Message for November 16, 2019 from Pastor Jerry

            FROM PASTOR JERRY:

IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.-John- 16:33

     How are you handling the tribulation you are having in this world?  And don’t tell me you are not having any. Even if we get too mixed up with this world, it will still see to it that we have tribulation.  It’s only logical that it comes. The thief comes for no other reason than to steal, kill, and destroy. And he is the “god” of this world; therefore, all things in this world are under his influence.  To choose worldly things above the things of God is like sleeping with your enemy. No matter what and how the world system gives you, it ultimately is not for your benefit.

     If you are aware of how the world is deteriorating around us, then you know what I mean.  Just watch the news, and you can conclude that no one is safe from the insanity of people in this world.  The only safe place is under the shelter of the Almighty. This is not doubt but even there we can be at risk.  The god of this world has no reason not to keep coming after you to wear you down and tempt you to quit trusting God.  But, remember he that endures until the end shall be saved. The end is when we die or when Jesus comes again. When the world falls we will rise. Remember, Jesus said, “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.”
