Rom 7:24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.

THANK GOD! Now this is truly an understatement. We have so much to be thankful for, I don't know where to start. Oh yes I do! The ANSWER! Paul said the answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord!

Jesus the one who went to the cross to offer Himself as a sacrifice for our sins. Jesus who went to the whipping post and bore those stripes on His body so our bodies could be healed. Jesus who supplies all of our needs according to His riches and glory. Jesus who gives us peace, Jesus who gives us hope, Jesus who gives us everything we need in this life and throughout eternity with Him. Psalm 72:18 Praise the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does such wonderful things.19 Praise His glorious name forever! Let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen!

That is the greatest amen of all. So be it, how great and glorious is our GOD! Cast your imagination on this and your whole outlook on everything will change. He tells us in Isaiah 57:13 whoever trusts in Him will inherit the land and possess His Holy mountain. Can you imagine that instead of imagining how bad the Devil is kicking your butt. He says in verse 18 He restores the crushed spirit of the humble and He revives courage in those with a repentant heart. Isn't that great? He restores, He revives! Imagine that in your mind that tells you, you are whipped, broke, busted, disgusted and half dead. Laugh out loud at the Devil and tell him the truth about who and whose you are! He knows it already and that's why you are going through it, But tell him anyway, put a big bug in his ear by telling him JESUS CHRIST is MY LORD!

But oh wait! Isn't that too radical? Isn't that too brash? NO! That's faith! That is faith! Faith is a good thing! You don't have to listen to the lies of the enemy of your soul! 2 Corinthians 10:4 We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. We need to break the human thinking and reasoning of our minds that defeats our soul. We need to cast down anything in our hearts and minds that would argue against Gods word of promise to us. Cast them down and crush them because the body of Christ was crushed for you. Capture your thoughts, quit rebelling against Gods word for his word is true. Discipline Your heart and Your mind to walk in union with GOD or you will end up like an Isaiah 56:11 man or woman, greedy dog, never satisfied, ignorant of GOD and His will. Following your own path, your own desire, setting your own limits. But with GOD all things are possible. So why be satisfied with what you can do when you serve the GOD who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Fix your thoughts on things that are true, honorable,right, pure, lovely,admirable, things that are excellent and worthy of praise(Philippians 4:8). Guard your hearts and minds as you live your life in Christ.

  1. I really enjoyed what you have written. When we say that JESUS CHRIST is our LORD, I agree with you, for that is not . . . too radical!!!

    There have been many of times when I have called upon the name of my LORD JESUS, and people have backed away!!!

    God Bless you!!!
