New Blog Post: "How Can We Find Courage?"




When we have to face trials of any kind God provides us with the courage we need to meet the demands put upon us. The way He does this is to encourage us to trust Him through the Holy Spirit of God. We need to be rooted and grounded in the Scripture’s to enable us to meditate on the Word of God this where we draw our strength from. We must put our faith into action by trusting in God through Jesus Christ.
Being defeated is not a variable option. God’s gives us the courage and power necessary to know He will give us the supernatural inner strength to help us win the battles. When we go into battle we must never entertain any thoughts of being defeated. God has given us the power in Luke 10:19 NKJV says, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” We must recall the past victories God has already given to us in His faithfulness this encourages to know through Jesus Christ we can do all things. We must face the battle head-on and refuse or consider being defeated. This is not an option for those who have an unshakable faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We must remember the times Jesus has been faithful to us. When we go through fresh battles this is the time when we do need to seek the face of God and expect Him to give us the help and strength we need once again.
Having the right attitudes is what God wants us to have. We need to realize we cannot win the battle in our own strength. Knowing God is with us helps us to know we will not suffer defeat. We must continually ask God to guide and lead us within the battles and to give us the wisdom and discernment we need to overcome all opposition. We must not listen to negativity or negative people but trust in God’s Word and promises He has given to each one of His children that He will fight our battles for us. In 1 Samuel 17:47 NKJV “Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”

  1. In 1 Samuel 17:47 NKJV “Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.” Love that verse. I'm studying spiritual warfare now. Our battles are spiritual and must be fought with spiritual weapons; God then gets the glory!
