TAKE HEART

" I have told you all this so that you may have peace in
me. Here on earth, you will have many trials and
sorrows. But TAKE HEART, because I have overcome the
world."
(JOHN 16:33)

In our opening passage, we see our master the Lord Jesus With PS MIKE
Christ having a session with his disciples about what was to
For More happen as they carry on ministry here on earth. Notice, what he

them to have peace in him!

Notice, Jesus doesn’t say, because I have overcome the world,

you shall have it all smooth for you. Rather, he tells them, yes, as

(pressure from all sides of life, affliction from the enemy, distress

access master says in this world you will have tribulation, BUT take heart,
victory. I have overcome the world. Notice, he says take heart first and
then tells you he has overcome the world! He didn’t say, “I have
overcome the world, now take heart”! This is the implication;
today, for you to recognize the victory Christ attained for us, you
must take heart. Take heart simply means (to be of good cheer,
to be courageous, be confident, certain).
When you are confident, certain, you easily access VICTORY over # Take heart, I
