Contending

Many people believe that now that Jesus has come that we should have peace, prosperity, and fruit. Little do they want to talk about the other things that Jesus said we would have as His disciples, suffering, lack and persecution. We have both instances in our lives in different seasons. As we tackle these times in our lives what is in our hearts and minds. As Christians we should see ourselves as kings and priest. We are over comers in Jesus Christ because of His death on the cross. We are now walking in His authority through the Power of the Holy Spirit to stand and contend. We should be full of joy all seasons of our lives. Why because of Jesus Christ. Job say with his friends and mourned in sack cloth and ash seeking God. I am not being critical of Job but the difference between him and us is we have Jesus Christ in our lives living in us. So as we may go through the same things as Job we can walk in joy. We can stand and contend to accomplish all the things that God has asked us to do. DO NOT GIVE UP CONTEND!!
