When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me. (Psalm 56:9)

Faith is given to us so that we can overcome the adversities that rise up against us. Therefore, brethren, it does not matter what kind of problem you are going through because faith – which is the assurance that comes to our hearts through the Word of God – is all you need to fight and achieve victory.

You are special and your name is written in Heaven! Now you need to find out the rights that were granted to you in Christ, which are recorded in the eternal Word of God, because once you start exercising them they will provide you with everything you need to accomplish your mission.

Pay heed to this fact: according to what Jesus taught in the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), whoever receives something from God has the responsibility to use it and return to Him multiplied. As there will never be changes in any of God’s laws, the revelation that the Master gave back then should be taken seriously until the present day.

The delay in using the divine power is a snare. So my brother, you don’t have to wait for the so-called "Lord\’s time," after all, the time for God to fully act in your midst and in your favor began when Christ died and rose from the dead. From the moment He sent His Spirit upon the 120 in Jerusalem (Acts 1:15), His day of action came into operation. Now it\’s your turn to do something.

Salvation is not a theological joke, but the most vivid reality of all time. So do not let the enemy make advances against your life and cause you to lose it. Make him beat a retreat because defeat is not for those who are of God. Satan cannot obtain any victory over the Lord\’s work nor over His children.

Most assuredly, the enemy must retreat but every time you are off guard and do not use the divine power that has been given to you, then the agents of hell will come closer to you. On the other hand, if you rise up in the name of the Lord and use your prerogatives, they all flee from your presence. Come on! Be strong, fearless, and make your statement of faith, because the power of the Most High is awaiting this order to operate. This certainty must pervade your soul for the Almighty does not answer the cowardly that, by the way, will be hurt by the second death.

Our days are like those of Elijah, David, Abraham and many others who served God and did not let the enemy put them to shame. That’s why they are called heroes of faith. Do you want people to call you a hero of faith or of failure? Do not want the latter title haunting your life!

The Lord will not be with you if you are living in sin. You can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13) – even beat a mob of angry hooligans. In fact, the good name of the Lord is yours and can be used against all evil forces because they will obey you. So, my friend, do all things for the glory of God and He will reward you based on the victory you achieved not on your defeat.

In Christ with love,
