We Shall Overcome

We are overcomers. God has already changed our direction. When God saved you, He made you a new person. Not only does He put us in Christ, He also put Christ in us. The result is a changed attitude, a willingness to change our actions, and a transformed view of the world that must conform to God's plan for our lives. Because Christ has been placed inside of us, He lets us know when we are in the will of God.

God gives us the power we need to do what He wants us to do. If you aren't saved, just ask Him right now to come into your heart and save you. Seek God and have faith. Pray and God, in His mercy, will save you and give you the power and strength to overcome any problems you may encounter in the future.

If you are already saved, you have already been accepted by God. The way He sees us is very important which is why the blood of Jesus is required. Don't worry about the things that you gave over to the Lord. Change the direction of your thoughts. When we are anxious, it's easy to make mistakes. Allow God to work out His will in your life (Phillipians 4 v. 14-18).

Since God has accepted you, you don't need to waste all that time seeking the approval of others. Most people won't approve of what God has planned for your life anyway. So if you need advice, seek out good Christian counsel as opposed to secular counselors who will most likely lead you astray. In order to take the right course of action, pray to God for wisdom. The Lord never makes a mistake. Follow the direction of Christ who lives in your heart. You will never get too old because God keeps you refreshed and makes everything new for His children to enjoy each morning. Learn something new as often as you can. Volunteer if you have some spare time. Move forward with a strong, active faith. Only God can eliminate the prejudices, though He gives us enough intuition to recognize them. Although we don't know what our future will hold, our Lord can see it all. He knows our joys and our fears, so rest assured it is His good will to guard you and lead your feet onto a safe path.

Therefore, don't be dismayed when life's problems come your way. Draw near to God and He'll chase the clouds away. God has our eternal good in mind. When we pray and ask for something and He says no, rest assured He has our eternal welfare in mind and His blessings are endless.
