When you are going through a season of drought, of doubt, of dread, go back to Jesus. Jesus remains faithful when we are not. He continually goes to the Father for us in prayer, in protection, in power. When Satan tempts you or tries to defeat you with emotional pain or anxious thoughts, remain above it in Christ.
We are no longer condemned! We are free from sin, once, for all. Keep the thoughts of your salvation close at hand as a constant reminder of what we have now and forever. The armor of God includes the helmet of salvation (Ephesians 6) The peace and hope salvation brings guards our thoughts and keeps our minds calm and free.
Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died-more than that, who was raised to life-is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Romans 8:34
Feeling condemned or overwhelmed? You are a precious child of God, dearly loved. You are already seated in the heavenly realms forever. Live out this short life in victory. You are saved! You are free! Jesus, the all-in-all is praying for you.
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent Me. John 17;20
Jesus prays for the Father for all believers. Why? “so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.” What an honor that He uses us so that others may believe!
Father,
We thank You for giving us the honor of sharing the love You gave us in Your Son, Jesus. It is impossible to imagine Him praying for us and protecting us and allowing us to preach the good news. We praise You today.
In Jesus name,
Amen
