Day 3 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

“Life in Christ!”

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and quit.  We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
.
“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken.” I know for many of us, this statement truly hits to the heart of us. I may not know exactly what you are going through in this hour or season, but for those who seek to be righteous for the Lord, there is always some form of trouble that is coming at you from every direction. Even when we feel like we have been crushed or defeated, our Faith is always reaffirmed in God. I know many times we get tired and feel like we are not living up to the standards of the Lord, but do not lose heart, because the Lord knows our sincere motives to serve Him. “We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and quit.” It is so easy to give up. The devil is constantly putting obstacles in your way to tell you that you can’t live this life for Christ or that it is impossible to fully obtain the Vision God put on your Heart. If we gave in every time the enemy told us we could not accomplish something, we would have failed years ago.
.
“We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going.” This is the Life that we have chosen. The day you accepted Jesus as your Lord and savior in your life, you chose a side against evil. We have a real enemy and for those who do not know, we are always in spiritual warfare. There is nothing fair about what goes on in life, but with the strength of the Lord, we can make a change for the better. No where in the bible does it says that this walk would be easy, but the race is worth the prize. We may stumble, Fall or even get knocked down, but Jesus is always there with his hand ready to pick us back up again.

Day 2 Colossians 3:12-14

Clothed in Love

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love which binds them all together in perfect unity.” (Colossians 3:12-14)

“Therefore, as God’s Chosen people…” by this line alone we are called to rejoice. For we were once an enemy to the Lord; but by the Blood of Jesus, we have became God’s Chosen. As God’s Chosen, we are called to be Clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness humility, gentleness and patience. Now, I many will read this and go along with your day, but there is a deeper meaning the Lord wants you to understand. What does it mean when you “Clothe” yourself? Well it is just the same as when you get up in the morning to dress for work. It is one thing to forget your belt or even your wallet in morning; but to show up to your job without any clothing on, would be just crazy! But this is the point Paul was trying to get across. Everyday, before we leave the house, we should clothe ourselves with the righteous qualities of the Lord. God wants us clothe with these qualities for a very important reason.
 
“Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love which binds them all together in perfect unity.” We are all called to forgive, because you have been forgiven. Forgiveness of the Heart only comes when you are clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. But Paul says, “Over all these virtues put on love which binds them all together in perfect unity.” Beloved, let Love be the standard of the Day. Every morning you wake, my prayers be that you are Clothe in all these virtues and that forgiveness is in your Heart. With all these things together, you will find that you are in perfect unity with the Will of the Lord. Clothe yourself in Love and watch the Peace of Christ reign in your life today.

Day 1 John 19:30

“The Power of The Cross”
“When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”. John 19:30
The Power of the Cross is the Center of Our Message to the world. The foolishness that a God who knew no beginning or end would manifest himself into Flesh for our sake can never be truly understood. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice so that we may be obedient to His ways. I thank the Lord that he Bore all my sin and made himself an offering so that I may taste eternity and forgiveness. We were made in God’s image and that is something the world will always try and take away from you. All hell seeks to destroy everyone up to the Cross, but when they come to that place where Jesus Bleed was spilled, they find they cannot cross over into the place our Father has for us. That is why we say these things, through Christ, Jesus is the only way to Heaven. If there was any other way, Satan would enter in. Jesus Conquered Satan and bound the strong man so he could no longer keep us bound to the gates of hell.
.
Lord put it in my heart that no Man could ever understand freedom until he receives this Cross centered message. We must understand that Jehovah stand outside of Time and Space that makes up our existence. It is through the Cross that we enter into a place where Our Lord Dwells. We Plead the Blood not only to cleanse, but to enter into the Place where the Holy of Holies shall dwell. We preach forgiveness, because only but then shall we be cleanse of sin. From this day forth, I shall preach the Cross and the promises for this Generation in Jesus Name!
