“Tragedy comes in so many ways at times in all of our lives..and sometimes that tragedy can literally take you out..it changes you and the person in whom you are..Amen..and sometimes we think well when we give our lives to Jesus that all of this tragedy will not come our way..Amen..or the pain won’t come..or the enemy won’t fight us..Amen..but you know I can look all through the bible from the beginning of Genesis all the way to the end to Revelation..and every book of the bible has some form of tragedy that happens..something very devasting to some of the most devoted people to the Lord..Amen..I mean prison..temptations..sickness..death..storms..you name it..and it has happened in the bible..in God’s word..Amen..and the Lord gave us this to let us know that in this life we do have troubles and trials and many tribulations..Amen..but He tells us to be of good cheer because He has overcome the world..John 16:33..Amen..but I just came this morning to says this..that even in the storm of life that God is with us..Amen..even when the enemy comes in like a flood the Lord promises to raise up a standard against him..Isaiah 59:19..Amen..for the Lord fights for us..He covers us in the midst of it all..for He tells us even in the valley He is there..Psalm 23:4..Amen..for He gives His angels charge over us..Psalms 91:11-12..Amen..and we are in His hands always..Isaiah 41:13..Amen!”

“And we may wonder why?..why the problems?..why the heartaches?..why the battles?..well, because we are still in these mortal bodies..and we are still living in a fallen world..and the enemy is as well is in this world with his angels..for you see we gotta be strong in the Lord..and in the power of His might..and put on daily the whole armor of God..Ephesians 6:10-18..and we gotta know who the Lord is to us..Amen..and when we resist the enemy the word says he will flee from us..James 4:7..Amen..because we are not exempt from life..but we do have the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords on our side..even when we don’t feel Him..or think He is there..He is there..for He promises to never leave us nor ever forsake us..Hebrews 13:5..so be strong..be courageous..for the Lord is with you..the Lord will fight for you..and the Lord He has defeated the enemy of our souls..we may feel his presence from time to time..but remember he can do nothing to us..not ever..for he is a defeated foe..Praise the Lord..so rest in Jesus..and have faith always in Him..for He is there..and He loves you His child..so peace be still I say to us all..peace be still our souls..and trust in our Heavenly Father..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
