There is
no trial, difficulty or challenge we face today that our Lord Jesus cannot
identify with. The moment we experience a trial, right there and then, because
He “was
in all points tempted as we are”, He feels it too and is able to
sympathise with our weaknesses.
Compassion With Action
Hebrews 4:15
15For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

It Is Done: HE IS RISEN
John 19:30
30So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
30So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
What
do you see when it comes to healing for your sick body, restoration for your
failing marriage or breakthroughs for your financial woes? Do you see a
finished work or a work that is yet to be completed?
God
wants you to know that what you desperately need Him to do for you has already
been done! Jesus’ finished work at the cross so satisfied the Father’s heart that
from heaven’s throne came the pronouncement, “It is done!” (Revelation 16:17) in
response to Jesus’ cry on earth, “It is finished!” So God wants you to
have this revelation that whatever you need Him to do for you has been done
because Jesus has accomplished it all for you.
He lived to die, that you might live and enjoy life abundantly today.
Born To Die
Luke 2:12
12And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.
12And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.
You are probably familiar with the story of
Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. The Bible says that when the time had come, Mary “brought forth
her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a
manger”. (Luke 2:6–7) But have you ever wondered why the angel told
the shepherds that the Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger
was a “sign”?
Behold The Glory of Jesus In You
Behold The Glory of Jesus In You
2 Corinthians 3:18
18But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
When you look in a mirror, what do you see? Of course, you
see yourself.
Beloved, God does not want you to see yourself in the natural
— small, troubled, weak, sick, broke and a loser. God wants you to see yourself
the way He sees you — healed, strong, rich, whole and complete, because Christ
is in you. (Colossians 1:27)
You Are God’s Beloved
Ephesians 1:6
… 6to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
… 6to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
At the Jordan river, Jesus heard His Father
say to Him, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” (Luke
3:22) Later, in the wilderness, Jesus heard the devil say to Him, “If You are
the Son of God…” (Luke 4:3)
Believe First And You Will See
Believe First And You Will See
Matthew
8:13
13… as you have believed, so let it be done for you…
13… as you have believed, so let it be done for you…
Some
people say, “How can I believe it when I don’t see it? But if I can see or feel
something, I may just believe that something is happening!”
The
woman with the issue of blood who came to Jesus could have felt the same way.
For 12 long years, she had gone from one doctor to another, trying to find
every conceivable cure they could offer. She not only grew worse, but ended up
losing all her money to those doctors and their “cures”.
Be Anxious For Nothing
Philippians 4:6–7
6Be anxious for
nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let
your requests be made known to God; 7and the peace of
God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
When faced with a challenge or crisis, our tendency is to get all
anxious about it. But God does not want us to react this way. He does not want
us to be anxious about anything. Instead, whatever the problem is, He wants us to
go to Him in prayer and supplication, telling Him what we need and thanking Him
for the answer. When we do that, His peace, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard our hearts and minds from all worries, anxieties and fears.
Always See Christ’s Obedience At The Cross
Always See Christ’s Obedience At The
Cross
2 Corinthians 10:5
5Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
5Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
Have you ever felt condemned because of the
bad thoughts you’ve had? You could be in the middle of worshipping God when
suddenly a sinful thought enters your mind. Actually, the devil is the one who
puts these thoughts in your mind. Then he steps back, looks at you and knocks
you on your head, saying, “How can you call yourself a Christian when you think
such thoughts?”
YOUR WORDS CARRY POWER
Ecclesiastes 8:4
4Where the word of a king is, there is
power.
In
biblical times, a king’s word carried tremendous power. What he decreed would
come to pass. If he said, “Raise taxes,” the taxes were raised.
Do
you know that we are kings? The Bible tells us that Jesus has washed us from
our sins with His blood and made us kings. (Revelation 1:5–6) And as kings in
Christ, our words carry power too.
When
we place our hands on a sick person and say, “Be healed,” the person is healed!
When we lay hands on our children and say, “Be blessed,” our children are
blessed! For there is power in our words — the words of kings!
A WAY OF ESCAPE
Psalm
23:5
5You prepare a table before me in the
presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
The
table is set. The bread and wine are there, and Jesus says to you, “Come, my
child, partake.” But you tell Him, “Lord, I am unworthy!” You are also afraid
to come because you have been taught that if you partake in your “unworthy”
state, you will come under God’s fiery judgment!
