Not just survivors but more than Conquerors through Christ Jesus

Good morning dearly beloved

Look at those words in the title my friends and lay hands on yourself, personalize those words and confess them as often as you can.

Now two things I want to remind you of today is:

One - God knew we would walk through experiences on this earth, that would make us feel absolutely crushed, deflated and devastated. Some experiences are quick, traumatic and shocking and others may be a period of grieving as we go through a divorce, seperation, death of a loved one, loss of a job and so much more. God assures us for every situation we walk through we can have more than enough grace, peace and strength.

How do we tap into this unexplainable peace, grace and strength?

This leads into my next point 👉 for today. Our attitude while we walk through circumstances is of utmost importance. If we groan, complain or lament through every experience, storm and trial it could delay our breakthrough. Grieving in God is quite different from a "woe" is me attitude.

I think we all will feel a bit like that momentarily but do not give way or give over to that emotion. Rely on God for strength. We cannot trust in our own strength just surrender.

I must ask you now though, are you aligned and centred in God's will? The key is no matter what you walk through even while shedding tears, experiencing hurt and pain one can have the peace of God as we are pouring out our heart TO GOD through those experiences.

We are surrendered and abiding and that's what makes the difference.

If we ask God to strengthen us, give us grace and peace as we walk through, he will give it to us. While in the storm Jesus slept - a state of rest, we can do the same too.

Prophetically I heard the Lord say some of you are taking too long to "shift gears".

When driving a car if we do not shift into the right gear at the right time the car will not gain speed and can even stall (stop moving). Move out of your position now of grovelling and complaining now. Perhaps God is trying to build strength in you and teach you something or download a greater level of the anointing upon you, but you have "stalled" because your focus is on the problem and not on God.

When you are in this position dear friends you will not receive your miracle because you have moved from your position of faith.

If you were totally confident and trusted God you would rejoice right here and now. You would rejoice always.

If you live from the perspective of eternity, this would be your daily confession " I will not stay in this place of lamenting and regret, I know that somehow God will work it out for he is working all things out for my good and his glory. Amen.

The Apostle Paul knew about suffering (great suffering) but yet he wrote these words that will speak to all nations and generations. May they order your footsteps today and always.

1 Thessalonians 5:16/17

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you

Amen

Move from just survival mode into more than a Conqueror mode through Christ Jesus.

Amen

Walk good in Christ

Till we meet again
