Winning In Difficult Times

 2 Timothy 3:1-5


You can win during difficult times.

You should win during difficult times.

You were not created to be a victim of life.

Your life is an opportunity and a blessing to you from God.

Life is not meant to be a tragedy or trap for anyone.

The life we have been given is a gift and gifts are meant to benefit the recipient.

God gave you your life so that you can enjoy certain certain benefits and glorify Him.

God has created us, His people to win,

Genesis 1:26,28

God wants us to win on this journey of life.

This life has it's difficult moments and seasons.

The latter times we are in are not easy times according to the scriptures,

They are difficult and tough times.

When we wrongly yield to the challenges of this phase of life we can become vulnerable to the enemy's devices.

According to the scriptures, difficult times are times we can shine brightest.

God's children are likened to stars, and stars shine brightest when it is dark.

Genesis 22:17

The end times/latter times can be referred to as dark times.

Darkness is overcome by light.

The darkness is an opportunity to prove God's light and shine God's light,

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer.

In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention.
