Spring is in the air and the season of our Savior’s victory is upon us!

4/18/2019

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its bud, As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. Isaiah 61:10-11 NKJV

Jesus is speaking to you today. He is saying, My dear child, I love you!

I, Myself, I have saved you! I restored you. I have healed you. Abide in Me, and I will abide in you. You are My child. You are my beloved!

God is speaking to you today if you have surrendered your life to Jesus. He is speaking to you today if you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior!

If you are not sure if Jesus is speaking to you, you can be sure. If you are not sure where you will spend eternity you can be.

Simply call out to Jesus. Call out to Jesus out of a sincere desire to know Him. Call out to Jesus out of a desire to know His great love for you in an intimate personal way. Call out to the One who is truth to reveal truth to you!

Ask Jesus Christ the Eternal Son of God to come into your life as your Lord and Savior. Jesus will cover you with garments of salvation. He will cover you with His robe of righteousness!

Spring is in the air. The earth is made new. The season of our Savior’s victory is upon us. God’s greatest desire is to make you a new creation!

Maybe you know the Lord. You have walked with Jesus. Your life may be filled with trials and troubles. You may have taken your eyes off the Lord. Perhaps you have slipped into the sea of sorrows. You may have taken on garments of mourning.

Turn you gaze back to Jesus. Rejoice in the Lord. Jesus’ victory over sin and death is your victory over sin, self and suffering!

I once turned back to the sin God delivered me from. I was stuck in the mud of shame. I was wallowing in the dirt of depravity. I heard a pastor say it was resurrection Sunday. He said I could be resurrected to newness of life in Jesus Christ!

I walked into the arms of my Savior. I was filled with joy. I accepted the Lord’s garments of salvation. Jesus covered me with a robe of righteousness. Praise sprang forth from my heart. Jesus’ love renewed my soul!

Jesus wants His love to blossom in your heart. He wants joy to spring forth from your soul. Receive His garments of salvation. Put on His robe of righteousness by faith today!

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!

Spring is in the air and the season of our Savior’s victory is upon us!
