Let Jesus convince you beyond all doubt that He is the Lord your God!

And I shall not hide My face from them anymore: for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel;” says the Lord God. Ezekiel 39:29 NKJV

God chose Israel to be set apart for Him. He chose Israel to live in a special relationship with Him. Israel disobeyed God. They rebelled against Him. They served false god’s. They worshiped idols. God never stopped loving them. He never gave up on them.

God told Israel He would love them regardless of their sin. He will reveal Himself to them. The Lord will pour out His Spirit upon them. Israel will love honor and worship their God.

God told the children of Israel He would forgive their sins. He would bless them. He would protect them. They would live in a special set apart relationship with God in this age and throughout eternity in the age to come!

God is saying the same things to us. We failed to live up to the righteous standards of our God. He does not want us to be separated from Him. He wants us to live in a special set apart relationship with Him!

We have been forgiven of our sins. God will make His face shine upon us. He will pour out His Spirit upon us. Jesus will receive glory praise and honor from us.

We will love God just as we were created to love Him. We will receive His blessing and protection. We will live in a special set apart relationship with Jesus in this age and throughout eternity in the age to come!

God will bless us if we receive His salvation. God will do all the work. He does require something of us. He requires that we accept the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ for our sin.

The Lord wants us to admit that we deserve the just punishment for turning away from Him. He wants us to accept that Jesus took the punishment we deserve!

If you are not sure that you have received God’s forgiveness you can be. Ask Him to forgive you of every sin you ever committed. Surrender your life to Jesus. Ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior today!

Ask Jesus to make you a new creation. Ask Him not to hide His face from you. Ask Jesus to pour out His Spirit upon you. Ask the Lord not to leave you to yourself!

Let Jesus convince you beyond all doubt that He is the Lord your God!

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!

Let Jesus convince you beyond all doubt that He is the Lord your God!
