God's Vision for You and the World
Heaven on Planet earth
One of the first things the enemy will try to steal from us is our joy. He wants to get us sad, sorrowful, and oppressed. Remember what it was like when you first were saved? There was joy unspeakable. God doesn’t want us to lose that joy! Nehemiah 8:10 tells us, “The JOY of the Lord is your strength.” It is important for Christians to have joy in their life! If you don’t have joy, you don’t have any strength.
How is it that Jesus was able to live free from stress paralysis or fear’s paralysing power? It is important to remember that He too lived in this fallen world.
The world into which Jesus came was, a world encompassing even more sickness and suffering, malice and hate, treachery and deceitfulness than we see today. There were many things of which He could have been afraid.
Some said it was their own death. A few said it was the permanent loss of their reason. Others said it was a third world war. Sangster agreed that these were awful possibilities but he claimed there was something even worse than them – atheism! Sheer atheism! The belief that behind this universe there is not the loving Father whom Jesus revealed but some blind impersonal force.
"... on earth, as it is in heaven"
