to me about how God’s grace has not just impacted her life but the lives of her entire family, she shared:
When I first saw you on television five years ago, I was rather skeptical. However, something about you was different. I knew in my spirit that you were teaching the true gospel. So I began watching your sermons every day, sometimes twice a day. The more I watched, the more I saw the wisdom of God on you, and the more I wanted to have a relationship with God and Jesus.
At that time, I was at a low point in my life and I was about to give up on my marriage. I was even questioning my faith and God. I didn’t realize how much I’d kept God in a box and only involved Him in certain areas of my life because I thought He was judging me.
When I finally heard the truth about the gospel, I ran with it! Never will I look back because you have taught me the true freedom that Jesus died to give me. Praise God! Once the veil was removed, I realized how righteous I really am, and God just started blessing my socks off!
My marriage has turned around and is now growing stronger. We’re going on the twelfth year in our marriage, and I thank God for the four beautiful and healthy daughters He has blessed me with. God has also promoted my husband in his career and given him a salary increase. In addition, God has recently upgraded us to an amazing neighborhood and even opened the doors to a charter school for two of my girls. He has given us so much favor because at least five hundred people are on the waiting list for this school!
And that’s not all. About a year ago, when I was watching you teach in Israel, I told the Lord quietly in my heart, “Lord, I want to go to Israel. I don’t know how I ever will, but I want it.” I never thought about the trip again until early April this year when God dropped a free trip to Israel into my lap and opened every door for me to go!
My heavenly Father has shown me that I am His daughter and that He is willing to take care of every need for the rest of my life! I did nothing to deserve it! My light is shining, and everybody wants to know what it’s all about.
Today, when you look into the mirror, what do you see? Do you see yourself trapped in all your failings, mistakes, and sins? Or do you see what God sees?
My dear friend, when God sees you today, He sees Jesus. Use your eyes of faith and believe that as Jesus is, so are you. In God’s eyes, you are accepted, you are righteous, you are favored, you are blessed, and you are healed. You are freed from all sin, all pangs of guilt, all forms of condemnation, and from every bondage of addiction! See yourself as God sees you and begin to experience His freedom and victory in every area of life.
Today’s Thought
In God’s eyes, I am righteous, I am favored, I am blessed, and I am healed.
Today’s Prayer
Father, thank You for Your Word that tells me I am accepted in Christ, the Beloved. I believe that as Jesus is beloved, righteous, favored, and full of health, strength, and wisdom, so am I today. I believe that as Jesus is free from, and high above, every disease, depression, and addiction, so is Your grace and goodness causing me to walk in the same freedom and power in every aspect of my life. Thank You, Father, for Your grace toward me. Amen.
Irreversibly Blessed
Today’s Scripture
“Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.”
N UMBERS 23:20
T ake time to reread today’s scripture. They are precious words, and they reveal how God sees you and me today. They were spoken by a prophet named Balaam, who had been hired by Balak, the king of Moab, to invoke a curse to drive his enemy, the Israelites, from his territory. However, when Balaam opened his mouth to curse, blessings from God flowed out upon the Israelites instead (see Num. 23:21–24)!
Do you know that when God blesses you, no one—no prophet, no sorcerer, and no devil—can reverse it? You are irreversibly blessed!
