But if you remember and meditate on the love of God for you and know you are the temple of the Holy Spirit, you will become an overcomer. Holy Spirit will lead and guide you into all truth and help you. With the help of Holy Spirit, you are victorious over the circumstances.
Change your focus and LIVE!
Don’t you realize that together you have become God’s inner sanctuary and that the Spirit of God makes his permanent home in you? Now, if someone desecrates God’s inner sanctuary, God will desecrate him, for God’s inner sanctuary is holy, and that is exactly who you are. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17 TPT)
God is full of compassion and mercy towards us. His lovingkindness towards us never ends. He is worthy of all our worship and praise.
Lord, you’re so kind and tenderhearted to those who don’t deserve it and so patient with people who fail you! Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness. (Psalm 103:8 TPT)
The character of God includes righteousness, holiness, integrity, reliability, fulfilling his word, lovingkindness, mercy and grace. He does not treat us as we deserve but is merciful. When we know him, we have no problem trusting and relying on him. He is our refuge and strength.
God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? (Numbers 23:19 NLT)
Has your life journey taken you through many difficulties? God wanted you to gain strength and to learn how to overcome. Difficult circumstance teaches you how to rely on God, for strategies of warring, how to rest in him and enjoy the fruits of victory.
God, all at once you turned on a floodlight for me! You are the revelation-light in my darkness, and in your brightness I can see the path ahead. With you as my strength I can crush an enemy horde, advancing through every stronghold that stands in front of me. What a God you are! Your path for me has been perfect! All your promises have proven true. What a secure shelter for all those who turn to hide themselves in you! You are the wrap-around God giving grace to me.(Psalm 18:28-30 TPT)
How many times have you gotten discouraged due to the battle swirling around you? Looking at things in the natural realm, it is easy to get intimidated. However, behind the physical manifestation, there is a spiritual battle. The enemy of our souls wants us to become depressed, discouraged and to give up. God wants you to know that it is his battle and he gives the victory.
David was a teenager who came to the battle to give his older brothers gifts and to bring a report back to his father. He found the Israelite army running in fear from a giant named Goliath, who taunted them. The Israelites had run in fear, forty days. David immediately, saw it as a spiritual battle, where the giant and the Philistines were defying the armies of the living God. David had killed lions and bears, who were attacking his father’s flocks of sheep and goats and he knew God would also fight for him, against the giant.
David defeated the giant, with the help of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies and with a stone and a shepherd’s slingshot. He knew it was the Lord’s battle and he walked in faith and confidence, in the Lord. Although the giant cursed and boasted, David killed him with a stone and the whole enemy army fled in defeat.
No matter how strong the enemy coming against you might seem, God defeats the enemy. Take heart and know the battle is not yours but the Lord of Heaven’s Armies!
David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies—the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel! And everyone assembled here will know that the Lord rescues his people, but not with sword and spear. Thisis the Lord’s battle, and he will give you to us!” (1 Samuel 17:45-47 NLT)
