Finding Strength In Jehovah God Through His Son Jesus Christ

It’s now been over two thousand years since Jesus Christ walked the roads from Galilee to Jerusalem and from Nazareth to Bethany and many other points between and beyond. He was driven to get the word out that He had been sent into the world by His Father (Yahweh/Jehovah God) to deliver the people from bondage (satanic enslavement) and to show them the way unto salvation and the kingdom of God (Isaiah 61:1-2).

Today the word of God (Jehovah) still resonates around the world from Canada to Costa Rica; from China to the United States and everywhere else the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached throughout the earth and its message is the same as it was over two thousand years ago: “Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand” (Matthew 4:17),” …and receive salvation” (Luke 1: 77). Jesus Christ disciples have been instructed by Him to preach the gospel around the world and set free the captives who are held in bondage by Satan the devil (Matthew 28: 18-20).

Wars, killings, murders, suicide, hatred, intolerance, selfishness, chaos, sickness and disease permeates the fiber of practically every society on earth. Each day is filled with the news of more violence and suffering around the world. Peace is no where to be found as nations prepare for the inevitability of war and all the inhumanity that goes along with it. And within communities small wars take place that are no less deadlier and add to the misery and suffering of living in the world today.

Families are torn apart from bitter infighting that leave open psychological wounds festering and deeply infected. Parents against children, children against parents; households have become a dynamite keg—these are difficult times we are living in (2 Timothy 3:1-4). Jesus told his disciples to watch and beware of troubling times that are destine to come upon the earth. This is an indication that the end is not far away (Matthew 24:4-35).

But it is also an indication that Jesus triumphant return is near as well. This is the great showdown that all God’s people have been eagerly awaiting and excited to see (1Thessalonians 4: 13-18). At last Satan and his demons along with all the people that followed them will be punished for the evil they have committed (Revelation 20:1-3; 7-10). Hallelujah!

Jesus Christ is the only answer for today’s problems that continue to bring about man’s demise. Just as Jesus went about doing good when He walked the earth; today, from heaven, He is no less effective. Jesus still heals! He can and is ready to heal a broken and disillusioned world that’s spiraling downward—without any real hope. But it doesn’t have to be that way, Jesus said that He had come that we might have life more abundantly (John 10:9).

Jehovah God, our great creator never intended that man live such an awful existence filled with fear, anxiety, and the ever present threat of death. We were created to live to eternity and that’s exactly what He wants for us today. Through sin death entered the world but not only did death enter into the world, misery and every other horrible thing did as well.

Until Christ return there will never be real lasting peace and true prosperity for the world; however, if we neglect so great a salvation as Jesus Christ you will not be allowed to enter into His rest (Matthew 11:28).

Now that the day is well spent (as the world winds down to its conclusion) and the night is about to arrive why not discontinue the path that you are on that leads to everlasting destruction instead of everlasting life? Jehovah God, the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ sent His only begotten Son into the world not to condemn it, but to show us the way unto salvation ( John 14:6).

Jesus is the way that leads all men to salvation; deliverance from evil and into a loving relationship with God Almighty (John 14:6). Through Jesus Christ mankind can once again have a loving and personal relationship with our heavenly Father.

Although it’s true we are living in a world that Satan controls to a large degree and his influence runs even deeper when you think about the control he has over the small children but make no mistake about it Jehovah God will have the final word!

From the moment a child is conceived Satan launches an all out assault to destroy the child one way or another. Whether its through abortion, child abuse, adolescence peer pressure to consume alcohol, drugs, illicit sex, or violence; Satan’s efforts to destroy our youth is truly frightening and we’re no match to go up against demonic spirits that are part of a well organized kingdom (darkness) that hates Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and all of mankind simply because we are made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26).

Yes it’s true, Satan and his demons are far superior to mankind in every way; though we are clearly outmatched we have no reason to worry because they are totally inferior to our great and powerful God Jehovah and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

They have no power over and above our God Jehovah (James 2: 19) and Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, that is why we need to be under the precious blood of the lamb—demons fear and tremble before the name Jesus Christ (Mark 5:1-13). We have the power through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to rebuke Satan and his evil kingdom in the name of Jesus Christ (Luke 9:1,2).

But be ever mindful of this very important point, in order to overcome the powers of darkness and rebuke them in Jesus name you must be grounded and rooted in Christ Jesus! Jesus said, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman (gardener). Every branch in me that beareth no fruit, He purgeth, that it may bring forth more fruit” (John 15:1-2). In other words you must not only remain in Christ, but you must bear fruit as well.

Bearing fruit is doing the works that Jesus told us to do: keeping the commandments, statues, and precepts; having faith, trusting God to provide for your every need; giving a witness and testimony what Christ has done for you and preaching/teaching the gospel (Mark 5:18-19). It is imperative that we avoid willfully sinning against God through rebelliousness and everything else that is in direct violation of the word of God.

As Christians we must avoid attacking each other; giving room for the devil to come in and dwell within us. We must pray and support one another in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. As stated in the scriptures above, we must remain in Christ; our strength and power resides in Jesus, He is our rock and secure foundation that we can stand on and never worry.

That’s why Jehovah God could say, ” This is my Son whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him” (Matthew 17:5). Jesus is the rock that His church was built on and the gates of hell will never prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). We must further understand that Jesus’ “Church” is not brick and mortar but the church consists of individuals that have received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and have repented of all their sins ( Romans 10:9).

The church are those that pick up their cross and follow Jesus; the church of Christ consist of the true disciples of Christ that does His will. Satan may come up against us but He has no power over us. Jesus gave us the victory when He was crucified on the cross: the righteous for the unrighteousness(1Corithians 15:57).

Living in a world that is under the rulership of Satan the devil is often violent, chaotic, and down right mean spirited. Suffering and death fill the air, while peace and goodwill is suppressed and disencouraged; deadly uprisings and dreaded diseases of pandemic proportions spread around the globe at an alarming speed.

It’s no wonder so many turn to self destructive habits in an effort to numb their senses to the pain and sorrow that surrounds them. It’s almost understandable to see how so many have actually given up all hope and have completely surrendered to the forces of darkness.

But Jesus is the king of kings; lord of lords, and Saviour of the whole world. Remember, you don’t have to surrender to evil and you don’t have to cower under demonic attacks; the name Jesus is a mighty name filled with power and you can rest in His love without fear of the enemy (Mark 5:1-15).

The name of Jesus is able to break down strongholds; kingdoms, principalities, wickedness in high and low places—you don’t have to worry; fear is of the devil, so stand on the true rock, Jesus Christ, that God sent into the world to save the world from their sins (Matthew 16:18).

In conclusion, allow me to end on this note; Jesus Christ , the Son of God, came into the world to save sinners (1Timothy 1:15) and this was done because of the love that Jehovah (Yahweh) God Almighty and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ have for us. They will never, ever, forsake or abandon us in our time of trouble and tribulations. Their love for us has no bounds and it can never be quantified in any way, shape or form.

Even in death they will be with us and stand by us because we belong to them; if in fact we do. We should shout for joy knowing that there is no greater power or force in existent that is remotely comparable to the power of Jehovah God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

If you have not known Jesus and He’s not your Lord and Saviour, please take this time to receive Him into your heart right now. Jesus is a kind and loving Saviour that will never let you down and He will never fail you—it doesn’t matter what the problem is. He is not limited like men are who may or may not be able to help you when you really need help, but Jesus can help you and will help you if you put your faith and trust in him and there is no problem He can’t solve.

Sincerely approach the throne of grace and ask the Father to forgive you of all your sins and transgressions that you have sinned against Him in Jesus name. Honestly ask His Son (Jesus Christ) to become your Lord and Saviour. Believe in your heart and never doubt that Jesus lives inside of you (Romans 10:9). Study your bible and pray without ceasing asking God for the indwelling of the ‘Holy Spirit’, in Jesus name, to help you live a clean and holy life before God and man.

May the great God Jehovah, creator of heaven and earth, and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, keep you until we meet again. Amen and amen.
