The world around us is constantly getting darker and darker. It feels as though the dreams and calls of the Church are getting harder and harder to reach, but is that what the LORD intended for His people? How can we overcome the obstacles in our way? How can we encourage ourselves in the LORD? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the strength we have in Christ Jesus in his message, Standing on the Promises of God.
Standing on the Promises of God
How to Encourage Yourself In The LORD
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29
5b …for He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we can confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”
Hebrews 13:5b-6
How to Overcome
The only way we can overcome the obstacles and trials of the world is if we stand on the promises of God. We have to quote the Scriptures to build up our spirits. Here are some encouraging Scriptures to remember and quote.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:5
4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:4-5
33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
