When Will The Losing Stop?

At times it seems like the devil is winning over us. It seems like he has the upper hand in various

Situations and circumstances we are going through. And we seem to be powerless and we can’t see

The end of the tunnel and are hopeless. We keep losing over and over again.

But we must not believe the lies the enemy is trying to make us believe because he has been defeated.

When Jesus rose from the dead He defeated the devil once and for all. He was victorious over him.

“Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and

True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war.”

Revelation 19:11

In this verse we see Jesus riding on the white horse and He is named Faithful and True.

I want to mention something about the white horse. The color white was associated with victory so

In the old days kings, captains and generals rode on white horses.

But in this verse we see Jesus the victorious King riding on a white horse.

And because of what Jesus did on the cross we too have victory. We can walk in the same victory He

Walks in.

“And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses.”

Revelation 19:14

Firstly we read of Jesus riding on a white horse and in verse fourteen we read that the army behind him

Were clothed in white and were riding white horses too. Jesus didn’t keep His victory to Himself.

His victory was passed on to the army behind Him. They walked in the same victory He had. 

Because of the victory Jesus obtained on the cross, we too have the same victory. Because He was

Victorious we too are victorious.

We don’t have to go on believing that loss is all we will ever know. We don’t have to believe that we

Have no chance against the enemy. We will be victorious over the enemy. We will win over the giants

Who seem to be winning over us today. Our portion is victory!

And we are reminded even more of this truth this weekend when we celebrate the death and

Resurrection of Jesus. This is a strong day for us. When Jesus died and was in the tomb, the devil

Thought he had won. He was having his own party BUT…

That was not the end of the story because Jesus rose from the dead and defeated the devil!

His grip over us was broken once and for all.

Jesus won it all for us. We were free! We ARE free because of what He did.

So as we remember and celebrate what He did for us this weekend, we can call on Him for help

against the enemy who seems to be winning now. That’s not the whole story.

Victory is our portion because of what Jesus did on the cross.

Happy Easter friends!

The Victory We Are A Part Of – An Easter Story!

Happy Easter to you all.

I hope you are having a great time celebrating the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is a strong day for us as Christians, a day of power for sure. I am so excited about this weekend because of what it represents. This is what makes the Gospel the Gospel if you know what I mean. If Jesus never died and rose again we wouldn’t be here and Christianity would be nullified. The power of our faith is based on the death and resurrection of Jesus. Paul speaks about this in 1 Corinthians 15:13 so I encourage you to go and read that passage of scripture.

But I want to focus on another story in this post.

“Then Jesus uttered another loud cry and breathed his last. And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.”

Mark 15:37

As we all know Jesus died on the cross. And for a brief moment the devil thought he had won. He thought he had victory over Jesus. And for a brief moment Jesus’ followers lost too. But that was not the end of the story…

“The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead!”

Luke 24:5, 6

Jesus rose from the dead! He conquered the devil. He won the war.

He was victorious and because of what he did we too have that same victory. And that’s why this weekend is so powerful, so important. There is a grace for us if we will only see. We need to ask the Lord for his help because he was victorious for us.

So if you are in a dark place today, and it seems like the enemy is too strong and the giants are too many I want you to know that there is victory available to you. The devil does not have the last say in your story. Jesus does! He has the last say and it is good and it is final. His Word cannot be overturned by the devil.

When the curtain in the temple tore into two, our access to God was now cleared of all obstacles, We could now go to him anytime. We now have a direct line of communication to the Creator of the Universe, to the Lord of Armies.

So as you can see, a lot of important things happened that day when Jesus rose from the dead and that is why this is such a strong day for you and me. As I come to the end of this post I want to encourage you to reflect on what Jesus did on the cross and how that affects your life. I read a definition of what it means to be a Christian that challenged me recently that goes,

A Christian is someone who believes in the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ and lives in light of the implications of that event

I love that and I am so challenged.

With that I have come to the end of the post.

Have a great and blessed weekend friends.

Bless you!

The day of power!

Happy Easter to you all. I hope you are having a great weekend celebrating the

death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

To be honest, I have not been seeking the Lord like I should. I should

be reading my bible more and praying more this weekend but I have

been slacking big time. It’s a fight to seek Him. But I make a decision  to seek Him,

to make this weekend count.

Tomorrow is Resurrection Sunday!

 

Easter is our day if you didn’t know. It’s a strong day for us. It’s not like every

other day of the year, it’s a day of significance for us and when I say “day” I am

talking about Easter as a whole. A strong day is a day you can declare things, make

decisions and so on. You can do that on normal days but there is a different

kind of power when you do those kind of things on strong days. Your birthday

for instance is a strong day, a great day to reflect and make changes right?

 

 

I was reflecting on a few things today.

I was thinking about the importance of Easter.

Jesus Christ died for us because He wanted

to have a relationship with us, He died so we could be set free from the enemy’s

strong grip. He died so He could bring us home. We were lost but because of what

He did we were found.

As I reflected on all these things I saw the ugly things in my life. I saw how I fail

Him on a daily basis and so on. But today is the day I can come to God and cry out

to Him.

 

I made a decision today. It stops here, with me! I don’t want my sins and the sins of my

parents and so on to carry over to the coming generations. I don’t want my kids to

struggle with what I struggle with. I don’t want them to fear what I fear. Who knows

what sins have been passed down generationally but the Lord knows?

On Easter, the day of power I ask the Lord to help me. It’s only by His grace I have

a chance. I shared this with you to show you what a strong day is and how important it is

and what you can be doing on it.

 

Use this Easter weekend to reflect and make some changes. This is our day, our strong day.

The enemy would like us to think it’s an ordinary day but it’s not. Far from it. It’s our day of power that

the Lord has appointed!! Make declarations, draw a line in the sand, stand, and whatever

else you think you should do because today is the day of power!

 

Jesus Christ died and rose again. He rendered the enemy’s power useless.

He defeated the enemy on this day of power.

All the enemy’s plans blew up in his face.

Make this Easter count. Allow Him to show you how because this is,

our day of power!

Have a very blessed Easter!
