So, he answered and said to me: This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel; Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, Says the Lord of hosts. Zechariah 4:6 NKJV

Jesus has plans for you!

God wants to bless you and prosper you in ways you do even know. The Lord wants to use you to bless and prosper other people in ways they do not yet know.

God created you for His glory. The Lord created you to pull down the strongholds of the enemy. God wants to demolish vain imaginations which exalt themselves against the knowledge of Jesus. What does that mean?

The Lord wants to deliver people from bondage to unbelief. Jesus wants to open blind eyes and set prisoners free just as He did in the days of His earthly sojourn.

God loves you with an everlasting love. He wants you to share His love with people who do not know Jesus. The Lord wants you to know Jesus Christ and make Him known to the world. God has chosen to reveal Himself to the world through you!

We do not worship an impersonal power source that triggered a chain of creative events. We worship a personal God who loves us. Our Heavenly Father wants us to partner with Him as He rules and reigns over His creation in love.

God does not expect us to accomplish great and mighty things on our own. We are not little gods. Jesus wants us to give ourselves over to Him so He can do great and mighty things in us and through us.

We are holy warriors in God’s army. The weapons of our warfare are love, humility, and submission to Jesus.

Jesus is conducting a rescue operation. He is taking back everything the enemy has stolen. All of creation will be restored to perfection in God’s perfect time.

The enemy has taken captives. Jesus is opening prison gates. Deceiving spirits are teaching false doctrine. Jesus is opening blind eyes. Satan comes to steal kill and destroy. Jesus is our promise and guarantee of eternal life!

Jesus will transform this dark and dangerous world. Wars and rumors of wars will cease. Peace will prevail. There will be no sickness, violence, natural disasters, or crime. We will worship our King in the beauty of holiness without distraction forever!

Trust Jesus to accomplish everything God has promised to people who love and honor Him. Trust the Lord to use you in ways you could have never dreamed possible. Trust Almighty God to bring about a total transformation of creation through His Holy Spirit!

Joyfor2day daily devotional goes out over the internet to thousands of people all over the world five days a week

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

All that has been stolen from us will be restored in God’s perfect time!
