Hello, Altered Stories Family,
Today, let me ask you a few questions. When everything happens around you, or to you, who are you?
When you are tempted to act in a way that is not befitting for a follower of Christ, who are you?
When pressured to sin or act in a way that God would not approve, what kind of a backbone do you have?
You see, when we come to faith in Christ, He gives us the strength to stand under the world’s pressure.
James 4:7 (NLT) says, “So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Satan runs away from us when we surrender to God.
In these days, we see many people who are weak minded. James (1:6-7) calls them double minded, lacking faith, and he further says that these people should not think they should receive anything from God.
We are called to be different, a peculiar people.
When we are tested, we are to have Christ’s character. I know this point is tough to follow in these days we live, but if we stand on His Word, we will be overcomers.
I could go on with the things we are called to do, including what God will do in and through us.
I encourage you dive into His Word and discover how you are to live. Ask God to give you the strength to live as Jesus calls you to live.
God bless,
Teresa
