I Still Believe
Sometimes we don’t understand the outcomes in our lives. We can’t see the way the Lord is working, and after long days of prayer, the answer that comes is baffling. The answer wasn’t what we were wanting. I would venture a guess that we have all been there or are currently there now. So many questions, so many disappointments; however, God’s grace is still sufficient. He hasn’t turned His love away from us. He is walking with us through the fire, and He knows the heartache we are feeling. He has not left us, nor will He ever leave us or forsake us. His everlasting arms continue to be underneath us holding tightly to us. These are the truths to hold on to in the dark of despair, uncertainty, and discouragement. Our enemy, Satan, would like nothing better than to turn our eyes away from the Lord Jesus who suffered so greatly for the world, to distance our hearts from the only One who can help us. Resist him! Our Father and His Son Jesus Christ love us with an everlasting love. They created the world with perfection. Satan, our enemy, destroyed that perfection with deception. The Lord Jesus humbled Himself. Satan puffed up with pride and sought to dethrone God. Our God is victorious over Him! Don’t listen to the lies of Satan. Turn your eyes upon Jesus and open your ears to the truth of His Word.
Let’s praise Him in the hard times as well as in the good times. He is worthy! Let’s worship Him regardless of our circumstances. Whether we’re on the mountain top or in the dark valley of the shadow of death, rejoice in the Lord! Let your faith keep looking unto Jesus—don’t stop believing! He hasn’t changed. He remains the same yesterday, today and forever. Sometimes the cup He gives us to drink is bitter, but He remains sweet and pleasant. The Apostle Peter walked on water in the midst of the raging stormy sea, and only sank when he turned his eyes away from Jesus. In our pride we imagine we don’t deserve such suffering, but remember our Savior in humility suffered on the cross of Calvary. He has led the way through suffering into victory! Be encouraged in the Lord today—He is worthy of praise! He is there! He is with us!
Take some time to listen to this sermon segment by Dr. Williams.
These particular sermons on the subject of Our Enemy, Satan were originally preached in the 1980s. About five years ago, while Dr. Williams was preaching special meetings at a church, we stayed with a couple who attended the church. The husband shared with us why he had specifically requested that we stay in their home, and what followed was a powerful testimony of God's working in his life.
As a young man, he had begun to stray from the Lord. During that time, his mother gave him a sermon series on cassette titled Our Enemy, Satan, which she had purchased from Dr. Williams. He agreed to listen to the messages, and God used those very sermons to completely change the direction of his life.
Over the years, Dr. Williams had stopped producing this particular sermon album. However, after hearing this man's testimony of how God had used those messages to impact his life, we began making the series available again as a CD album. Today, these messages are also available as a digital download.
Perhaps you know someone who could benefit from hearing these messages just as this man did. We encourage you to consider sharing them with a loved one. God may use these truths to make a lasting difference in their life, just as He did in this young man's life.
You can find it in our online store, available as a downloadable audio message series for $7.50. Click the link below to purchase the series!
