October 5: VICTORY

Believe it:

…in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39

Live it:

We can learn three lessons from today’s text.
1. Spiritual powers cannot separate us from God’s love. The apostle Paul’s list is impressive. These are not insignificant forces of human origin; they are great powers held by angels, demons, and other sources. The glue that keeps us connected to God is named Jesus. With Him it is impossible to lose your connection.
2. Life’s situations cannot separate us from God’s love. Death or life, whatever you’re going through or may go through later, nothing can separate you from the love of God. Sometimes the devil brings situations that may seem to separate us from God’s love. But remember that worry doesn’t solve anything. God does.
3. Things of the world cannot separate us from God’s love. When temptation comes your way and Satan tries to separate you from your relationship with God, you can say:

·         No.

·         I am free in Christ.

·         Thank you, Jesus, for the victory.

My prayer today: for members of the church who perhaps have become discouraged and have stopped attending

-Pray that God will help them return to church during the series.

-Pray for God to heal any wounds, pain, or resentment they might be experiencing towards the church.
