THE POWER OF STRENGTH

STRENGTH

S is for surrender to the Lord
T is for testimony, given in the spirit of the Word
R is for righteousness
E is for enthusiasm, being filled with God's spirit
N is for never...never giving up
G is for the goodness of the Divine
T is for Truth, the Revelation
H is for Heaven, the stronghold of the Lord.

Each day in my personal life, the Lord gives me STRENGTH to get through.

See what understanding of the power of STRENGTH, you get from the Bible passage:

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
(Psalm 18:1)

VICTORY

V is for your VOICE: Use yours, and speak to God. He can hear you when you call Him.

I is for I, myself…me: I am the one praying to the Lord.

C is for CHRIST: The One who is beside you when you pray…and always.

T is for TESTIMONY: Tell everything to God.

O is for OBEDIENCE: Obeying the Lord’s commandments brings you closer to God.

R is for RIGHTEOUSNESS: What we must strive for at every moment.

Y is for YES: The Lord will answer “Yes" to your prayers, if that is His will.

These are the steps I use when I need an answer and help from God. Therefore, I suggest you try my method when things are not going well to get an answer from the Lord.


“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Corinthians 15:57 (KJV)

STAY CONNECTED TO THE LORD: READ JUANITA BYNUM

If you are going through any difficulties in life, I recommend to all Jesus Storm faithful readers first, pray, and then ask God to guide you. Next, I recommend that in order to stay connected to God, read Juanita Bynum.

For example, I remember when one of my clients was giving me a really hard time. This person said something to hurt my feelings, and they were words that degraded me. So, I turned to p. 81 of Juanita Bynum’s book, The Threshing Floor:

“Say this right now: I am girded about with truth. I don‘t care what lies the devil may speak. I know the truth. I don‘t care what the devil tries to tell me about myself. I know the truth. I don‘t care how many times I make a mistake. I know the truth. I know that my mistakes are training me in righteousness. I may make some mistakes, but truth is going to straighten me out. I may bump my head sometimes, but I‘m coming out because I‘m girded with the truth.”

After reading the passage, the Lord spoke to me: “Let not the devil trick you with words. No one can harm you. I am always here.”. I felt so peaceful knowing that the Lord was with me at that time. Her book really helped me, and I plan to read more titles, and I hope you decide to join me.
