Be
Strong And Brave.
Don't
Be Afraid …
There
Is A Greater Power With Us Than With Him.
Scripture
2
Chronicles 32
7
“Be
strong and brave. Don’t be afraid or worried because of the king of
Assyria or his large army. There is a greater power with us than with
him.
8
He only has men, but we have the Lord our
God to help us and to fight our battles.” The people were
encouraged by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
James
5
14
Anyone who is sick should call the church’s elders. They should
pray for and pour oil on the person in the name of the Lord. 15 And
the prayer that is said with faith will make the sick person well;
the Lord will heal that person. And if the person has sinned, the
sins will be forgiven.
16
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can
heal you.
When
a believing person prays, great things happen.
Observation
King
Hezekiah didn't have to fight against his enemy. God sent an angel
and the angel killed 185,000 enemy soldiers in one night!
Have
you ever been intimidated by someone who was not a follower of Jesus
Christ? I have!
Here
is what you and I need to remember the next time an ungodly person
comes against us … “There
is a greater power with us than with him.”
1
John 4:4
You
are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because
the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
Romans
8:11
11
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.
James
5
Therefore
confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you
may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and
effective.
Application
When
I am intimidated by the ungodly I will remember that the really
Powerful One resides in me. His name is Jesus! How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, it is easy to be afraid of some people. They are
intimidating. Help me to remember that greater is He in me than he
that is in the world. Open the eyes of the ungodly so that they can
see Jesus and so that they can be transformed. Help me to be more
concerned about their spiritual condition rather than being
intimidated and afraid of them. Your Holy Spirit, the same Spirit
that raised Jesus from the dead, lives in me. You have my back!
