(a chapter from my book, Nothing is Impossible)
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. [Psalm 89:14 NLT] Where God reigns, you will find righteousness and justice. Injustice is not from God. Idolatry and apostasy are not from God. Idolatry and apostasy will not bless you. They do the opposite. The enemy does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. Jesus came so that we may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly. [John 10:10 NKJV] The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. Jesus’ purpose is to give each of us a rich and satisfying life. [John 10:10 NLT] How does the enemy get into our lives? The enemy enters via the gates of sin, idolatry and apostasy. The remedy: Jesus made a way for us to be forgiven of all our sins. Once forgiven, we can go forth into the future and sin no more. Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; And His mercies endure forever. [1 Chronicles 16:34 NIV] Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. [Psalm 100:4-5 NIV] Praise the LORD, all you nations. Praise Him, all you people of the earth. For His unfailing love for us is powerful; the LORD’s faithfulness endure forever. [Psalm 117:1-2 NLT]
In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.
Thank You, LORD GOD, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
