Today's "Faith Food" deovtional by Kenneth E. Hagin is another favorite of mine!
Thank You, Father
"Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:12-14).
The New Covenant tells us we should be giving thanks unto the Father because He has made us able to be partakers of something. Of what? "...Of the inheritance of the saints in light!"
The Amplified Bible translates verse 13 as, "[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness..."
God Himself has delivered us from the control of Satan! Satan's kingdom is the kingdom of darkness. God's kingdom is the kingdom of light. The Father has made us able to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us out from under the control and dominion of darkness. Satan has no control over us. He cannot dominate us.
And we are told to thank God for that!
Confession: Thank You, Father, for making me fit to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. Thank You for delivering me out of the authority of darkness. Thank You for transferring me into the kingdom of Your dear Son - the kingdom of light.
AMEN! It is vital that we each come to really KNOW who we are - IN HIM! When we know that, then the enemy will never again get the advantage over us and will never be able to 'devour' us. Remember that he goes around AS a lion (1 Peter 5:8), pretending to be a lion in the hopes of fooling us into giving him a place of entrance into our lives! It is past time for each of us to say: No devil! NOT TODAY! So here is Hillsong with THAT song!Shalom in Him!
