WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING
The title of today’s episode: CAN YOU HANDLE IT?
Today, I want to start with a verse that many misquote and often miss the point of the verse.
I Cor 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
It says that he will not allow us to be tempted about our threshold. God holds us in his hands, nothing comes as a surprise to him. He knows what we are capable of even when we don’t grasp our strength. God knows our threshold limits of tolerance is for every type situation. God has placed boundaries around us that the enemy cannot go through.
We, too, can pray a hedge of protection about us, our family, and all that God has given to us. We can draw a bloodline the enemy cannot cross. He will not allow us to be tempted beyond our ability to resist the enemy.
Exodus 12:13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
Unlike the Israelites, we do not have to physically put blood over our doors and on the side beams for protection. When Jesus died for us his blood was sufficient for our salvation and our protection. We have a blood covenant with God. The enemy has to flee when we remind him that we are covered by the blood.
As Jesus’ children, his blood has been applied to our lives and death cannot touch us until Jesus is ready to take us home. The enemy may try to get us to give up. He may try to get us to speak negative words that will harm us. But he can only touch us if God allows him. Look at Job; the enemy had to petition God to do anything to Job.
Job didn’t know how strong he was, but God did. God knew he would not curse him, no matter what the enemy did to him. God knows how much we can handle. Use that fact to give you strength to keep pressing on.
Any time the enemy comes and tells you that you can’t handle whatever you are facing. Tell him to get behind you, because he is a liar. You will not believe his lies or give in to his nonsense.
I ask the question again: Can you handle it? Now I am sure, you can confidently say Yes, I can, because God says I can.
Until next time,
BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
