Standing Firm.

As I get older I realize that its no good being passive. It's not a Godly attitude or stance to take. Passiveness in the face of evil or the enemy is plain wrong. It’s time we stand firm as followers of Jesus in the example he gave us and how he’s called us to live each day. Don’t let fear quiet you down but live out loud for the cause of Jesus.

We always need to remember that we already have the victory, in all aspects of our lives. God reminds us in His word that the sacrifice on the cross made by Jesus brings us spiritual and physical blessings.

In the Old Testament we have the great section in Isaiah prophesying about the Messiah and what his sacrifice will do for us.

The Prophet Isaiah reminds us in Isaiah 53:5, “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.”

In case some wish to leave it as simply historical His Word repeats the same in the New Testament in 1 Peter where Peter repeats, “He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right.”

It is simply not possible to deny that Christ has brought us healing in all aspects of our life both spiritual and physical. It is in him that we find wholeness and peace, centeredness and clarity. We have already won the victory in Christ Jesus. We have overcome because He was able to overcome. We need to remember that and to claim it, to command victory into our situations, always! Blessings on your journey!
