I'm In Adversity

Many times As believers we find ourselves in adversity, and as a Christian adversity and problems will arise in a believers life. And there may be someone under the sound of my voice right that is going through some adversity. You are facing some problems. Things are looking real cloudy in your life right now. It may seem like you are stuck in between a rock and a hard place ready to give in. And this may be what you are facing right now but we must learn to remain calm in the midst of it. The reason we must stay calm is because adversity will have us all out of Wack. Adversity will make us act out and be all over the place and this is what has happened to a-lot of believers in the church. The Adversary which is the enemy has caused us in the midst of adversity to act out in ways that believers should not be acting. And I just need a few people that can testify that on this journey of being a Christian there has been times where the adversary, has caused us to act out while in the midst of adversity. Yup I talked about them. Yupp I did the deed. Yup I showed out. But I thank God that even when I showed out he was gracious and didn’t wipe me out.

However church family there is a remedy you can use while in adversity. It’s here in the 16 chapter of John where we will pull our points out from.

The bible says in the NKJV clause A of 33

The text says that In me you will have Peace

That brings me to my first point that In Adversity you have to keep your Peace.

Brothers and sisters I’m sure you there has been times in your life where you have been in adversity you may be in it right now but the text reminds us that in Jesus we have Peace.

Believers should understand that no matter what comes up I can have peace in my situation because I have Jesus.

Too many believers are stressing in the midst of things but the bible tells us that we have peace in Jesus.

The bible tells us that Though will keep in perfect peace if you keep your mind on him. In adversity we must remember that we still have peace.

I know its crazy in your life and you are going through but keep your peace.

The text goes on to say that in the world you will face tribulation but be of good cheer

This brings me to my second point in Adversity you must Keep Your Praise.

The text tells us that we will face tribulation no one is exempt from trouble and tribulation. Trouble knows all of our addresses but we must realize that yes trouble will come but we have a way we can react to trouble and a way to make it through in adversity and the way we get through it is to keep your praise.

Keep your praise in Everything because without your praise you are powerless. Your Praise can confuse your current situation. Praise will confuse the enemy.

Just look at somebody and tell them don’t stop praising. I know its ugly but don’t lose your praise.

Is there anybody here that can say like David and say

I will Bless the Lord at All times and His Praises shall continually be in my Mouth

I won’t stop praising him

I can’t stop praising him

I’ll Praise him in the morning

I’ll Praise him in the noonday

I’ll praise him at night

I’ll Praise him when i’m broke and I’ll praise him when I have money in my pocket

I’ll praise him when i’m up and I’m down

As long as i’m Breathing I will Praise him.

I’ll Praise him With my voice

I’ll Praise Him with my hands

I’ll Praise him with Dance

No matter what Happens I Will Praise the Lord

I Think We ought to just Pause For the Cause and Take a Praise Break

For the bible says let Everything that Has breathe Praise the Lord

Lastly as i come to a close the text gives us a reason on why we should keep our peace and our praise.

The Bible Declares in the text that I have overcome the world.

This brings me to my last point and I’m out of here

We must Keep our Peace Keep our Praise and Keep a hold to the promises that Jesus has said.

Jesus Tells us before he even dies in the book of john that he has overcame the world. So yes Adversity may come but we know we can make it out because of what Jesus has told us and he told us he overcame the World so yes i May be in adversity now but I know I can make it out because God Will never leave me nor will he forsake me. Not only that but We serve an Undefeated God and If I’m on his team I Can’t lose.

So I thank God For the promises he made and I can Hold on to them because My God is not a man that he should lie nor the son of man that he should repent if he said it he is going to do it.

He promised me that he will be friend that sticks closer than a brother

He Promised me that I will be the head and not the tail.

I know I’m going to have adversity but the book of promises tells me that for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed

His book of prom tell me count it all joy when you fall into divers temptation knowing that the trying of your faith is working patience

His book of promises tells me and we know that all things work together for them who love the lord and are called according to his purpose

His book of promises tells me that I once was young but now I’m old and I’ve never seen the right forsaken nor his seed beg for bread.

his book of promises tells me that weeping may end for a night but joy is coming

ALL IM TRYING TO SAY IS TROUBLE DONT LAST ALWAYS……
