Disciples Of Christ

Verse of the day - Ephesians 6:10 (NRSV)

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.  

In chapter 3 of my second book, Jesus tells us what we need to do when we feel as though we are being overcome with evil.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

Being a disciple of Mine is hard.  Many times, the devil will throw daggers at you to try to make you quit following Me.  By daggers I mean he will put major stumbling blocks in your way.  Please be aware of this.  Any time you feel you are being overcome with evil, cry out to Me and I will rescue you.  Any time you cry out to Me you win, and the devil loses.  Be firm in your faith and stand up to the tactics of the devil.  When you stand up to the devil, you grow in your faith with Me.  Be not afraid to take a stand.  This is what you are called to do.

Being a disciple for Jesus is hard.  Many times, we will have people and other circumstances come against us while we are trying to do God's work.  Sometimes we may have doubts as to whether or not what we are doing is what God has actually called us to do.  Back in the time of Jesus, the twelve disciples were ordinary people chosen by Jesus, Himself to carry on His work after He went to the cross and died for our sins.  They too had many doubts and fears.  Even if we have doubts and fears like the disciples did or feel unqualified, Jesus will give us the strength and courage we need to do His work.
