Secure in God's Holy Salvation

 

The Cross of Jesus Christ was the supreme plan and work of Almighty God from before the beginning. The truth of the cross continues to be the supreme power for redeemed souls saved by God's grace. Satan believes that he can derail Christ's mission through His beloved church. Yet, Satan's deception does not allow him to see that the saint who clings to the truth of the cross is as secure in God's holy salvation as Christ was on His way to Calvary's tree (Phil. 1:6)

Put On The Helmet of Salvation

 

For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak.
Isaiah 59:17 NKJV

But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 NKJV

The enemy’s thoughts aim to impact your soul—your mind, will, and emotions. The enemy’s fiery darts work to reason your mind out of God’s protection, bend your will away from His plans, and send you on the emotional roller coaster called instability. Your mind commands your body, so if your mind falters in the attack, the enemy can paralyze you.

Through faith in Jesus Christ, you are saved, you are being saved, and you will be saved. . . . The Greek word for salvation can mean “welfare,prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, or safety.” That covers just about every area the enemy works to kill, steal and destroy. When you are settled that God is your Savior, the devil’s mind traffic hits a red light.

Scripture Of The Day-Spiritual Nourishment

 

 Scriptures to Nourish Your Soul In More Ways Than One

 

 

Give us this day our daily bread.

Matthew 6:11 NKJV

 

So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

Deuteronomy 8:3 NKJV

 

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

John 6:35 NKJV

 

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

1 Peter 2:1-3 NKJV

 

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—The sure mercies of David.

Isaiah 55:1-3 NKJV

Follow God's Will

 

When we listen to the Father and follow His will for our lives, we get His very best. It’s that simple. And we’ll experience the greatest joy and fulfillment imaginable because we’ll be living out the very reasons for which we were created.

Trusting God Despite Your Pain

 

 

We all want God to take us out of our pain and sweep away the difficult circumstances of life, but trusting Him in the midst of the pain and trials is like plugging the light bulb of our heart into the most powerful electrical outlet in the universe. Spreading our wings of faith and allowing the wind of the Spirit to fill us in like spreading the sails of our souls and receiving the necessary power to sail right through the storms and waves of our trials. Recognizing and believing His great passion for us is like a stack of wood being consumed in a fireplace that warms all those who come in contact with it. Trust God today in ways you may not have thought of and see if there is not a power surge in your soul.

Don't Be Ashamed

 

 

 

God intended shame as a means of turning the human heart to see its need for a Savior. The enemy on the other hand, uses shame to keep the human heart in bondage to sin. 

~From Daily Devotions for Kingdom Seekers, Vol. 1 by Dennis Jernigan

 

Remember you belong to Christ. You abide in Him. There is no condemnation, no shame.

To Be A True Disciple of Christ

 

 

 

 

The true disciple of Jesus Christ will feel like he/she is swimming against the current in the world in which we live. There will be numerous tactics Satan uses to try to discourage Christians in their relationship with God. Some of those tactics may include doubt, loneliness, disappointments, self-hatred, unforgiveness or maybe a physical ailment. . . . If you're undergoing attacks from the devil that means he still considers you a threat to his plan. . . . A dying of our selfish flesh is necessary in order for Christ to live fully through us.
