The Overcomer







 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."  - St. John 16:33

 Dear Friends,

 Jesus speaks to His disciples in St. John 16 letting them know that they will be cast out of the very places that once welcomed them.  He speaks of them being cast out of the synagogues. Jesus speaks about His coming departure and the Comforter Who will be with them in His absence.  It can be said that this chapter is one of both preparation and encouragement.

 The words that Jesus speaks to us in verse 33 are so that we can have peace.  In the world  there is so much turmoil.  This turmoil and unrest exists in a world beset by sin. Sin results in  tribulation, great tribulation.  However, Jesus issues a reminder, a promise that we can rest on.  It is a promise that is meant to lift our heads and cheer our spirits.  

 In Christ we are over comers. This is true because our Savior has overcome the world and our life is hid in Him. He tells us that yes we will have tribulation but be of good cheer. He has overcome the world.

 Live life in this status of victory.  Victory in Jesus. We are not overcome by circumstances. Rather we OVER COME challenging circumstances, RISE ABOVE tribulation by the power of the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

 Through Christ -- The Overcomer we are empowered to overcome

 in Christ,

 Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
