CHANGE THE WAY YOU PRAISE !!!!! Praise The Lord Thy God for difficulties, trials, and persecutions, because without them you wouldn't know that He who is in you is stronger than he who is in the world. You are a Child of God, like a bullet proof vest who's worth is ONLY in how heavy of artillery it can withstand, so art thou oh child of God. He promises not to put you through more than your able to withstand, so be BOLD in The Lord and roar triumphantly, "if God is for me, who can stand against me". Nothing you face has the ability to steal from you the joy, and peace, and hope you have in Christ Jesus, if it is, your faith is obviously futile. Faith without works is dead. According to the book of James, you are equivalent to a dead body with no spirit. Christ accomplished what Adam could not.....a triumphant spirit that overcame the enemy. Now in Christ we have that spirit, if we truly believe. Dare the obstacles in your life that threatens you, to do their best, they cannot triumph over you, it's impossible unless your faith is lacking. You are being molded into the image of The conquering Christ through every thing your day entails that tries to steal your faith and love for God. The Lord your God only allows what you can be victorious over to slip through the hedge of His protection. We are not of this world, we are here to display the strength and might of an everlasting king. Do not let your imperfections define or discourage you, your sins are God's battles not your own. Leave them with Him and follow your commandment to run the race of faith. Do not try to do the Lords work and focus on where you fall short, His grace is sufficient, the faith you possess in Him will transform your heart, if you trust Him, enter His rest and just believe you are the amazing bullet proof child of God He says you are
