Dealing with life’s challenges 5

“And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Because the Syrians have said, The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.” 1 Kings 20:28 KJV

The consciousness of God’s presence changes everything in the challenges of life. God is not limited to certain seasons, places, or conditions. He is God on the mountain and God in the valley. He remains God in times of abundance and in times of scarcity (1 Kings 17:1-16, Genesis 26:1-3). He is God in seasons of peace and in seasons of battle ( 2 Chronicles 20, John 16:33). He is with you in the fire and in the flood, and His power is not reduced by the situation around you (Isaiah 43:1-2). No circumstance can remove His authority, and no challenge can weaken His ability to save. When you know that God is with you, fear loses its power, and confidence rises in your heart.

No matter what you are facing, do not give in to doubt or despair. Turn to God, hold on to His word, and remain steadfast until His intervention becomes evident (Luke 18:1-7; Job 14:14). Those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits (Daniel 11:32).

Prophetic Word: I declare that you will carry a fresh consciousness of the presence of God in every season of your life. In the mountain and in the valley, the Lord will show Himself strong on your behalf. You will not be overwhelmed by adversity, and you will not be defeated by opposition. The God of all situations will arise for you, fight your battles, and give you victory. Every challenge before you shall become a testimony, and through your life, men shall know that He is Lord. In Jesus’ name.

Prayer: My father and my God, help me to remain conscious of Your presence in every situation of life. Teach me to trust You in the mountain and in the valley, in abundance and in lack, in peace and in trouble. Let my heart not be moved by fear or doubt, but let me stand firm in faith until I see Your intervention. Show Yourself mighty in my life, and let every challenge end in victory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
