The plan of God is not hindered in our life because of our failures and frailties. We will be brought into an incredible battle through the events of our life. Questions will bombard our mind such as, "Have I grieved you? Did I miss God?

Today in the midst of the storms of life we are reminded there is hope in Christ alone! If God is going to be glorified in this generation there needs to be a breaking down before He begins to build again. We belong to God and no matter what happens to this society nothing can separate us from the love of God. There is nothing in the stock markets or gas pumps to change that. It is time to simply believe God to keep us in the midst of troubled waters. God says He will take care of His people we can Hope in His promises because our faith is in God!

One of the master methods of Satan's power is to bring us under the spirit of fear. There is usually one great area that Satan attacks us in. If we want to win the battle over fear we must begin to seek Jesus with a desperation to be free. The greater the battle the greater the victory. We must stay in the fight! Pray and never give up! Always remember God has a purpose for every battle He allows in our life.

We will face impossible situations that demand nothing less than a miracle. God's people will never be triumphed over in times of calamity. Just as sure as God warns us of calamities, God will speak His promises into our heart. When you commit God to His Word the impossible becomes possible. We must take our faith to the distant unknown and stand on the promises of God. Those who put their trust in God will never be put to shame.

God will never leave His church without answers. In these times of sudden calamity the initial response may be fear, but we must trust that God has everything under control. He has a million ways to solve our problems. Usually in these times God is the only one that can give us answers. We must turn off every voice of humanity. God's people get their answers from one place and that is the Bible. God is calling His people in the secret closet of prayer so we can get a Word from Him. Don't let the Sunday morning blessings fade into the troubles of this day. Encourage yourself in the Lord!

It's time to stand in prayer, unmoved by the roar of Satan's lies. The devil only needs one area of sin in our heart to take us down. We can shut the mouth of the lions when we don’t allow past betrayals, injustice, jealousy and anger keep us from moving forward in Christ. We must get to the point where the devil has nothing more to say to us concerning these areas of pain. We know we are of an excellent spirit when we can bless the hand that God has used to hammer out our character on the anvil. We must understand that we don't grow by having our battles go away.

Jesus commands us to love one another. Love is unselfish and humble. The love of God washes feet. The love of God brings joy. The condition that our prayers would be answered is that we love each other. We are the body of Christ and in these last days the world will see the light of Jesus when we begin to love one another.

We cannot serve God and the world. When we live in mixture and pursue prosperity we will experience sorrow after sorrow. Walking away from God is like walking away from righteous authority, truth and integrity. God in His faithfulness will always have His way and when we return to Him with all our heart He will pick us back up and remind us of the plan He has for our lives.

We sometimes reason with the question, "if God is God why does there have to be any sufferings on our behalf?" At the Last Supper Jesus offered Judas an opportunity to enter into the fellowship of His sufferings. This would be to partake of a supernatural life for the betterment of others. There are so many Christians today that follow Jesus for what they can get from Him. What about you will you refuse the fellowship of Christ for your own gain or will you take the low road and be spent for the cause of Christ?
