ROMANS 8:38-39
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This passage is our ultimate security, the bottom line statement. Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ. Not even the powers of hell itself, the unseen forces of evil in all the universe, forces like Satan and his fallen angels (see EPHESIANS 6:12).
Too often, I am sad to say, we hear those words, but are unable to apply them to our lives and how we live on a day-to-day basis.
Satan is an expert deceiver, he will always try to convince us that God’s love is less than it is; that God has abandoned us, and that we are not good enough.
He comes like a thief to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (JOHN 10:10), with little whispers of allegations and temptations.
Like the fake news media, he speaks into our minds, particularly our emotions that we believe his lies.
He convinces many that self gratification is more important than our relationship with God, and then that God has abandoned us and handed over to the devil because he wants to bring you confusion, torment, pain, and suffering for all eternity.
He knows that sin separates us from God, and like when sheep are separated from the flock, the wolves, his army of unclean spirits and demons, like lions come to devour (1 PETER 5:8).
But Jesus came to give you life, that you may have it more abundantly with Him for all eternity (JOHN 10:10), and no matter what the circumstances, no matter how much we have messed up, no matter what powerful forces Satan can throw at us to damage our relationship with God, Jesus will always be there for us with His selfless, unconditional love.
He said, ”“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.“
John 14:15-18 NKJV
That is a forever promise from the mouth of Jesus Christ, He will never leave you.
In Christ, we are super-conquerors, He gives us the desire and the power to do that what pleases Him (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).
I encourage you, that whatever situation you are facing, what ever troubles have been thrown at you; God loves you, and He wants to help you; simply put your trust in Him, for you can do all things through Christ, who gives you strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
It really is that simple, for Jesus has already won your battle, whether that is in your marriage, your health, wealth, or career; whether you are caught up in addiction, or any kind of sin, if you are willing, Jesus will make a way for you.
He has made your sin His problem and He dealt with it on a cross, for He wants no man to perish but for all to come to Him in repentance (2:PETER 3:9).
My beloved, whatever your struggles, come to Jesus today; He is the way in your situation, the only way to a permanent resolve however impossible it may seem; He is the truth-the only truth you can believe in this dark world and it’s the truth that sets you free (JOHN 8:31-32); free from death and every torment of the devil. He is the life-the resurrection life that only He can give. Jesus is the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“
Romans 8:31-39 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
