Jesus wants you to draw strength from Him!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 NKJV

I commuted forty-five minutes to work. The drive became a time of rich communion with Jesus. The Spirit of God was with me. God spoke to me through His Word.

I wanted to share the things Jesus showed me. God gave me the idea of sending out e-mails. The first e-mail was sent to fifteen people anonymously in June of 2007. Today Joyfor2day Daily Devotional is read by thousands around the world.

The ministry of JFT is to encourage people. The internet can be used for good or evil. I want you to be reminded of the goodness, mercy and grace of God. My desire is for you to be reminded of God’s great love for you!

You will receive e-mails designed to draw you away from Jesus. God owns cyberspace. He will be glorified in it and through it!

JFT wants to reach people who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior with the message of Salvation. God will redeem the lost. He will use cyberspace to do it!

God called me His servant. He said I would be His witness. I knew I would serve Jesus in ministry. I began to grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord. Each time I attempted to step out in faith I allowed my weakness to get in the way.

God can use us despite our weakness. God can and will do great and mighty things in us and through us. When we are tripped up by the little foxes that spoil the vine Jesus wants us to get back up and continue seeking Him. Jesus wants us to follow Him. If we think it is us doing the work we have missed the point!

God calls each of us who have surrendered our hearts and lives to Jesus His servants. We are all His witnesses. We are all called to serve Jesus!

Jesus lives in us and through us by His Spirit. Jesus is not calling us to be spiritual superstars. He is not calling us to do anything in our own strength or wisdom. Jesus is calling us to step out in faith and trust Him to accomplish good works through us!

Serving Jesus could mean sharing the Word of God through modern forms of media. You could stand before large crowds and call people to repentance. It could be as simple as sharing resources with others and encouraging people in a season of uncertainty!

What can you and I do for Jesus?

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. You can do all things through Jesus Christ because He strengthens you!

Jesus wants you to experience His great love today. He wants to encourage you today. Jesus wants you to draw strength from Him every day. Jesus also wants you to help others do the same!

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!

Jesus wants you to draw strength from Him!
