    Day 4 Life is Beautiful: Faith Don't Fail Me Now

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 24, 2022 3:28


    As believers in Jesus Christ, we will all experience some degree of warfare from Satan. He desires to sift authentic believers in Christ because he wants to prove to God that we are not worthy of the calling God has placed on our life. God delights in his people and it makes Satan upset that God loves us so much! What is fascinating is that God may allow Satan to sift believers, but what Satan doesn't know is that God will use the sifting to make us into the vessel He desires each of us to be.

    I know you're asking, "How will God get the glory in my life amongst unsaved family, friends, coworkers, etc.? It's simple. God has placed us all in a place to make an impact. When others see us love despite being mistreated, God gets the glory. When others see you forgive someone who blatantly hurts, God gets the glory. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-spears-jr/support
