We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10

God has created us to be champions and conquerors to reveal the supremacy of Christ. Satan does his best to negate this truth. On earth there is a grand drama between evil and good that is acted out on earth and in heavenly places. Sometimes it seems like the evil is winning, but God always has the last word. Even though we are hard pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down, we are not defeated or destroyed.

We are victorious when we surrender our lives to Jesus to use as He wills. It is in dying to ourselves that the death of Jesus destroys the works of Satan and sin.

Our Father God wants us to live a life of worship and praise before Him. It is in this way that we bring Jesus to others and reveal love and light to a dying world.
