Our ability to live differently only possible by the strength of LORD Jesus Christ.
GOD may give some signals ahead of time regarding the tests and trials we will face but most of the time He does not let us know ahead of time. It is very important that we grow in our Christian life so whenever we face this trials we are ready for them. Mature Christians are richer in the understanding ways of GOD, they are stronger in their faith in the power of GOD and they are overwhelmed by the love of GOD. GOD is source of our strength.
2 Corinthians:8-11
8For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life:
9But we had the sentence of death in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead:
10Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11You also helping together by prayer for us that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
There are circumstances in life that requires strength beyond what we have humanly. Constant conflict circumstances that we get pushed to limits that we had to go beyond our strength.
Strength that we require is available in our LORD Jesus Christ. We should trust GOD walking through these difficult circumstances, human nature only goes so far. Divine supernatural strength express itself through us to overcome and triumph through these circumstances.
The source of our strength LORD Jesus Christ. When we accept the LORD Jesus Christ as our Saviour the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us. The same power and strength prevails as LORD Jesus is living in us. What we need already in us. GOD indwell in us therefore we can face every circumstances no matter what it is.
Ephesians 6:10
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
2 Timothy 2:1
1You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:13
13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
We only learn by get thrown into those impossible situations where we feel absolute pressure and inability to change our circumstances. We learn the lesson when our limits are exhausted. We can go beyond, the supernatural divine power given to every single believer. We learn it by getting thrown into it. You learn the adequacy and sufficiency, the supernatural divine power of Christ only when you experienced that. Our strength comes from LORD Jesus Christ. He is not going to strengthen us and empower us if it is not His will for us to do. Whatever GOD called you to do, if He placed you there He is going to enable you, strengthen you in every single thing GOD wants you to do.
The power of LORD Jesus Christ available for us to face every persecution and keep going in the power of LORD Jesus Christ. Rely on Him He will mature us and develop in us godly character.
