Today I want to share from Kenneth and Gloria Copeloand's "From Faith To Faith" devotional!
Nothing to
Lose
Say ye to
the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of
their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of
his hands shall be given him. Isaiah 3:10-11
Have you
ever been afraid to give yourself totally to the Lord because you think you
might be deprived of some pleasure in this life? Chances are, you have. That's
because Satan is working overtime to convince you that he can really make your
life worth living. But don't believe him for a minute. The real truth is,
yielding completely to the Lord won't cost you anything that's worth having. It
will only cause you to live life to its fullest!
Jesus' life
on earth was a perfect example of a totally yielded life. He was a walking
example of the benefits godly living brings. Everywhere He went, Jesus made the
deaf to hear, the blind to see, the lame to walk. He lived in perfect peace and
absolute victory.
That all
sounds pretty good to me. All He missed out on was the devil getting dominion
over Him to steal, kill and destroy. In fact, the devil couldn't do anything to
Him until, by the Father's will, He laid down His life. Until that time Jesus
walked in total victory over the enemy.
Do you think
you would miss out on a lot if you lived that way? Of course not! You can walk
in that same anointing and power and glory of God that Jesus did.
Do you have
to give up your whole life to do it? Yes! You have to trade your life for the
life of God. You have to trade your sickness for His healing, your poverty for
His prosperity, your anxiety for His peace, your sin for His salvation.
So why
hesitate? When it gets right down to it, you really have nothing to lose.
AMEN! Never forget that the Word of God IS TRUTH! John 17:17:17 Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth.
ALWAYS choose the TRUTH over what your sneses tell you! Go with the Word of God and you will never fail! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
