Overcoming Adversity

Adversity is not something we merely face—it is something we conquer. In Christ, we are not victims of circumstance, we are victors through faith. Every trial is an opportunity for triumph. Every battle is a chance to move forward, not in fear, but in faith. We don’t shrink back when challenges come—we rise up, knowing the God who goes before us has already secured the victory. “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” —1 Corinthians 15:57. “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” —Romans 8:37. Join me in this powerful new series as we dive into the Word of God and learn how to not just endure adversity, but to overcome it—walking in the victory, authority, and faith that is already ours in Christ.

    It Is Time for Vision – Episode 4

    Breakthrough is not accidental — it is the result of biblical vision, intentional planning, and decisive obedience. In this episode of the Overcoming Adversity Series, Christopher and Celinda teach how God’s pattern for vision and choice leads to breakthrough, clarity, and forward momentum. If you’ve ever felt like you’re circling the same mountain, unsure why progress seems slow, or hesitant to take the next step God has already revealed, this message will bring clarity, alignment, and renewed resolve. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why God cannot bless steps we refuse to take, and how choosing vision over vagueness positions you to move forward with confidence, purpose, and faith. Key Scriptures (KJV): Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Habakkuk 2:2 “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Luke 14:28 “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?” James 1:8 “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” Partner Financially 🌐 Website: https://joosteinternationalministries.com 🤝 Partner / Support: https://joosteinternationalministries.com/partner Watch the Overcoming Adversity Series 🎥 YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLDGF4MSNRaMDTMk1a5FwtgRdt6WNlZ5M&si=xU1_vP2Q6Zka5W1U Marriage Workbook 📘 https://joosteinternationalministries.com/online-store Listen to Pure Beats Vol. 001 🎵 YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n8cyzbJyQw0yZgl576q44_3JmhalPZ7gQ&si=kdrKES3LoRDNjend 🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6xS6EWbN3NyAlQLjdSilF0?si=3UXTWjxvTSeJv2wAoBlJgA 🎵 Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/pure-beats-volume-001/1856168915 Stay Connected 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/jooste_international 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567186673889 📺 YouTube: @JoosteMinistries 🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/Jooste_Int_Min 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@jooste_int_min

    Adversity Episode 3 – Never Give Up In this episode, we share 5 practical keys that will help you push through adversity and keep going when life gets tough. Everyone faces challenges—but with vision, purpose, and faith, you don’t have to give up. Small, consistent steps lead to breakthrough, and God promises restoration for those who endure. Through personal testimony, biblical teaching, and practical insight, we’ll explore: ✅ Setting a clear vision and remembering what you’re working toward (Proverbs 21:5) ✅ Feeding yourself with prayer, worship, and the Word (Philippians 4:6–7) ✅ Choosing the right circle of people to sharpen and strengthen you (Proverbs 13:20; 27:17) ✅ Understanding how small steps of faith build big victories (Luke 16:10) ✅ Finding purpose in failure and learning to see setbacks as setups (1 Peter 5:9–10; James 1:2–3) If you’ve ever felt like quitting, this message is for you. It’s not unscriptural to go through something—but it is unscriptural to remain defeated.
