Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Luke 12:22

There are many people who need to pay notice to the warnings of Jesus, for He did not declare that by chance, but He did so to warn us of a serious danger that surrounds us. Whoever does not consider what the Lord speaks, will certainly pay a high price. Those who let themselves be imprisoned by the concerns of life – how they will live – show that their heart does not trust the Most High, and because of that, they are giving room to the enemy in their life. 

When He created man, God gave him only once possibility regarding all things: trust, trust and trust in Him; otherwise, he will forever be oppressed by the wicked forces. The remedy to heal the ills caused by anxiety, for wanting to be, have or do something, is to always believe in the Lord. Only this way, will the person see God´s glory. Do this and live freely! 

Examine how you have lived. If you have not been following the eternal Word of the Lord, then you are under a great deal of attacks from the enemy. Unfortunately, because you don’t know the Scriptures, you consider these hellish arrows as something normal that happens to all people. However, this is not what God says. He assures us that He always leads us in triumph. The lack of success and the dominion of the concerns show who governs you. 

The heroes of the bible are examples of how the Most High wishes our life to be. David said that God forgave his sins, healed his diseases, redeemed his life from the pit and crowned him with love and compassion (Psalm 103:3,4). The Lord also filled his mouth with goods and renewed his youth. Besides, He acted righteously and brought justice to the oppressed. These are challenges we must achieve in order to glorify the Almighty. 

It does not matter which church you attend; if you haven’t been taught to believe in the Holy Scripture, then you will be constantly attacked and defeated by the wicked forces. The difference in the life of a Christian is noticed when they put into practice what they have learned from the Scriptures. David understood the faith in God, by saying that he would perish if he did not believe he would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13). 

If you don’t live in the real light, the enemy will constantly bully you. That is why many people give in to sin, live a difficult life and go through humiliations. There is only one way to live well: seek the revelation of the Word and believe in it. Go through life without reading the Bible and without crying out what it reveals to be yours will lead you to experience the horrors of Hell. Therefore, change your life at this very moment, be transformed by the renewing of you mind (Romans 12:2). 

In case you have converted to the Gospel – the Good News Jesus did in favor of mankind – then you have the potential to be victorious. If you still have not accepted the Son of God as your Savior, do so right now, for God is ready to save you. Those who surrender their life to the Lord are forever free, as long as they remain steadfast in their faith! What will you do? 

In Christ, with love,
