More than 21 years ago, God said something to me that will mark my ministry forever. It was this: The only hope that any man has anywhere in the world is faith in Jesus Christ. In light of what's happening around us today, the truth of that statement is more painfully obvious than ever before. We are a generation with diseases no man can heal, with problems no man can solve. What fleeting successes we have are quickly overshadowed by new and greater crises. All too often, that's as true for believers as it is for unbelievers. It shouldn't be. But it is. Believers are being killed by the same diseases that are devastating the rest of the world. They're being plagued by the same problems. And many are walking around without hope—just like the rest of the world. Why? Because the only hope that any man has is faith in Jesus Christ. And the majority of Christians don't know how to live by faith. Instead of being filled with the Word and with faith, they've been stuffed full of religious tradition and superstition. And they're suffering. When the devil hits them with sickness and disease, with poverty or depression or divorce, they often stand by helplessly as it destroys them. They simply don't know what else to do. The Bible says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..." (Hosea 4:6). But you know. Your hope is in Jesus. Trust Him. And tell the world—their hope is in Him too. |
Your so, so right Bro. Ashcraft.
ReplyDeleteOne can get overwhelmed by things one endures at times & lose focus of God's WORD & PROMISE.
An I can't lie, I myself have found myself, lose focus at times, but then my LORD JESUS CHRIST with HIS unconditional LOVE reminds, "I AM HIS!"
An that HE is with me & will NOT LEAVE ME & will see me thru every storm & trial, that I may face.
An let's me know, that HE remains, in CONTROL & at the WHEEL.
So 2 this WORLD, all I can say is, u can have all this world, "JUST GIVE ME JESUS!"
Sincerely, Monica
