Shalom,
Before we get started today, I have a WORD of encouragement for all of GOD'S people! Psalm 60:11-12:
11 O give us help against the adversary, for vain (ineffectual and to no purpose) is the help or salvation of man. 12 Through God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries.AMEN! OUR GOD will NEVER fail! The enemy may APPEAR to be winning, BUIT HE WILL NOT! he IS an already defeated foe and he will NEVER win out against the people of the GOD of the BIBLE! NEVER! Our GOD is about to do something in this time what will leave absolutely NO DOUBT that our God IS GOD and there IS no other! AMEN! Now here is Jerry Savelle's devotional:
BECOME STRONG-WILLED
Romans 5:17 says, “For if by one
man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ.”
If you have accepted Jesus as your
Lord, then you are the righteousness of God. Because of this, you have a right
to reign in life. For many Christians, life is reigning over them because they
have not had their minds renewed to God’s Word. When adversity comes, they
don’t have the will to win, simply because they don’t know that they have a
right to win.
Christians who know their rights in
Christ are strong willed people. They are as Paul described in his writings:
“having done all to stand (they) stand therefore.” Some Christians still have a
tendency to think that they are unworthy and no good. They desperately need to
hear the truth about becoming established in righteousness.
Some Christians still think that God
wants them to be sick and diseased. They, too, need to have their minds renewed
to God’s Word. When symptoms come, they do not have the will to resist them
because they think that God is the one who sent them. God is the Healer! People
who don’t know the Word are people without restraint when pressure comes.
You should know that sickness and
disease are not from God. You should know that they are of Satan. You should
become so established in the Word that nobody can convince you that God is the
one who puts sickness and disease on you.
Just as you need to become
established in God’s will for your health, you need to be established in how to
overcome the trials and temptations that Satan will bring against you. As a
Christian, you need to face up to the fact that you are still in the world,
even though you are not of the world. Therefore, because Satan is in the world,
he has the ability to contact you from time to time.
You do not have to be defeated or
destroyed by those contacts. By acting on the Word, you can come through every
problem unshaken.
If the Bible says that you can do all
things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you and that you are more than a
conqueror, then I ask you, what can Satan possibly do to defeat you?
Absolutely nothing!
