No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (Romans 8v37 NIV)

Do you have a condition or are you going through a situation? The word of God tells us that; We are made partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end. (Hebrews 3v14) Remember child of God that your confidence in Christ began when you by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit believed and confessed the Lordship of Jesus Christ over your life. Thus you got born again, the greatest miracle of all time. You became the love child of a loving God. Apostle John marvels at the kind of love God, ABBA Father has lavished upon us. Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1John 3v1-2) Just as you were saved by grace through faith, the word of God implores us to continue to walk in the spirit, and not in the flesh as we grow and come to the fullness of the stature of Christ. Our confidence is firmly grounded and rooted in the knowledge that we are the beloved children of God. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. (1John 4v18)
We are called to walk by faith and not by sight, that is sensory perception. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Romans 8v6 KJV). You are a spirit being and therefore you should respond to the challenges of life from a spiritual perspective. Let the word of God be your light and your confidence in every situation. They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. (Jonah 2v8) The Lord has promised never to leave you nor forsake you, even unto the end of the world. " When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." (Isaiah 43v2)

God is for you. Be of good cheer. In all these things you are more than a conqueror through Christ who loved you. That condition. That situation. It came to pass. It has an expiry date. It is subject to change. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4v17-18) Christ in you is the hope of glory.

I had wanted to conclude this message here, but I sense a strong urge in the spirit to address specific people. Beloved of God, may I ask you to pause reading and start to pray in the spirit for as long as you are led.

Amen! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! For his mercies endures forever. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. In Christ Jesus, you are in your morning season. The Lord Jesus was betrayed and condemned at night that your night seasons may become your morning season of freedom and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Listen child of God. Nothing is impossible with God. You may be in a far away country, and you feel cut off from your family, your loved ones. You may be in prison in a foreign land or you have found yourself in hospital in the midst of strangers. Fear not. Only believe. Greater is he that is in you than he that is the world. You are coming out of this hopeless situation with a testimony. Our walk of faith is from faith to faith. We play by a different set of rules. The rules of warfare engagement are different. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;) (2Corinthians 10v3-5) We fight from a position of rest in the finished works of Christ, knowing that Jesus Christ, both our Lord and our Saviour defeated Satan and his demons for us more than 2000 years ago, and gave us the victory. He gave us eternal life, and scripture commands us to lay hold of this eternal life by faith. Our call is to: Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1Timothy 6v12 NIV) For your shame you shall have double. It's time to shift gears upwards in the realm of the spirit. You have talked about it, but now it's time to address the condition, the situation. Face the situation head on and talk to it.The Lord Jesus spoke to the rebellious situation. And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4v39 KJV)

Prophesy over that situation. Speak what you desire to see. As you speak and make decrees in faith, heaven responds on your behalf. You are a victor in Christ. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered at the sound of your commands.

And now, may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen!

Wrong believing results in wrong living. As we look into the future we need to sober up to the realities of our beliefs. Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. (Isaiah 60v1-3) The world is getting darker and darker. Now than ever before is the set time for the church to rise up and light up the world with the gospel of Christ.

Isaiah 60v1-2. Arise, shine; for thy light is come , and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

As the world emerges from the effects of the pandemic and the attendant national lockdowns, the future for many looks bleak and uncertain. Lives have been lost, many economies have been left limping resulting in the loss of jobs and income for many.

Our theme verses, Isaiah 60v1-2, gives us a prophetic picture of the prevailing state of the world. There is darkness over the earth. This darkness, is spiritual darkness. Prophet Isaiah observes that there is gross darkness over the people. Man is the victim of this satanic darkness. The coronavirus pandemic is not from God. The church need to understand the times we are living. We are still in the church dispensation of grace. "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind,to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him." (Luke 4v16-19 KJV). The Lord Jesus quoted from Isaiah 61v1-2, but stopped short of "and the day of vengeance of our God." His citation which ended on, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord, ushered in a new dispensation of the preaching of the gospel of grace. The acceptable year of the Lord, is the age of the Lord's favour lavished upon his church through the preaching of the gospel of Christ. God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. In this Church age, through the gospel message of the grace of Christ, we see the goodness of a loving God leading men to him. We are still in the dispensation of the grace of God. It is the will of God, our Father to have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of truth. Jesus is the Truth. He is the word of God that gives light to every man coming into the world. The world is getting darker and darker because it's resisting and rejecting the truth.

God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. As the world gets darker and darker, the church of God is getting brighter and brighter. God is counting on the church, on you, to save the world from darkness through the preaching of the gospel message of Christ. In Romans 1v16-17, Apostle Paul declares, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4v24
