Seeing everything in life as an opportunity to worship God!
I believe most of us can relate to the first couple lines of our song today, “God, I’m on my knees again, God I’m begging please again. I need You, Oh I need You!” Sin is a very present reality in our lives, and the battle against it can be very fierce at times, but the reality of forgiveness actually has the potential of allowing us the ability to overcome those nagging sins in our lives!
verything you have in you! God is absolutely pursuing a personal relationship with all of us, and it is my prayer that you have joined me in accepting that invitation to experience His goodness for the rest of my days!
(see Titus 3:5-6). A life that rises from defeat and claims victory as we learn to trust in Jesus for everything we need. The Holy Spirit of God is the power that raised Christ from the dead and now that He lives in us He is giving us the power to rise from defeat and death as well!
remind you today of this truth again! The delivering strength of our God was fully realized in Jesus Christ, who was sent to this earth to dwell among us so that He could completely destroy the power of our enemy who has held us in bondage. We are delivered from his grip by the rescuing power of a Savior who conquered the grave and gave us all access to eternal life in His Name – Jesus Christ! Make Him your song in the night!
Lunch Devo: “Created through Him and for Him.” Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things? Do you believe that you were created on purpose for a purpose? Are you living your life “for” Jesus Christ? How? It is sometimes hard for us to remember the Supreme nature of Christ, who … Read more
Lunch Devo: “The Lord Reigns!” Do you believe this message? How much of your life is lived as if you believe this message? (Do you make decisions based on this, do you speak to people in a way that would prove this, are you characterized by joy and peace, etc.) Does it produce joy in … Read more
encouragement in the Scriptures sited above that! It is so good to remind ourselves of Who it is that we are surrendered to and have asked to be our Lord and Savior. So, I want to just list a few things that I have found to be true of the Only Faithful and True expression of the Father who came and dwelt among us so that He could prove Himself to be the mighty Deliverer – Jesus Christ is His Name!
Oh happy day indeed when Jesus washed all my sins away! May the love of God the Father make you alive today in Christ Jesus and regenerate a renewed Spirit within you that is full of worship for His delivering work in your life! He truly is mighty to save anyone who calls on His name! How great is our God!!
So, as we recognize that by the love and sacrifice of Jesus our Lord we are freed forever from being slaves to sin and the ways of the world, and we hear the words of the Father in Heaven calling us His beloved children, we will more freely give our hearts fully over to Him and will experience the goodness of God to its fullest measure! So, get to it today and grow more and more in your relationship with the Good and Perfect Father who loves you.
So, when you are tempted to forget the freedom that you have in Christ because of the unfailing love that was shown through His death, burial, and resurrection, please remember that when you made your way to the Cross and received forgiveness of your sins through belief and repentance our God adopted you and called you His child forever! He has purchased your inheritance into His Kingdom, and desires for you to walk in the abundant life of freedom that is yours in Christ. When we open our hearts to this understanding and lay ourselves down in order to receive more of Him, that is when we will truly appreciate the level of wholeness and freedom that is ours in Christ! Surrender to Him and watch how He transforms the tyranny of sin into the grace of freedom!
