Being Positive In Negative Times

 Romans 15:13

The text passage above shows that we can have joy, peace, and overflow with hope as we trust God.

God does this work in us irrespective of how negative things may look and be in the world.

Jesus had a positive mindset of possibilities.

When He saw the blind, He knew they could see again.

John 9:1-11

When He saw a lunatic He knew the lunatic could be restored in his mental health.

Mark 5:1-19

When He came across the dead, He was positive enough to believe the dead is asleep.

Luke 8: 51-52

When He encountered demons He knew they could be cast out.

Luke 8:1,2

In negative situations, Jesus was positive in His view and outlook.

Negativity and darkness never overcame Him.

John 1:5

That's how we should be and live.

The darkness of this world should not overcome us.

Negative and dark times may be upon the world and may continue for a season, in the midst of it all we can be positive in God.

Romans 5:1,11

As light is the answer to darkness, being positive in God is an answer to the negativity on earth.

It is this kind of positive lifestyle we live through God that should give us opportunities to tell those who inquire about the hope within us.

Jesus Christ gives us that hope, He is the living hope Himself. He is our living hope.

1 Peter 1:3

In the midst of turmoil, you can remain joyful and positive minded.

1 Peter 1:6-8

We can be positive in what is becoming a negative world because:

1) We have been filled with God's Spirit.

Romans 5:5

2) We have been granted faith, the faith of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 2:16

3) We follow Christ and have the light of life!

John 8:12

4) We are light in a dark world.

Matthew 5:14-16

5) Grace has been granted to us.

Romans 6:14

6) Strength has been given to us.

Ephesians 6:10

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. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. 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. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
