What shall separate you?


Good Morning, 
God's love has been the topic so far this month. His love is like no other. It is an unconditional and everlasting love. The scripture today is going to shift a little bit posing a question to each of us.  

SCRIPTURES OF THE DAY
Romans 8:35 & 39
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
What will we allow to separate us from the love of Christ? Will we allow trials or troubles, great pains or anxiety, teasing or oppression, scarcity or poverty, being without adequate clothing or destitute, being exposed to injury, or weapons to separate us from Christ's love? Every born again believer should stand up and say NO!
Truth is we will suffer persecution. 2 Timothy 3:12 - Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
We can't allow the persecution to overtake us. We must stay focused and remember that who and whose we are. As children of God and recipients of the Holy Ghost, we have the power to come out of every trial victoriously. 
The 37th Verse of our text today decrees that we are more than conquerors through Christ love. 
Yes, we will go through some tough times but we have been assured that we can make it. Hold fast to the love of God and all His promises. You are more than a conqueror! You have the victory!
Verse 38 says I am persuaded. My friend that's the attitude we must develop. We must know that whatever comes or goes that God's love for us is constant and nothing that arise can cause God's love to separate from you. 
We will have mountains to climb and wilderness experiences. There will be trials, pains and even weapons formed against us but I have great news. It is declared in Isaiah 54:17 No Weapon  that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
God has never turned His back on us. Don't  allow circumstances, things, situations and even people to pull us away from God and His love. God's love is unchangeable. We don't ever have to question His love for us. It is and always will be a constant. Whatever challenges we face or mountains we have to climb we can be assured that God and His great love for you will be there in the midst. Remember when faced with the difficulties of life or the attacks of the enemy that God's love for you have given you the victory. You have already been declared a conqueror. Walk through your challenge persuaded of God's love and your ultimate victory.
