Shalom,

First of all today I would like to share part of "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers:

Building on the Atonement

…present…your members as instruments of righteousness to God. —Romans 6:13

I cannot save and sanctify myself; I cannot make atonement for sin; I cannot redeem the world; I cannot right what is wrong, purify what is impure, or make holy what is unholy. That is all the sovereign work of God. Do I have faith in what Jesus Christ has done? He has made the perfect atonement for sin. Am I in the habit of constantly realizing it? The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things. The redemption of Christ is not an experience, it is the great act of God which He has performed through Christ, and I have to build my faith on it. If I construct my faith on my own experience, I produce the most unscriptural kind of life— an isolated life, with my eyes focused solely on my own holiness. Beware of that human holiness that is not based on the atonement of the Lord. It has no value for anything except a life of isolation— it is useless to God and a nuisance to man. Measure every kind of experience you have by our Lord Himself. We cannot do anything pleasing to God unless we deliberately build on the foundation of the atonement by the Cross of Christ.

He uses the word 'atonement' here, but what JESUS accomplished on that cross was NOT a simple atonement for sin, but a complete redemption from all that sin had wrought in mankind! We , who have received JESUS as LORD and SAVIOUR have been completely redeemed, bought back from the authority of satan, recreated in the New Birth in the very image opf God Himself, made members of HIS very own family and heirs of God! NOW the enemy can only operate in our lives when we allow him to, by ignorance of or disobedience to the WORD of GOD! HALLELUJAH! WE ARE FREE! So now let's rejoice in HIM with Psalm 100 from our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today!

A Psalm of thanksgiving and for the thank offering.

1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing! 3 Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name! 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.

Hallelujah! Here is Hillsong with "Grace To Grace" to continue the rejoicing! 

Shalom in Him!
