We Have the Victory!

“Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37 AMP).
No matter what challenges you may be facing today—at work, home, in your health or in your relationships, God promises that even in the middle of “all these things”, you can have victory. How? Victory starts in your heart and mind. Victory starts with peace that passes understanding. That means that you can have peace when it doesn’t make sense to have peace. When the rest of the world is full of anxiety and worry, you can live in peace. Victory “amid all these things” also means that you can have joy deep down in your soul. You can have so much joy that you can’t even explain why you have it! It’s supernatural. It’s joy unspeakable and full of His glory and power.
When you begin to dwell on God’s promise of victory, something will change on the inside of you. You may have felt like you were losing ground five minutes ago, but right now you can take hold of the victory He’s promised. Open your heart to Him and receive the joy and peace He longs to give you. Remember, the joy of the Lord is your strength, and as you embrace His joy, you’ll be empowered to rise above your challenges so you can move forward into the victory He has for you.

Bob & Lorita--English teachers?

This weekend, we began teaching English classes in a church in Costa Rica. One of our ministries is to teach English as an evangelical tool to bring people to Jesus. Bob had obtained certification to teach English as a second language before leaving the States. The turnout was great, with about 20 students, all adults. Glory to God! There is nothing like learning English using the Bible. The course is on Saturdays, and will last into December! We pray that God will use this opportunity to draw others to him!
