The Shaking of Nations - A Harvest Tsunami Is On Its Way....

How does intentionally focusing on Jesus and the cloud of

witnesses keep us from losing heart? We learn to live a grace

empowered life whether we are in good times or bad times.

God's grace is the supernatural ability to live beyond our natural

ability.

By grace we can refuse to be shamed by the world when we

take a biblical stand, and instead anticipate the joy that will

come from our trust God. No one will ever truly endure what

Jesus went through for our sakes; but our willingness to follow

Him, no matter what, will release the same grace into our lives.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. (2 Cor. 4:17)

In that passage from 2 Corinthians, Paul simply says that

perspective is everything. In order to persevere, we need to see

our problems through the revelation of God’s present strength

and future glory. Paul had come to regard the incredible

suffering he endu red in serving the Lord as “light and

momentary.”

The writer of Hebrews further characterized growth in the

Christian life as running a race, on a course laid out by God for

each believer. Our job is to train for the race and to run it with

the grace He has extended to us.
