Stand Strong

In this hopeful and reassuring message, Jane Hansen Hoyt, Aglow International President & CEO, reminds us that God has our protection covered during this Coronavirus outbreak.

Matthew 7:24-25
Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the wind beats against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock. 

• How can we prepare, before trials come, so we are able to stand strong when the hard waves of life come against us?
• Where are some less stable areas in your life The Lord can help you strengthen?

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Greetings to you today. We’re living in unusual times, aren’t we? Last night I had the opportunity to text with my granddaughter. It was a late night; we texted up to midnight! She was inquiring, “Is this preparation for the second coming?” It was a great opportunity to express some wonderful spiritual truths that she knows in her heart as she begins to see things unfold. It brings it home closer for all of us. One of the things I want to mention to you is that those of us who work at the Aglow Headquarter Office will be working off site, from our homes. We will continue to take calls; and we will continue to be blessed by your financial gifts that keep the ministry going. 

The word today is to encourage you to Stand Strong in faith; to believe God has your protection and your family’s protection covered by His blood. Jesus completed it on the cross! It is real, and times like this are ways that give us opportunity to press into that reality.

It is easy to go along day by day and just live our normal life. But when something happens, it causes us to square our shoulders and think, I know some things that I need to be living up to. This is an opportunity to Come Up Higher …and we are doing it! 

Today, I bless you. I pray the protection of Jesus over you. I plead the blood of Jesus over you. We are going to get through this and we are going to come out higher than we were before; better, stronger, more joyful than when this virus broke out; in our nation and the nations of the world. Bless you today, be well!
