Accessing All Conquering Power by Faith

UV 4146/10000 Accessing All Conquering Power by Faith Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe (confidently) in God and trust in Him, ( have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and) believe also in Me. John 14 v 1 In this uni-verse, Jesus is encouraging His disciples even after revealing to them all the troubling events of the coming days including His death, His betrayal, the denial by Peter. We are to be peaceful, joyful, calm not on account of our worldly circumstances but despite these. Our hearts will not be troubled if we wholeheartedly trust God and believe the words of Jesus. The antidote for our trials, our tribulations, our worries is faith in God and trust in Jesus. He, then manifests Himself to us as the Balm of Gilead to anoint, enable, empower, equip, strengthen us, to heal us, to restore us, to deliver us, to make us victorious over our own betrayals, denials and death. The greater the trouble we face, the closer we should cling to God, our Father and to Jesus. Then, the Holy Spirit will comfort us, encourage us, remind us of the love of the Father and the compassion of the Son. We can find rest, assurance, consolation and strength in the loving embrace of the Lord which will help us brace ourselves to face any situation, overcome any challenge. The ultimate weapon the enemy has is death and even that cannot sting us, harm us, hinder us. Indeed, many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him from them all. But total trust, complete obedience, dependence, surrender to the sovereign will of God is the precondition to our entering and remaining in the rest or peace of the Lord. Our minds should be anchored in the Lord in the midst of any storm. Our mind should be focused, fixed on Him, not mixed with the world. It is reflected in a life of dedication, a lifestyle of meditation on the word. The word, it is promised in the Psalms, will deliver us from all our self-destructions as well as natural and man-made disasters or troubles. No problem is too difficult for the Lord to handle, no crisis too great for Him to confront and resolve. His power is unlimited. His resources are infinite. His mercy and love are great. Hence, by our faith and trust in Him, we can scale any wall, any obstacle, any barrier. We can run through a troop and break through a phalanx of forces arrayed against us. Our prayer like a javelin, like the staff of Moses can break through the heart of the enemy.
