What a Mighty God WE Serve, Can't NOBODY do you like Jesus..
โจTodayโs message..Matthew16:14-19..reminded us that Jesus intentionally took His disciples to a place known for darkness and evilโthe region associated with the gates of Hades. It was a powerful lesson that even when we find ourselves surrounded by difficult circumstances, we must never forget who God is and who we are in Him.
๐๐๐๐
The Lord challenged His disciples by asking, โWho do men say that I am?โ (Matthew 16:13). He was not seeking information; He was testing whether outside opinions could influence what they already knew to be true. The enemy will always try to position us to doubt God, question His promises, and forget His faithfulness.
๐ Know God for Yourself๐๐ผ
Although all the disciples walked with Jesus, they did not all have the same answer when asked who He was. Walking around faith is not the same as truly knowing God for yourself.
๐ 1 Corinthians 15:33 reminds us that evil company can corrupt good character. The voices we allow into our lives can either strengthen our faith or weaken our confidence in God.
When we do not know who we are in Christ, our power and authority begin to diminish. We see this in Mark 9, where the disciples found themselves arguing instead of operating in the authority Jesus had given them to cast out the demon.
๐ช Stand Strong in What You Believe๐ช
When you truly know God, your confidence changes.
๐ฅ Examples of Unshakable Faith๐ฅ
The three Hebrew boys refused to bow before the kingโs image because they knew who their God was. ๐ฆ Daniel remained faithful even when thrown into the lionsโ den.
๐ Isaiah 54:17
โNo weapon formed against you shall prosper.โ
God has given His people authority to deal with every situation that comes against you.
๐ Luke 10:19 reminds us that Jesus has given us power and authority over the enemy.
๐ฑ God Can Use What You Have
The Word of God cannot be hindered, delayed, or stopped by people. When God speaks, His purpose will come to pass.
Even when resources seem limited, God is able to perform miracles with the little that we have.
๐ Luke 6:48 reminds us to build our lives upon a firm foundation so that when storms come, we remain standing.
๐ Faith Principle๐
Knowing who you are in Christ gives you the confidence to stand firm when opposition comes. The enemy wants to create doubt, but God wants to establish faith. When we remain grounded in Godโs Word, we can walk in the authority, victory, and purpose He has already prepared for us.
๐ธ You have POWER and AUTHORITY! Open up your mouth and SPEAK...๐ฃNo matter what surrounds you, YOU belong to God.
๐ Stay in position, keep believing, keep praising, and keep standing on His Word. Victory belongs to the Lord! ๐๐พโจ
