GOD: I Promised To Be For You, Who Can Be Against You
128th BDS – 6/6/2024
Scripture Reference: Romans 8:30-31
“Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8:30-31 KJV
As a Child of GOD I can testify without any hesitation of the many battles that He has won for me and even now still is “making my enemies my footstool”. I’m not speaking of those solely in human form, but also those pesky sins that creep around the corner, those thoughts that creep into my mind of unworthiness and those heart issues that try to take root to spring up in my garden of personal peace. Yes, I’m battling too!
“For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
Mark 12:36 KJV
Which means that under the protection of our One True and Living GOD, we have a Grand Champion who has never been defeated and never will! He has already defeated death, the grave and hell itself!
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 15:55-58 KJV
Final Thought: I don’t know about you, but being under the shadow of The Almighty is exactly where I want to remain. Think about all of the situations that we have found ourselves in, the folks that have intended to harm us and bury our names in the dirt both openly and secretly, even the way our GOD has shielded us from death itself whether in sickness, violent attacks and/or automobile accidents, just to name a few. To top it all off, through His Holy Spirit even if we die before JESUS returns, we will conquer the very grave that our families and friends laid us to rest in! Oh yes, so our living in and through Him absolutely guarantees us the victory.. the same victory that He himself won when after 3 days in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, He got up with all power in His Hands! So let your enemies take their best shot, call it all joy when you’re hated, invite all the smoke from the jealous types, even speak over your life that no sins will have the rule over your heart, your mind nor your soul! Our GOD IS with us, He is for us and He alone is better than the entire World against us!!!
“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
Romans 6:12-14 KJV
