The Enemy is Destined to Fail
Jesus already conquered everything. What he did on the cross is a powerful weapon that we can use against the enemy. Remember that the blood of Jesus can wash away the sins and strongholds in your life. So get up and don’t allow the negative voices that you hear to consume your thoughts. Remember that the enemy is destined to fail simply because Jesus won the victory 200 years ago. The evil things that happen in your life can never destroy you as long as you treat Jesus as your Savior. Claim His victory in your life, and you will never be shaken. Do not treat the negative things around…

The Voices of the crowd Don’t always Represent the Voice of God
But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered. “What shall I do, then, with Jesus, who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!” “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead, an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is…

Jesus went through Suffering Alone
And His disciples all left Him and fled. Mark 14:50, NASB When Jesus was arrested, His disciples fled and left Him all alone. This happened before He was crucified. He went to the trial courts, was mocked by people, and was nailed on the cross without His disciples. He suffered and felt all sorts of pain, emotionally and physically. Jesus experienced everything. That’s why, when you feel so alone in the most heartbreaking season of your life, just come to Jesus because He understands you. He’s been there, and He knows what you truly feel. He sees your wounded heart, and He knows how to heal you. Just humble yourself…

Running away is not the best solution in Dealing with your Sins
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Psalms 51:1-2 This was the cry of David when he committed adultery with Bathsheba. Instead of running away from God, he humbly asked for His mercy and compassion. He asked God to wash his sins away. He acknowledged that he did something wrong, but he never allowed his guilt to hinder him from connecting to His heart. He chose to stay in His presence despite the disappointment and frustrations that he felt. David is said to be the “man…

You will Experience Complete Restoration in the arms of Jesus
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my…

Jesus followed the will of the Father and not His Emotions
Going a little farther, He fell with His face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 Jesus also went through suffering. When He was still here on earth, our Heavenly Father already told Him that He would be crucified on the cross for the sake of the world. And just like any human being, Jesus also felt sad. That’s why He pleaded with God to take away the cup from Him – the cup that carries the sins of the world. At this time, He was so troubled.…

Jesus saw the worst in Me, But Still, He chose to Stay
I am not perfect. There are moments when I tend to blame Him for everything that happened in my life. I wrongly accused Him of all the bad things that I experienced. I doubted His love, and there are times when I let go of His hands and make decisions on my own. But despite everything that I did, Jesus still remained the same. He saw the worst in me, but He never condemned me or made me feel unworthy. He chose to stay with me even in moments when I couldn’t love Him back. He showed me how wide and deep His love is, even if I feel scared.…
