In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Satan is the prince of this present world; and he promotes death, disease, and destruction. But Jesus came to overcome Satan and the world, and He has. He overcame death when he raised Lazarus from the grave. He healed the blind, deaf, lame, paralyzed, and those with leprosy. He drove devils out of the possessed. He turned over the tables of the money changers in the temple. He overcame His own death by rising from the dead after three days.
The reason Jesus performed miracles (other than His great compassion, of course) was to demonstrate in spades that the Kingdom of God is more powerful than the present world. Yes, Jesus has overcome the world and will continue to do so in this present age.
My precious, precious 8-year-old granddaughter Alice was heading to death last Thursday night from a brain tumor that was shutting down her whole body. She was struggling to breathe, and her last breath was just around the corner. But Jesus overcame her death through the hands of a neurosurgeon who performed emergency surgery to remove the tumor. Death was overcome by the Great Physician. Praise God!
Alice now needs much prayer for her recovery. These last 4 days have not gone well for her. She is in excruciating pain and agitation and is experiencing hallucinations. And there is a great strain on her parents. Please pray for all of them – that Jesus would continue to overcome this disease.
