Grace, joy, and peace from the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be multiplied unto you.
My brethren, you are of God and have overcome them, for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). No matter what the enemy tries to throw across your path, you have already overcome, for in Christ, you are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).
The Apostle Peter said, "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 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" (1 Peter 4:12–13). And according to James, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials" (James 1:2).
Count it all joy, brethren, for great is the Lord's faithfulness. The Lord never promised a Christian walk without trials. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3:12). But be encouraged by the amazing statement from the lips of the Lord Jesus in John 16:33: "Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Yes, we can be of good cheer in the midst of trials, for if it were impossible to rejoice in the midst of trials and persecutions, the Lord would have said otherwise. But He said, "Be of good cheer," and through brother James, He said, "Count it all joy."
Although we cannot stop the enemy from sending thoughts of worry, fear, and doubt, we can stop him from successfully projecting them into our minds. For it is written, "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). And according to 2 Corinthians 10:5, we can cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Sometimes, it may not appear to be an easy thing to cast down these thoughts of worry, fear, and doubt, but we can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth us (Philippians 4:13). Glory to God! We have been crucified with Christ: nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ lives in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us, and gave Himself for us (Galatians 2:20). Rest in the Lord of Glory, for we which have believed do enter into rest (Hebrews 4:3).
Brothers and sisters, do not let the trials stop you. Do not let the persecutions hinder you. Keep moving from glory to glory, and keep shining by the Power of the Holy Spirit. For it is written, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16). Keep walking in the light, even as He is in the light. Let sorrow be turned into joy. Let restlessness and confusion be turned into peace, for the Prince of Peace lives in you. Let your soul bless the Lord, and all that is within you bless His Holy Name (Psalm 103). The Lord is God.
Let the love of Christ continue to reign in your hearts. Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer (Romans 12:12).
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen (Jude 1:24–25).
The Lord Jesus Christ loves you with an everlasting love.
Amen.
