"Take Heart!"

“Take Heart!”

 

“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 16:33

 

WE WIN!!!  I have read the BACK of the Book, the BIBLE that is, and the TRUE BELIEVERS WIN!!  Now this statement should bring UNSPEAKABLE JOY to every TRUE BELIEVER.  We are in a battle, the battle is between GOOD and EVIL, and I can TRUTHFULLY say that GOODNESS is the VICTOR!  EVIL and all its co-horts are DOOMED, and will NEVER be a part of God’s domain.

 

But until we reach the CLIMAX of time as we know it, we may face some PERILOUS times.  Hard times, times of HEARTACHE and HARDSHIPS.  Times that will try our souls.   BUT TAKE HEART!!  Because BETTER times are ahead.   You may doubt it, when you are living through these PERILOUS times, but, you can definitely, TAKE HEART, because Jesus proclaims that He has OVERCOME the world!”  He has OVERCOME death!  He has OVERCOME the devil.  He is the GREAT OVERCOMER!!  Especially for those who BELIEVE and are GOD’S CHILDREN.   Where do you stand?  Are you a part of EVIL’S co-horts?  Or are you a Child of God?   

 

The battle won’t be easy, but it will be worth it all.  So TAKE HEART, TRUE BELIEVER, an ETERNITY in HEAVEN awaits.   If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are part of EVIL’S co-horts, and you are DOOMED to an ETERNITY in Hell, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPING.  But TAKE HEART!  God, in His INFINITE MERCY and ABUNDANT GRACE, is offering you the opportunity to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle and to TURN TO Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU, and is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  Then you MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and TAKE HEART!  He has OVERCOME the world!!!   Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
