Sermon Illustrations

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭8-9‬ NIV)

What is thought by those who intentionally deceive is that their deceit brings vindication.

However, what is even greater? The deceived who have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ may for only a time be silent as the dust is repelling from their limbs..."The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on his foes and vents his wrath against his enemies. (‭Nahum‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬ NIV). "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ NIV).

For The Lord is our protection and strength. So even greater than the minute satisfaction of vengeance that only stems from a superficial understanding of the principalities that surround our very being, The Almighty. For it is the moment when the strength is renewed that those whom strive for wholeness in The Lord shall be overshadowed by the everlasting majesty and power of The One and Only.

It is that very moment that the satisfaction of those who yet to seek Him in His entirety shall be falsified and forced to their knees in the presence of The King...
