The first one of the “Everlastings” that I want to discuss is:
Strength thru our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST: PRAISE THE LORD!!! How many times in life, has HE in HIS mercy, extended that strength to help us bear the burdens of this life….. In my life, too many to tell, thru death, sickness, divorce and many others that I can’t even begin to count….. PRAISE HIS NAME!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!
Some things about the HIS Strength:
- HE is the source of all strength: I Chronicles 29:12 (KJV) 12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
- HE is the strength of our heart,….. Psalm 73:26 (KJV) 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. and HE will ‘strengthen (renew) thine heart” when you wait on HIM. Do you ever have times that you just want to quit? I know I do. When you have those feeling just learn to “wait”. HE IS FAITHFUL!!!….. Psalm 27:14 (KJV) 14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
- HE makes our ways perfect: II Samuel 22:33 (KJV) 33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
- Protects in battle, look at this verse. This happened in David’s war days…. Imagine how well HE will take care of you in the battles of life….. : II Samuel 22:30 (KJV) 30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
- HE is the strength of our life: Psalm 27:1 (KJV) 27 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
- HELP in trouble: Psalm 46:1 (KJV) 46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
- In spiritual warfare, in going to church, to hear the word preached….. I know in my life, hearing a good spirit-filled, hard-nosed, preacher helps me more than anything: Psalm 20:2 (KJV) 2 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
- HIS Strength is made perfect in our weakness: II Corinthians 12:9 (KJV) 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. II Timothy 4:17 (KJV) 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
-
We can do all things thru HIS strength. Nothing in HIS will is impossible. HE IS ON OUR SIDE!!!….. Philippians 4:13 (KJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
