I had a whole list of current issues to deal with, different sins people are
struggling with, but as I was in prayer this morning the Holy Spirit said
that the word people needed more than any other today was that it is going
to be OK! It is easy to get weary fighting the evils of this fallen world.
It is easy to get weary fighting the battles each one has in their own daily
lives. It is not only easy to get weary, but at times feel defeated. You see
evil flourishing around you, you see the unrighteous prosper, you see the
injustice that exists, you see all of the pain and heartache each day, and
you can get down. My friend, let me give you a word straight from the throne
room of God today . . . IT IS GOING TO BE OK!!!

By now, most of you know me well enough to know that I would never say
something just to "tickle your ears." One of the things Liveprayer does each
day is bring hope to millions worldwide, but not false hope. So when I tell
you "it is going to be OK," I am not just saying that to make you feel
better or to give you hope that really doesn't exist. I tell you that it is
going to be OK BECAUSE IT IS! We have the promises of God in His Word that
no matter what is going on in the world around us, no matter what is going
on in our own lives, it is going to be OK . . . because of Jesus!

No doubt, it is easy to look at this fallen and sin-filled world we live in
and get very discouraged. A world that is living in utter and total
rebellion to God and His Word. For many, looking at the current
circumstances of your life can be very discouraging. Financial problems,
health problems, marriage problems, addiction problems, employment problems,
children problems, legal problems, and a whole host of other problems cause
many to look at their lives each day and feel hopeless. Between the evil in
this world that we live in and whatever battles we have in our own life, the
fact is that there is nothing to be hopeful about without the hope we have
in Christ.

You see, my friend, I can say with 100% assurance to you today that it is
going to be OK because of Jesus Christ. It is Jesus that has overcome this
sinful world we live in. It is Jesus that allows us to live in victory
despite the problems we face in our life. That is why the one and only hope
for this world and for our life is faith in Jesus Christ. Those who put
their faith in anything or anyone else will not only be lost for all
eternity, they will go through this life never knowing the true peace, the
true joy, the true abundance this life can offer, despite the evil in our
world and the problems we all have to live through. It is Jesus Christ and
Him alone that allows us to live this life and for all eternity in complete
and total victory!

I love you and care about you so much. As I type these words directly to YOU
today, please hear this message. Don't let the things in the world around
you discourage you. Don't let whatever problems you are facing in your life
today discourage you. Today, be ENCOURAGED because of Jesus. He has overcome
this world, and He will allow you to live your life in victory. He loves you
and He cares about you. He loves you enough that He died for your sins and
He cares about you enough that He promised to never leave you nor forsake
you. So no matter what is happening right now, God is saying to you that IT
IS GOING TO BE OK!

As I close today, let me leave you with some powerful promises from God's
Word. They are for YOU today! Read each one, meditate on them, and let them
be a reminder to you that no matter what is going on in the world today, no
matter what is going on in your life, IT IS GOING TO BE OK!!!
