Sword Fighting Class – No Condemnation

On By Judy GlasserIn Sword Fighting ClassLeave a comment

Our Sword Fighting classes are all about helping us to memorize God’s word.  Then he can clearly speak to us when we don’t have a Bible in front of us.  He can also transform our thinking by removing the old lies and etching his words of truth on our minds.

We just finished Proverbs 2 and 3 – what a blessing!Romans 8; 1-9

And now we start Romans 8.  You may have memorized a verse here or there in Romans 8 but we’re going for the whole chapter.  This is definitely a God-sized task because this wording is tough.  I’m glad God has promised he’ll do his part if we do our’s.  Here’s the first verse:

“Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus’.

What an awesome promise!  Jesus paid the price so we didn’t have to.  Because  we can’t.  Only he could.

If we are ever in a dark place, smothered by guilt, this is a great verse to say over and over.  Because the Evil One uses guilt to keep us down, to keep us focused on our failures.  If he can keep us feeling guilty, we aren’t living in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Guilt comes from Satan.  Conviction and the desire to repent – turn away from the sin – comes from the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for your power and grace, Dear Father.

 

Clothed with Power…..

Nov 19 2 2013that’s what we are.

That’s who we are when we’re born again, washed clean by Jesus’ sacrifice for us and recharged by the divine power of the Holy Spirit living within us.

This power clothes us on the inside.  It covers our hearts so we can really know and experience the unconditional love that God has for it.

It covers our minds as the Holy Spirit transforms old, hurtful habits into new, Godly habits.  Impossible hopes that we had before now have become possible because of God’s ability to intervene in our lives.

This power covers our souls as each new day of our eternal live with our Father God begins.

We have been clothed with the power of our Living God and Jesus asks us to use this power for his purposes here on earth. 

Who will we meet today that needs to experience some of God’s love flowing through us?  Or do they need to hear a part of our story about how the Holy Spirit has transformed us?  Or do they need to accept salvation today so that their eternal life with God can start?

We have the power. 

God asks us to use it today.

Thank you, dear God.
