Are you discouraged today or going through a difficult situation?

Be encouraged! The strength and power of the spirit of God is within you. You may go through times of suffering but God is with you. It’s through times of suffering that we learn the grace and mercy of God—the same spirit that spoke the world into existence.

You have all authority of Christ resident inside of you as a believer. He helps you in your weaknesses. He gives you strength. Your faith is stretched in times of suffering. Hard times can be a catalyst for you to grow in faith. This alllows you to grow in the knowledge and fullness of God.

• How much of yourself are you willing to give over to Christ?

• Do you still pray in faith and believe God can do all things?

• Are you praying the will of God or simply your desires?

Don’t forget the love and power of God is in you! God knows your heart, He loves you and cares for you, He will not leave or forsake you.

Let’s walk in faith and believe that out of His glorious riches He will strengthen us.

Pray without ceasing. Worship Him. Give Him glory and honor. As you go through daily life, be encouraged that the spirit of God is with you and in you.
