Greater is He that is In You!

1 John 4:4

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” 

Amen! God is greater than satan and He will overcome the world and all sin by His mighty power. If you are living for God and striving to do His will you have hope. Maybe you are in a situation where you are slandered for preaching the truth. This is common in this day in time when MANY so called churches are relying on a religious man made system instead of on God and his word. Let this not be so among the true saints. 

Romans 14:12

“So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” 

Matthew 5:10

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” 

Are you being slandered or mocked for God? Well, Hallelujah!! 

Matthew 5:10

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” 

Isn't this an encouraging verse to know that we can trust God in the midst of the worst circumstances? Yes we can as long as we hold fast to the faith. 

Revelation 2:25

“But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.” 

Romans 8:18

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” 

1 Peter Chapter 4

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy [are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

2 Corinthians Chapter 4

8 [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair;

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

We are not forsaken or cast down. Isn't this a beautiful picture of the awesome love of God. We need to be prepared to face adversity by staying faithful to Him. God is on our side as long as we are born again and living for Him daily. Let's get excited in the spirit and use the sword of His word to fight satans tactics. 

Matthew 10:28

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” 

Matthew 6:33

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 

1 Peter 5:10

“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” 

God wants His saints to be strong in Him and not waver. Unwavering faith in the midst of trials will only help us to be stronger in our faith as long as our focus is on Him and not ourselves. Yes, we will be down at times but the strong christian man will revive quickly and step back on that solid rock that has held him up all along. Glory to God!!! 

2 Corinthians 12:9

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 

Matthew 6:28

“And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:” 

As we can see in the Holy scriptures, God will take care of us in His way. It might be that He allows some of us to be in great persecution and even get tortured for our faith in Him but that is up to God and no matter what if we are faithful til the end we shall be saved. 

Matthew 24:13

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” 

I hope this encourages all you true saints striving to serve our Lord and that those who are not that they fear God's judgement and repent before it's too late.

May God be praised!!!
