Watch Abundant Life with John Hagee: Hope for the World.
If you’re walking through heartache or emotional suffering, take courage—God’s Word promises that “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him” (James 1:12 NKJV). The trial you face today is not the end; it’s the proving ground of your faith. The same God who called Gideon a “mighty man of valor” in his weakest hour is calling you to believe that your greatest battle will become your greatest victory.
Gideon, Daniel, and the three Hebrew children all discovered that when the fire grows hottest, God’s presence grows closest. The Lord who shut the lions’ mouths and walked through the flames is the same God who fights for you. Whatever stands against you cannot prevail, for “greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4 NKJV). Stand firm. Persevere. Your great victory is coming!
