Jesus wants to be your God!

That they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. Ezekiel 11:20 NKJV

I marked every place in the book of Ezekiel where God says; “And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.” That book is all marked up!

God is speaking to the people He sent into captivity. He is speaking to the remnant left in Israel.

God repeats this statement after pronouncing judgment on Israel. He uses the same words when He says He will restore Israel. God promises to do such a great work in their lives they will be moved to live in obedience to Him. He promises to bless them!

God is speaking to people who are living in bondage today. He is speaking to the remnant who live in relationship with Him today.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 NKJV

God created us to live in loving relationship with Him. He created us to love Him and be loved by Him. There is nothing God will not do to bring us into intimate relationship with Him. Jesus will use every means at His disposal to bless us!

God gave us free will. He will not violate it. He will allow us the freedom to receive or reject His love. God gave us the freedom to love Him or withhold our love from Him!

God’s love for you is so great and unending He demonstrated it by sacrificing His one and only Son for you. Jesus who knew no sin became sin to bring you back into a loving relationship with God the Father!

Jesus will use every trial hardship sorrow sin and failure as only He can to lead you into His loving presence!

The final decision is yours and yours alone. Will you receive God’s great love and love Him? Will you allow God to mold you and shape you into the person He created you to be?

Allow God to bring you back into loving relationship with Him. Don’t wait. Turn to Jesus today. He is waiting for you!

In the quietness of your own heart ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. God is waiting to show you how much He loves you!

Jesus wants you to show Him how much you love Him. Say it out loud right now. Lord Jesus I love you!

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!

Jesus wants to be your God!
