May the Lord show up on your behalf in Jesus name

  John chapter 11 gave us a story on how devil and his cohorts-our neighbor, friends, families etc do make jest of  believers in times of challenges.

John 11:1-3 says: "Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick".

Beloved, the devil and his agents knows our relationship with God, hence, they do everything to make mockery of our God. In John 11, they would have concluded in their mind that this their Jesus can not come to heal and save their brother until he dies but glory be unto our God that specializes in making impossibilities to become possibilities.

Our God showed up on behalf of Marry and Martha, and brought their brother( that was dead for four  days and even stinky) back to life. 

John 11:39-44 says" Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go".

Beloved, I don't know what devil has been using to limit you but since you belong to Him, our God will definitely show up on your behalf and gives you a testimony over your challenges in Jesus name.

All what you need to do is to seek His face in prayer, stop running after man made gods but hold on to God in case you have given your life to Him . 

You can discuss with a genuine child of God that can pray along with you, but in case you are yet to know Him as your Lord and personal savior then you have to do so by confessing your sins, and desiring not to go back into your sinful nature again, and once you can do this then victory is yours.

Have a peaceful day.
