GIVE ME COURAGE TO STAND UP FOR YOU, JESUS!!!

Mark 8:34 New King James Version
34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

HELP ME "TAKE UP MY CROSS" AND STAND UP FOR YOU DAILY!!! GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA DEAR FRIENDS!!!
Tell me something my friends. “Are you a Polycarp or a Peter?” This is a very interesting question that Arthur Jackson, this morning's devotional writer asked, and I had to share it today. It's a question that's on my mind, and I pray that it's something you seriously think about. Not in a disparaging manner towards Peter, but just to think about. We definitely know how Peter reacted during Christ’s arrest and trial all the way to crucifixion, but do we really take into consideration everything after Christ resurrection? Yes, many people are so quick to condemn Peter because he denied Jesus, but they conveniently forget or suppress the Peter that we see in in the book of Acts. The Peter that was restored by Christ and became a mighty apostle.

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me out of this morning scripture, things that he has been showing me about Peter, and how despite peter's big mouth, bravado, and everything else, that God still used this man, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that you really take the time to listen to what I have to say. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to be willing to “take up your cross” and have the courage to stand up for Jesus! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that you not only think about them, but act on them.

When do you need extra doses of courage to stand for Jesus?

What do you find helpful in your witness for Him?

I pray tonight, that if you are struggling with courage, that God will give you that courage, and use it wisely for Him. If you happen to be a Peter, it's OK. Sometimes all of us have a “courage outage”, where we fail to speak up, and act honorably for our Lord, but that doesn't mean that He’ll ever give up on you. Remember, that Peter became a very mighty man of God, and one of the biggest leaders in the church, who did give his life for the Lord, so if God can use a big mouth, courage outage fisherman who denied Jesus, He can use you too. Just be willing to dust yourself off prayerfully, turn to Jesus, ask for His help to be faithful to Him, and for the courage and wisdom to do so. God will definitely help you with the courage as well as the wisdom to be faithful to Him every day, even in the most difficult places and situations. Just be willing to take up your cross and let Him give you that courage!

UNTIL SUNDAY:

HAVE A VERY SUBLIME EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
