Advancing Encouragement By:

Psalms: 86:7: In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answers me.
Have you ever had an adversary, someone who does not like you or is trying to cause harm to you in any way? Adversity, have you ever experience obstacles that where hard to get around or go through? Affliction, does this seem foreign to you or have you experienced this from someone or something? Have you ever felt anguish, or been in distress? Tribulation, Jesus Christ did say that in this life you shall have trouble or tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world, John 16:33. During times like these I can say that I have experience some in one way or the other but when I call upon Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior something happens and something miraculous takes place. There is a peace that comes over me and Jesus Christ always answers me. Why is it miraculous? I cannot see who I am talking too yet, I get an answer. To some that is considered insanity to talk to someone who you cannot see and get an answer. I get an answer from the unseen because miraculously there is someone over two thousand years ago who died on the cross and was raised, seen among 515 people that are witnesses to His resurrection and now is seated at the right hand of God and is interceding on my behave, Romans 8:34. Wow, I know Jesus Christ answers me in many ways but what about you? I know through His word, through other people that He sends in my life and even through my circumstances He speaks to me but what about you? Not only that, my Lord and Savior speaks to me through His Spirit, (Romans 8:26-27) the Power of the Holy Ghost that live within me is my proof that He speaks to me when I call upon Him any time I need Him. He speaks to me in morning, the afternoon, evening and at night. There is not a time when the Lord does not answer me when I need Him! Matthew: 7:8: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. Today my friend, call upon the Lord and He will hear your cry. He will answer you in the time of your need but you have to be listening when He answers! I declare and decree on your behave that you will receive the answer that you need to get you through, to prosper you, to heal you, to bless you, to comfort you and to protect you from all harm and danger and give you peace when you call upon Him. You will receive your increase with prosperity in your life for whatever you are trying to achieve and accomplish in Jesus Name…
