God Revealed To Our Hearts By The Holy Spirit Is Powerful
In an instant, years of sin, hurt, insecurity, addiction can be miraculously melted away.
Born again Christians can confirm this freedom from the bondage of the enemy.
But it doesn’t stop there… there’s a road to maturity we need to walk.
This “road” deals with us… who we are, how we think, how we react. It shapes Godly character within us.
This process is often not instant or easy but it’s in this process the “spiritual man” is formed.
The Lord allows situations to happen that test us… that we can even say bring suffering in us… but don’t resist… accept with the attitude of heart that the Lord be glorified through it… by our response and by the fruit in our lives that’s produced from it.
Right here this sounds to many like “another gospel”… but it’s the original work of the cross… that we seldom hear anymore because we’re too consumed by our blessings, books and programmes that we’ve substituted for real Christian maturity.
Today, let’s allow the power of God to work in us… that even through these tough situations the Lord be glorified.

Colossians 3:17
New International Version
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
What Are You Thankful For?
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:18
No matter what you face, God’s goodness and mercy will never leave you. In fact, He even prepares blessings for you in the middle of hard seasons. But these truths aren’t always easy to remember, which is why giving thanks matters.
Gratitude helps us focus on the only One who is able to turn our problems around for His glory and our good. So right now, let’s take a minute to pause and thank God for all He’s done in our lives.
A Prayer Of Thanks
God, You are good, and Your steadfast love endures forever! Even in the hardest seasons, I always have a reason to worship You.
Thank You for giving me victory and abundant life in Jesus Christ! Although I don’t deserve it, You shower me with unconditional love and forgiveness.
And so no matter what the future may hold, I will shout for joy because You are with me. You comfort me and bless me in the presence of my enemies. Nothing compares to You and no weapon can stand against You. In all things, I am more than a conqueror through You!
Be glorified through me, God. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart bless Your name.
I want my life to bring You praise.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
