
we will begin to speak the fol
lowing. “For it is written, the
Lord does not give us a spirit
of fear; but of power, and of
love and of a sound mind,” ac
cording to 2 Timothy 1:7.
When we find doubt trying
to overtake us, let us answer
with this. “For it is written,
Thou will keep him in perfect
peace, whose mind is stayed on
thee; because he trust in thee,”
according to Isaiah 26:3.
Are you broken hearted be
cause of a relationship that
seems to be in turmoil? When
thoughts of that situation be-
ear that things are not going to
get better speak the following.
“FOR IT IS WRITTEN, many
are the afflictions of the righ
teous, but the Lord delivers
him out of them all,” according
to Psalm 34:19.
If we continue in our faith
fulness to God; He will be
faithful to us. “For it is writ
ten, seek ye first His kingdom
and His righteousness, and all
these things shall be added
unto you,” Matthew 6:33.
Begin to pray and ask God
to help you come out of your
sufferings and be about HIS
business. We have HIS prom
ise that he will take care of ev
erything. That is when we will
find abundant life.
