Colossians 2:9,10 - "For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority."

Does that sound like a description of some pitiful, poor weakling that can barely make ends meet? No!. It's a description of the child of the King.

God is moving all over the Earth. Stay with Him. Stay in the Word. Every day affirm and meditate on those scriptures that show us our inheritance in Jesus' finished work of the cross and our sonship in Him. It is our job to keep the Word of our redemption hot and alive in our spirits and minds.

It's God's business to meet our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19) and it is our mission to advance His Kingdom, bearing fruit that remains through our Christ calling, thereby, moving the Great Commission forward.

1 Thessalonians 4:13 - "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are asleep, that you SORROW NOT, even as others who have no hope…Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again…"

We have seen grief and sorrow as such a natural part of life that we haven't even questioned them -- there are times when we actually want to feel sad and sorry for ourselves. But grief and sorrow are dangerous things. The force behind these emotions are actually spirit beings sent by the devil himself to kill, steal, and destroy.

Jesus bore grief and sorrow (Isaiah 53) so we wouldn't have to. If they come knocking on your door, remember they are not innocent emotions. They are deadly enemies that Jesus carried away at Calvary. Don't live as those who have no hope. You're a believer. You know that Jesus Christ died for you and rose again -- it gives you hope in every situation. Sorrow not!

Affirmations:

My zeal and passion is rising in a new way.

God is advancing me ahead -- even into a place of glory to glory as I move forward in my Christ calling.

I have no fear of new waters and an uncharted course!
