Happy Saturday!
Geni began to pack
and move some things into her new apartment tonight. She has a lovely two bedroom 1 1/2 bath with
a living room, dining room, kitchen a small fenced backyard and a tiny front
yard. Bruce is the maintenance man for
the entire apartment edition. He says
she has nice neighbors and it is only 5 minutes from our house. We are excited for her as she is going forth
with her life in such a wonderful and positive way, but we will miss her. I pray we have taught her well, that she has
learned from our mistakes and that she will always remember where home is.
Prayer: “Father, I thank You that I can live in
victory today because You defeated the devil at Calvary, and he no longer has
authority over my life because I belong to You.
I claim deliverance from anything that would keep me from living in the
victory of the Cross. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
“But deliver us from the evil one.”
Luke 11: 4c
How appropriate that
this verse of scripture is in my meditation over the Memorial Day weekend. Wars are usually fought over these two
reasons; people are in bondage to something and they are in need of
deliverance. Some wars are very decisive
in their outcomes that somebody wins and somebody loses. In wars between
nations each is looking for a clear and decisive victory over the enemy
As believers we have
an Enemy whose name is Satan. He has a plan to place each of us in bondage so
that we are ineffective in the practice of our faith. In today’s verse we pray for deliverance
based on the fact that we fight from the viewpoint of victory but not for victory. Our victory has already been won in the death
of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection.
Satan has already been defeated because he could have never predicted
the outcome of the Cross. This fact
alone must really hack Satan off. Satan will be forever cast away from the
divine presence of God and his humiliation will be public, painful and
eternal. Satan can do nothing to change
that outcome.
Our deliverance has
already been won and we are not bound by Satan because Christ has already defeated the
enemy in the lives of we who believe.
Take joy in the
journey. Wear comfortable shoes and get
some sleep. Count your blessings
including a special thanksgiving for those around us who were willing to give
their time and their lives for our deliverance.
Remember to say your prayers.
Love you all, Bruce, Gaylene, Geni and Travis.
I
am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by
what I believe and I believe God.
