1 Samuel 2:6 The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.7 The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. “For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; on them he has set the world.9 He will guard the feet of his faithful servants, but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness. “It is not by strength that one prevails;10 those who oppose the Lord will be broken. The Most High will thunder from heaven; the Lord will judge the ends of the earth. “He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.

Do you believe that God exists?

Do you believe that God has all power in heaven and on earth?

Do you believe that God controls all things?

Do you believe that the Word of God is the truth and that it is always fulfilled?

If your answers to ALL of the above questions were YES and YOUR ANSWERS WERE SINCERE AND TRUE, then you are definitely living the victories of God.

But if ANY of the answers to the above questions were NO, you are probably living all of the following situations:

• A constant life of anguish and sadness.
• You don't have peace.
• You are afraid of the future and live with anxiety.
• You are constantly experiencing spiritual weakness and do not have the strength to seek God.
• You don't like going to church.
• You pray a few minutes a day.

These are signs that you have NOT been living the good things that God promised you in the Bible, because God promised us exactly the opposite of these signs.

If you TRULY believe in God, presumably you are obeying him and are happy to be in his presence to simply worship him.

But how many times does man fail to obey, for the simple fact of not believing that God sees and controls everything and that his word is the truth.

Don't be fooled, if any of these negative signs appear in your life, REFLECT, see what's wrong in your attitudes, CHANGE, seek God, repent, put your life in his presence, as he wants and surely things will change.

We all need God to control our lives, but for that to happen it is necessary that you let him control, wanting him, seeking him, then you will have spiritual discernment to win the struggles that often want to "DEVOUR YOUR SOUL".

Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Then no evil shall come to you, as:

Psalm 91:10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.

Before God's best will happen to you, after all, the Bible says:

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
