being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy;
A God pleasing life is a spiritual life…

In the book of John. Chapter 13-16 reveals Jesus preparing his disciples for His departure.
He tells them twice in chapter 14
“Let not your hearts be troubled”
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
to be troubled v. — to be or become characterized by or indicative of distress or affliction or danger or need.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
In preparation of His departure
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
Satan is also called the "prince of the power of the air" in Ephesians 2:2. He is the "ruler of this world" in John 12:31.
In other words he is the ruler of domain of darkness
But… “He has no claim on me”
Throughout these three chapters we see Jesus using a certain phrase…
“I have said these things to you”
“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.
He spoke to accomplish a certain purpose…
Jesus was teaching His disciples about:
Abiding in Him
Keeping His commandments
Preparing them for persecution
Preparing them for the Helper “The Holy Spirit”
Jesus wanted them to have:
Joy
To love one another
to keep them from falling
Jesus told them…
Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.
When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
Jesus declared....
Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
He’s prepare them…
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.”
#1 God’s Word Produces Peace…
Peace: blessing of peace n. — a state of peace that is a blessing or favor from God.
harmony, tranquility
Peace: freedom from disturbance
Life can be very disturbing....
But peace is freedom from disturbance
#2 Trouble vs. Tribulation
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
Trouble: to be troubled v. — to be or become characterized by or indicative of distress or affliction or danger or need.
Trouble: cause great distress, disturb
Situations in life can cause my heart to be troubled…
I grew to this place of distress…
Distress: extreme anxiety, sorrow, or pain.
Trouble is something that I have allowed myself to become…
Tribulation: distress (state) n. — an oppressive state of physical, mental, social, or economic adversity.
Tribulation is something out of my control…
Jesus said “You will have Tribulation”
It is a part of this World… It’s what we will all experience
You are not by yourself!
#3 A Kingdom Perspective
“But”
You have to change your perspective about tribulation…
“Take Heart”
Take Heart: to be confident v. — to have or be marked by confidence or assurance.
“I have overcome the World”
I have...... It’s already done…
Overcome: to defeat v. — to win a victory over, as in a contest or military conflict.
How?
It was not on the cross / Or the death / or the Resurrection…
When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
Protevangelium -
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
Thus, the verse is commonly referred to as the first mention in the Bible of the "good news" of salvation.
The moment Jesus was born!!!! He overcame the world
Now walk with confidence!!!!
