Good morning glorious one!
God has made ALL THINGS POSSIBLE to you who believe! It’s totally possible to be completely free from anything that hinders you! Jesus has obtained complete victory over every difficulty, every evil power, and every corruption. Every sin is covered by the cross of Calvary.
If we will come to God believing His Word, we will be healed, restored, the burden will be lifted, and we will have real overcoming faith. So, look up, family! Be encouraged today! Jesus has shaken the foundations of death and darkness. He will fight for you. The Scripture declares in 2 Chronicles 20:15,
- Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s’.
He is the great I AM. His Name is above every Name. He is saying to us what He said to His people of old in Jeremiah 31:3,
- I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
God has promised us that He will NEVER leave us, no never, no never, no never.
Hebrews 13:5 from the Amplified Classic Editition says it this way,
- …for God Himself has said, “I will not in any way fail you nor give up on you nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake you nor let you down or relax My hold on you! Assuredly not!
As I was reading Acts 6 today, I was so blessed to read that the 12 disciples wanted the multitude to seek out for themselves 7 men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom to appoint over taking care of the widows so that the 12 could give themselves continually to prayer and the ministry of the Word.
Steven was one of the 7 men who were chosen. He was a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit and did great wonders and miracles among the people, and his opponents were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke. When he was taken by his opponents before the Sanhedrin, all the Council members looked steadfastly at him and they, “…saw his face as it had been the face of an angel…(Acts 6:15).
As I read this, I see that we must at all costs live by the power of the Holy Spirit. God wants us to be like Stephen, full of faith and the Holy Spirit. We can never be the same again after we have received the wonderful baptism of the Holy Spirit. We are like burning and shining lights in the midst of this crooked and perverse generation (Philippians 2:15).
Jesus said in Matthew 28:18,
- All power is given to me in heaven and in earth, therefore, you go…
He so longs for us to be so filled with faith and the Holy Spirit that we will do even greater works than He did in order to bring glory to our Father (John 13:12).
Jesus has gone to be with the Father. He is in the place of power and He exercises His power not only in heaven but on earth, because He has all power on earth as well as in heaven. Hallelujah!! What an open door to us if we will believe His Word!
Jesus came to set us free from sin, disease, and death. Jesus Christ has redeemed us. He has authority over all the power of the enemy and has given us His victory.
The Holy Spirit Who lives lives within you will always reveal the Lord Jesus Christ. I exhort you to serve Him, love Him, and be filled with Him. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
All things are possible to him who believes,
