Would you approach your journey, the roles you are given,
your job or jobs, career or tasks, your relationships differently if you knew
how each of them would turn out?
Well I’m going to let you in on a little secret…we win!
Over two thousand years ago, long before any of our
ancestors were born, someone that knew all about us gave His life for us. This
person knew every thought we would think, every word we would speak, and every
step we would take. He knew everything that we would do, the good, the bad, the
illegal, and the immoral. He knew the victories and the pitfalls that would
come our way. In spite of all each of us would do that was contrary to who He
is, He knew us, He saw us, He forgives us and He loves us.
To hear more about God’s unconditional love for us I
recommend you get a copy of my spoken word track, I knew You.
God wants us to know that the time has come for us to take
our rightful place in His kingdom. He wants us to recognize who we are and
whose we are. He wants us to walk in the victory that He willingly gave His
life for us to have.
We are not worthy in ourselves of His great sacrifice, but
His grace enables us to receive the sacrifice and justifies our worthiness
through His shed blood. When we ignore, or refuse to accept His sacrifice we
commit a huge injustice.
You may say, well I do recognize Christ died for me. Are
you living in victory, or are you living in defeat? Do you have the same mind that is in Christ
Jesus? If you are walking around doubting your victory, saying I can’t do this
and I can’t do that. If you are saying you don’t know how you will make it, but
will not say “Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief,” then you are refusing to
accept Christ’s sacrifice.
We live in a carnal body with carnal thoughts, so of course
when there is a physical ailment, or when the enemy sends his fiery darts
towards our mind there will be times when we may think or even say ‘this is too
much.’ But even during those times, even when things seem to be impossible we
still have hope. That hope is our ever present help. That hope and that help is
Jesus.
You see, Jesus is never further away from us than we are from ourselves.
What does that mean? It means He lives within us, so He is always present, and
nothing can separate us from His love, which is Him.
Paul said in Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
