Onward Christian Soldiers

Like many other people on social network, I find myself posting greetings of a Happy New Year, Merry Christmas, and wishes for prosperity for the future. I am so fortunate to have such a great personal relationship with God, on a level that I immediately see when He’s had His hand on a situation. Even in the last few weeks I have seen how He answered prayers for employment for people. He has touched the ailing with their health scares, situations, and yes, healing. He has protected from bullies, those who raise His name.
He provided a hedge of protection for friends and family who travelled great distances to visit family, or enjoy vacations in other countries. He held the hands and hearts of friends who lost beloved loyal pets over the Christmas Season, and with others who gave pets a forever home. He is with those now who must let loved ones go home to a prepared room and be with the Father. He will remain with the loved ones that will mourn, yet not grieve. Just as He promised his followers in John 16:5-24 that they would see Him again, so shall we see each other in heaven. He extends that same promise to each of us, asking only that we only believe in Him, come to Him, and recognize Him as our Savior.
Our Lord is right now planning good for this coming year. Yes there will be struggles and conflicts in our world. There will be persecution of Christians and Muslims alike, and the list goes on. We need to push this back. We as people, cannot survive if we continue to hate each other because we are different. The world just celebrated the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, the King of Kings, the Lord of all nations, and that should be something to remember every day. If you are looking for an achievable new years’ resolution, I encourage you to keep greeting each other the way you may have over the last month, with love. Show those around you how our Prince of Peace can be alive and well in all of us.
Allow Holy Spirit to overtake you, like and share as you would on Facebook. Like me, you will see His presence and influence every day. Let this year be the one that He makes a difference in you. Onward Christian Soldiers.
