The promise below is amazing promise and very important for the Body of Christ
in the world today. Jesus said that by the power of the Holy Spirit we
would be able to do even more than He did when He was on Earth. In the
revival that began around the late fifties more and more people have
learned about and practiced healing prayer and deliverance prayer in
Christ Jesus. These are the signs that God's Reign has truly been
established on Earth.
We are living in the "already, but not yet" time -- so that as many people will choose to answer God's invitation in Jesus Christ to be part of the Reign of God and the Children of God -- and so that we can take part in sharing God's love in Jesus Christ in tangible ways with everyone we meet.
We are living in the "already, but not yet" time -- so that as many people will choose to answer God's invitation in Jesus Christ to be part of the Reign of God and the Children of God -- and so that we can take part in sharing God's love in Jesus Christ in tangible ways with everyone we meet.
It is so wonderful to be led by the Holy Spirit and to know God and
Jesus . . . to love and serve the Lord by loving and serving the people
who are in our lives.
When we begin by recognizing hat God is the Creator, the only true God and that Jesus is His only begotten Son -- the Messiah, God Incarnate -- Emmanuel: God With Us . . . And we accept God's invitation to receive the salvation offered to each and every human being, we begin a life of wholeness that will never end.
And what joy we have to be able to share that love with everyone in our lives!
There is so much pain in the world. People have so many needs, and there are so many ways we can help. If we just help out of our human strength we will be worn out. But if we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us, the Lord will do so much more than we can on our own.
May the Lord continue to bless and keep you and yours, Beloved, now and always.
From 365 Daily Promises by Barry Adams --
"I will give you my power to destroy spiritual strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
"For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;"
Promise #291: I will give you My power to destroy spiritual strongholds.
In yesterday's promise from Exodus 14:14, I talked about the importance of us learning to be still and watch the Lord fight on our behalf. In today's promise from 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, we are seeing a different facet to the same diamond. In this passage of Scripture, the Apostle Paul is exhorting us to learn how to partner with the Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent power that resides in us that will empower us to demolish every spiritual stronghold in our lives.
Paul clearly reminds us that we do not wage warfare like the world does. We have the power of the living God in us that is mighty to save. Our part in this battle is to bring into captivity every thought that opposes the knowledge of God. But just like I said yesterday, we need to understand that we cannot do this in our own strength, for the battle is the Lord's.
We are called in Romans 12:2 to not be conformed to this world, but rather transformed by the renewing of the mind. Our unredeemed thought life will never be in agreement with the mind of Christ. The only way to deal with an unredeemed thought is to take it captive to the obedience of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit that lives within us.
So the next time that a negative, condemning, self-centered, unredeemed thought comes into your mind, be encouraged to know that God has given you power by His Spirit to take that thought and make it come into submission to the Lordship of Christ. It is Christ in you that is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27) and it is His plan that we all be transformed into His image with ever increasing glory, as we behold His face one day at a time. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
