Day of Praise

Tues, 08/01/17, "Day of Praise" 

Yesterday was one of those days that many faithful followers of Jesus told me that they felt the evil one coming at them with every weight, wile, and deception. So, I thought I'd resend this little reminder of the fact that every believer and follower of Jesus does indeed get Satan's best shot on a regular basis. But every believer and follower of Jesus also walks in the full authority and power of the sovereign and victorious living God through faith in Jesus Christ and the power of Holy Spirit. So, let's go into the day, Friends, in the strength and power of The One who alone is Lord of all and over all. To God be the glory!!!

Here's the deal! 

"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us." - 2 Corinthians 5:20 

You are the story today. 

Look in the mirror sometime today, and read the following script. 

"____(your name)____ is our top story today. In an amazing turnaround, ____(your name)____, who used to be an enemy of Almighty God because of her/his sinful nature, is now, believe it or not, an ambassador of the very same God. Because of his/her faith in God's Son, Jesus, ____(your name)____ now lives and walks into every situation with the full authority, power, and benefits of the Living God. This turn of events all started when God sent his Son to restore harmony to His relationship with ____(your name)____ by trading places with ____(your name)____. God's Son took the place of ____(your name)____ on the shameful death instrument of a cross, which publicly humiliates and tortures to death anyone who is so audacious as to challenge the One who is rightfully in authority. However, even the worst death could not keep its hold on God's Son, since, in actuality, he himself had done nothing wrong. Therefore, God's Son broke free from death, rose from the grave, and now lives at God's hand of blessing. And, because ____(your name)____ has fellowship with God's Son through faith in Him, 
____(your name)____ also has the indwelling and power of God's Holy Spirit available to her/him if she/he will ask God to give it each day. So blessed is ____(your name)____, that ____(your name)____ shares with God's Son both in the good standing that the Son has with the Father and also in every blessing that streams from God's hand. We will continue to follow this story, as we are all interested to see the new confidence that ____(your name)____ has while meeting the challenges and enjoying the peace-filled moments of this new day." 

Praise God!
