Trying to escape from troubles with Jesus!

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:23

The Christian life is not about escaping trouble but accepting the troubles engineered by God.

The purpose of Jesus for a believer is to dwell in the secret place of the Most High and you will experience strength and protection. 

This is a command to seek Jesus through prayer, reading the Word and listening for His voice. 

Walking with Jesus is living one day at a time with Him anchored to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will keep a believer aligned with Jesus and filled with His omniscient wisdom.

Jesus instructs His people to find peace in Him but to expect trouble in the world. The world is the antithesis of Jesus and is not under His authority. The role of a Christ follower is die to self and live for Jesus severing his ties to the world.

Jesus has overcome the world and promises comfort and protection for His people. This supernatural peace can be found by letting go of worries and seeking Jesus with prayer and supplication (humbly petitioning Jesus) with a heart of thanksgiving. This will give a believer the peace that surpasses all understanding and guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

The life of Jesus is your protection and strength to be an overcomer. Jesus promises to deliver His people from troubles in His perfect timing.
