***ARE YOU 100% CERTAIN WHERE YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY? The fact is you will die one day. At that moment, you will either spend eternity with the Lord or be cast into everlasting darkness forever separated from God your creator. To know for certain you will be forever with Jesus, go to: http://www.liveprayer.com/bdy_salvatn.cfm
***COMING SOON! Why are the top evangelical leaders in the nation supporting Mitt Romney for President? What will it mean to the nation and to the cause of Christ to have a member of the Mormon CULT as the President? Don’t miss this important and critical message Friday!
***MY FRIEND, ONE OF THE THINGS I PRAY TO ACCOMPLISH EACH DAY IS TO ENCOURAGE YOU AND CHALLENGE YOU TO RISE ABOVE THE DAILY BATTLES OF LIFE AND BE ALL GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO BE. YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT WHEN YOU ARE WALKING IN VICTORY. LET ME GIVE YOU A WORD TODAY. IF YOU KNOW JESUS, DESPITE WHATEVER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE…YOU CAN LIVE IN VICTORY! MAY YOU OPEN YOUR HEART TODAY TO RECEIVE THIS POWERFUL TRUTH AND LIVE EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY IN VICTORY!!!
Living in victory or defeat , it is up to you!!! I want to give you a
word of encouragement today that you don’t have to live in defeat, but YOU
CAN LIVE IN VICTORY! Even more important, you have 100% control over
whether you live in victory or defeat! That is right. YOU, and nobody else
holds the key to whether you live in victory or defeat. This is a powerful,
life-changing word today so please open your heart and receive what God is
saying to you. You don’t need to go hear the latest motivational guru of
the day, or buy the latest books and tapes on being successful, just open
your heart and receive this powerful Truth that living in victory is up to
you and nobody else!
I know that many of you reading these words today are in a major crisis in
your life. You are facing what seems to be insurmountable odds in your
finances, in your health, in your marriage, on your job, with your children,
in battling an addiction, or whatever your situation may be today. As you
face these very real struggles, you see nothing but defeat. Of course,
nobody wants to live in defeat, everyone wants to live in victory. That is
only common sense. But you have done and are doing everything you can to
turn things around. However, your finances are no better, your marriage is
no better, your health is no better, your job is still a nightmare, your
children are still living in rebellion to God, you are still in some form of
bondage, you are not seeing any hope in whatever your battle may be. So you
have every right to question me when I state that living in defeat or
victory is up to you.
Here is the key to help you. Living in victory has nothing to do with the
day-to-day circumstances and challenges we face in our life. I know most of
you didn’t get that one, so let me say it again. Listen carefully. Living
in victory has NOTHING to do with the day-to-day circumstances and
challenges we face in our life. This is heavy so follow me. The fact is,
you will ALWAYS have trials and tribulations, challenges and battles to
fight throughout your entire life. That is simply part of living in this
sin-filled and evil world we do. NOBODY is immune from the trials and
tribulations of life. NOBODY. It is part of EVERYONE’S life. You can
still live in victory regardless of what your circumstances may be. You can
still live in victory regardless of what you are facing in your life today.
YOU CAN LIVE IN VICTORY TODAY BECAUSE OF JESUS!
Choosing to live in victory is the choice you make when you choose to follow
Jesus! Jesus won the victory on the cross 2000 years ago, and those who
choose to put their faith and trust in Him, invite Christ into their heart
and life by faith, live in His victory no matter what may be going on in
their lives. Remember that great old hymn, “Victory in Jesus?” It is true.
You see when you know Jesus, you understand that in this life you will have
trials and tribulations, that you will have tests along the way. But
because you know Jesus you have already won the victory. This world is not
your home, just a few short years of an eternal existence with Christ. No
matter what you may have to face and deal with in this life, it is but for a
season since your eternal home in Heaven is secure and waiting for you.
The problems of this life are nothing but hurdles. You can either let them
stop you, paralyze you, rob you of your peace and joy and abundance, or you
can find a way to get over them. There is no hurdle in your life today that
the Lord won’t help you overcome. If your hurdle is finances, Jesus will
help you overcome it. If your hurdle is a marital problem, Jesus will help
you overcome it. If your hurdle is a health issue, Jesus will help you
overcome it. If your hurdle is a problem at work, Jesus will help you
overcome it. If your hurdle is a problem with your children, Jesus will
help you overcome it. If your hurdle is an addiction of some sort, Jesus
will help you overcome it. No matter what your hurdle may be, JESUS WILL
HELP YOU OVERCOME IT!
That does not mean you will never have financial problems, or health issues,
or problems in your marriage, or an issue with your employment, or problems
with your children, or battle some sort of addiction, or face a whole host
of other problems. Just hours before going to the cross, Jesus told His
disciples that in this world they would have trials and tribulations. He
told them that so they wouldn’t be fooled into thinking that just because
they had chosen to follow Him they would live without any problems. That is
impossible since we are living in a fallen world that for the most part
operates in rebellion to God and His Truth. But Jesus encouraged them by
saying, “Be of good cheer for I have overcome this world!”
That is why today I can say to you, living in victory or defeat is up to
you. You can choose to live a life of defeat by rejecting Jesus Christ and
not only deal with the problems of this life, but live without the hope of
tomorrow. Your defeat is NOT in the problems of this life but in the fact
that when you die, you will live for all eternity apart from God your
Creator. By choosing to accept Christ as your Savior, you have a new
strength to face life’s problems, to overcome life’s problems, but most
important the hope of tomorrow in knowing that when your brief journey is
complete you will spend all eternity with God your Creator!!!
I love you and care about you so much. Living in victory has nothing to do
with the circumstances you are facing in your life today. There will always
be problems to deal with, always be hurdles. If you think back 10 years
ago, you had problems in your life. It was God who saw you through those
problems. If you think back 5 years ago, you had problems in your life. It
was God who saw you through those problems. If you think back 6 months ago,
you had problems in your life. It was God who saw you through those
problems. The fact is, there will always be problems living in this
sin-filled world that we do, but God is there to help you and see you
through whatever those problems may be!
Living a life of defeat or victory has nothing to do with the day-to-day
trials of life, but it has to do with your relationship with Jesus Christ!
You can choose to live a life of defeat by rejecting Him, or live a life of
victory by accepting Him into your heart and life by faith. I will be
praying for you today as you make the choice to live a life of VICTORY!
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
