1 John 5:4-5 For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God? Then I believe this word is for you.🙂
The other day the Lord gave me a picture of a Coconut Shy Stand at the fairground where you have to hurl balls at the coconuts to knock them down. The balls in our hands are the Words of God and His promises. The coconuts are our doubts and fears, our mountains, or whatever rises up against us. They could be sicknesses or diseases, or debts, or lack in any area that loom up in front of us.
Our job is to believe the promises and see ourselves hurling those balls of God’s words at those doubts and fears, knocking them off their pedestals, and seeing them topple onto the ground, powerless to harm us. See them defeated, lying beneath our feet. The thing is, we have to do the hurling and God’s Word will do the toppling! The Word of God will do its part when we do our part.
Winners at the Coconut Shy Stand have prizes and in the same way we will have a prize too which is to see the promises of God fulfilled in our lives. Our prize is to see our faith overcoming whatever the world throws at us because our faith is in the Lord Jesus, who is the Word of God.
I hope you get the picture. We know we’ll have challenges throughout our lives but Jesus said He’s overcome the world for us (John 16:33) and He’s passed His victory over to us.
So whenever you have ‘coconuts’, whatever they represent in your life, and they’re standing in front of you, challenging you, get the Word of God out, and hurl the promises of God at them until you see them fall at your feet.
1 John 5:4 …And this is the victory that overcomes the world - our faith. Faith in what? Faith in the Lord Jesus and the promises of God that they are all backed up by the Lord Jesus Himself.
Maybe it’s time to go and knock down those coconuts!🙂
