Ephesians 2:6 - And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.

Do you know that the moment when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you are no longer at a position of defeat? Maybe your feeling is telling you and giving you a thousand reasons on why you are still a defeated person, but regardless what your feeling tells, remember that you are living by faith, not by your feelings! Therefore, as God raised Jesus up, so did He raised us up with Jesus! He has put us on a position of victory, He has seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ! He has transferred us from the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of the Son He loves, we are already transferred! We are transferred from the ground of defeat to the ground of victory, we are transferred from the ground of curses to the ground of blessings, we are transferred from the ground of sickness to the ground of health! How wonderful it is! And, it is solely because what Christ has done, therefore, enjoy your victory today by simply believing that all the enemies have been made your footstool!

John 3:30 But He must increase and I must decrease.

Dear friend, do you know what is the meaning of "increase" in this verse? It simply means "to put bigger" or "magnify".
So how are you going to let God increase in your life? God increases in your life when you put Him as your priority in everything you do.
Do not magnify the problems you are encountering, but magnify the God you trust.
Stop focusing on your health problem but start to focus on the God who healed you.
Do not put the challenges you are facing right now bigger than the God you rely on.
Instead of looking at the impossibles, turn your trust to the possibles God can do.

Friend, stop magnifying your situation and start to magnify Jesus by trusting in His unfailing love and faithful promises!

路加福音8：24 – 门徒来叫醒了祂，说：夫子，夫子，我们丧命啦。耶稣醒了，斥责那狂风大浪。风浪就止住，平静了。

我们的生活不是也常如此嗎？暴風雨会突然降临，完全没有预警，顿时我们的计划都被打乱了，叫人不知所措。

有一天，耶稣和門徒上了船，对門徒说：「我们可以渡到湖那边去。」他们就開了船。正行的时候，耶稣睡着了。湖上忽然起了暴風，船將滿了 水，甚是危險。門徒來叫醒了祂，说：「夫子！夫子！我們丧命啦！」耶穌醒了，斥責那狂風大浪；風浪就止住，平靜了。耶稣对他们说：「你们的信心在哪里 呢？」他们又惧怕又希奇，彼此說：「這到底是誰？祂吩咐風和水，連風和水也听從祂了。」当耶穌起來斥責狂风大浪，風浪就止住，平靜了。（参阅路加福音8：22-24）

耶稣有能力平息风暴，显示了祂的丰富的恩典与慈愛。尽管耶稣了解門徒的恐惧与害怕，祂仍然平息了風暴。这说明，我們不必让自己变的完美，耶稣才会喜悦我们，祂要我们依靠祂。祂不希望我们只在風暴中“叫醒”祂而已；祂不希望我们只在恐惧时才想起祂。祂乃是要我们时时刻刻都思念着祂，以祂为中心，凭信心来信靠祂；当然，这不是来自我们自己的信心，而是相信神的话在我们生命里是真实的，相信耶稣在十字架的完工。而不要在撞的焦头烂额，走头无路时才来依靠祂。
诗篇37：24【当将你的事交托耶和华，并倚靠祂，祂就必成全】。

即使生命中有许多的风暴来袭，耶稣要带我们通过患难，領受那平安的恩典。当你面对风暴时，记住，耶稣就在你的船上！让耶稣的平安在你心里作主吧！当耶稣在船上，我们还有什么好怕的呢？
我將这些事告诉你们，是要叫你们在我面有平安。在世上，你们有苦难；但你们可以放心，我已经胜了世界。」（約翰福音16:33）。

Nahum 1:9 - Whatever they plot against the Lord he will bring to an end; trouble will not come a second time.

How wonderful it is this verse! The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy; but Jesus came, and He turns everything around so that we can have life, and have it to the full! So, being as a child of God, you have be sure that whatever that the devil plot against you, they are plotting against God. Fighting you is just like fighting with God. Therefore, that sickness or lack may seem to be so great now, and all the facts presented to you shown you how impossible it is, but the truth is, God is by your side! He will bring to an end whatever schemes that the devil has on you, and thus at the cross, He has ended that sins, curses, poverty and sicknesses! Therefore, you can be sure that they will not come to you a second time. The next time when you face challenges in your finance or health, be reminded and tell that challenges that "no no no sickness, Jesus has ended you at the cross, you cannot come to me anymore, so flee in the name of Jesus!", tell that lack that "no no no lack, I don't care but Jesus has ended you at the cross, you cannot come near me again, so get out from my life in the name of Jesus!". The moment when you take up the authority, resist the devil and he will surely flee from you! How great to know that you are fully covered under Jesus' wings, and when the Lord is with you, who can be against you?

哥林多后书5：7 【因我们行事為人，是凭着信心，不是凭着眼見】。

耶稣不要我们凭感觉。肉体要我们凭感觉，但上帝要我們凭事实 -- 基督已经為我們完成的事实，祂在十架上的完工，祂救赎的完工，祂丰盛的救恩等。。。

耶稣從來不用感觉來吸引我们去信靠祂，也從來不用感觉來鼓励我们去信靠祂。祂要我们凭着话语来信靠祂，当我们的眼睛还没有看见事情的发生，在灵里却已经相信了，如同希伯来书11：1说的：信就是所望之事的实底，是未见之事的确据。。我们必須选择：凭感觉，凭眼见？还是凭着相信神的话语？我們的感觉就像海沙那般不可靠；基督的完工却是永久的磐石般穩固，因为祂昨日、今日，一直到永远是一样的（希伯来书13：8）。

信心若堅持到底，就必看见；如果中途放弃或妥协了，那之前所有的努力与坚持都白费了。恶者总是离间我们与神的关系，藉此推我們下去，落到失敗的地位。朋友，你已经离目的地不远了，千万不要中途放弃，因为还有一点点时候，那要来的就来，并不延迟（希伯来是10：37）；你若不灰心，到了時候，就要收成（加拉太6：9）！啊们！

Mark 10:27 - Jesus looked at them & said, "with man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

What is the situation that you are in today? You may find it serious, or you may find it difficult and there is no solution that can settle it. But do know that Jesus is the ultimate solution of your life, He is the Way when you have no way. He is your all in all. Although the facts in this world are giving you ten thousand reasons why you cannot be successful, giving you a lot of fearful statement that you are going to be drown in this crisis, but remember that God is at your side. You are not alone. Never say "I don't know how" or "I cannot" without stepping out the first step of faith and trust in Jesus. The moment when you step out in faith, yes, in the natural it might be impossible, but it is not with God! There is nothing that can limit God but only our unbelief. But as you believe in Him, all things are possible with God! Lean on to Him today, and know that you are surely saved!

希伯来3：14我们若将起初确实的信心坚持到底，就在基督里有份了。
希伯来10：35所以，你们不可丢弃勇敢的心；存这样的心必得大赏赐。

當你觉得无路可退的时候，要知道－神祂有办法！因为祂是活人的神，不是死人的神，在祂那里，人都是活的（路加福音20：38）。让這個美好的信息时刻来提醒你，在困境之中持守真理並且信靠神。祂有你所需要的能力与智慧，有你一切問題的答案；当你看不到出路時，信靠祂，祂赐你智慧做出对的决定，在祂沒有难成的事，祂會使那些不好的光景成為你生命中的转机。
罗马书8：28我们晓得万事都互相效力，叫爱神的人得益处，就是按祂旨意被召的人。

上帝賜下丰富的恩典，使你可以在生活中從新得力，充滿和平和喜乐，祂可以用最简易的方式，让那些难处成為你的恩典，祂可以使平凡变得与众不同。祂要你活得精彩，充满恩惠与慈爱。單單的准备好你的心，不断学习释放基督的大能，並且持守真理，让這信念被建造成為你生命里的根基，你就不会那么容易被动摇或被打倒。
哥林多前书3：11 因为那已经立好的根基就是耶稣基督，此外没有人能立别

Psalm 107:20 - He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

Do you know that it is the Word of God who separates you from the world? The Word of God is not the word of the world, it is the very life of God. Therefore, as the children of God, we need the Word of God because that is our lives! Regardless of what is your situation now, what is your circumstance, and how bad it is, God has sent out His Word in your life. When you esteem the Word of God higher than the word of people, you will see the manifestation of the Word of God! The Word of God has healing power, it heals your wounded heart, it heals you from all diseases, the life of God consists no sickness in it, no darkness, no unholiness. But the Word of God is able to rescue you from the grave, from the darkness, from all sicknesses, from all anxiety, and you need the Word of God just like you need oxygen to live! Spend time in the Word, believe in what He says, and you shall see the fruit in your life. When God says it, we believe in it, and it settles it!

Psalms 59:16-17
But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.

Hello friend, have you ever meditate where you get strength from in order to move on in life?
When you are weak and lost, what is your response? Are you choose to stay in the negativity ground and murmuring? Or you choose to focus on the source of your strength?
Now, is time for you to make the decision and choose. When you are lack of strength, sing of your strength-God.
When you are down and feel all alone, sing of the love-God.
No matter what circumstances you are in, regardless what challenges you are facing, always remember that you have the strongest support and that is God! He is your refuge and fortress which will never change.
He is the loving God who cares for you and willing to lead you through and give you all that He could gives.

So, abide in Him by meditating the love and promises He has for you.
Start to believe and proclaim, surely, you will experience the tremendous power that turn bad into good and impossibles into possibles when you sing praise to God as well as give thanks to Him!
