OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IT!

2 CHRONICLES 20:17
You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go not against them for the Lord will be with you.

The battle does belong to God.
We all have a position to take in the battle.
MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!
To set our selves to stand means to take up our position.
Our position has to be FAITH in the blood of the Lamb and God the Father in order to win.

But Lolita you don't know all that is coming against me.
I'm on the verge of complete destruction and I can't see how I will ever win this time.
How can I stand and man a position when I keep going in and out of the hospital?
How can I stand and man a position when my husband is out of work?
How can I stand and man a position when my child is sick?
How can I stand and man a position when I don't know how we will eat for the rest of the month?
How can I man up?

Because In Jesus you have already won, the trial is just an opportunity to work it!
To work what?
To work that faith!
That same faith that caused you to believe on the name of Jesus believing that God the Father raised Jesus up from the grave.

WHO HAS ALREADY SUFFERED DEATH FOR OUR MESS UPS, MISTAKES, BAD CHOICES AND WRONG DOING YET WAS RAISED AGAIN TO MAKE US RIGHT, COMPLETE, FREE AND VICTORIOUS!

So be patient and don't worry in this time.
Rejoice.
God's grace surrounds you and greater is He in you.
You will overcome whatever because Jesus already overcame everything.

Romans 5:1-4
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access (admission) by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience
4 And patience, experience: and experience hope...

Why does the Lord tell us to count it all joy when trials come?
Why does the Word teach us to rejoice in tribulation?
Rejoicing lets God know that we trust Him!

Because we have been redeemed by love.
And if we break down and moan when it gets tough where is our faith at?
It might look like all is lost yet we don't walk by sight.
How we are able to walk by faith?
THE LIVING WORD

Romans 5:8,9 (LOLITA'S VERSION)
8 But God demonstrated His love towards us by the mere fact that while we chose to be separated from God by choosing sin over righteousness, He sent the Anointed One to die for us.
9 Therefore, since we have been returned to right standing with God through the blood of Jesus Christ, through His living we are saved from everything else.

This is how you can celebrate in the midst of pandemics and economics because you know that a 1,000 may fall by your side, and 10,000 at your right hand; but it ain't coming near your house!

You can take your position and man your battle station because trial, tribulation and trouble is only an opportunity for you to work it!

Work your Faith.
Psalm 91
In Jesus Name.

Love
