Glorious Day Devotional

You called my name, and I ran out of that grave! We as followers of Jesus can proclaim this because of who He is and what He has done. Sin doesn't just make us bad; it makes us dead. We were all in desperate need of a Savior. Not only did Jesus die for our sin, but he was raised to everlasting life! He was the first to run out of that grave, and when we trust him with our lives we are right there with him in glory—eternal life both now and forever. In John 11, Jesus raises a dead man to life, crying out at his tomb: “Lazarus, come out!” He says the same to you and to me: “_________, come out!” He knows your name, and calls you out of your grave. Get up! Unwind the grave clothes of sin and shame, you have been set free, raised to glorious life because of Jesus' resurrection. All the chains of your past and the worries for your future have been swallowed up forever in victory. Scripture says that the very same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead is living in each of us who follow Jesus. This is a reality for you today. You can therefore declare confidently that God has called your name, and Jesus has defeated whatever threatens to entangle, discourage, or thwart you from this promise today. Jesus, because of you, I have a future and my eyes are open. Thank you for calling my name! I worship you and give you glory. Let me not be taken down by apathy, entangled by old sins, or paralyzed by fear and discouragement. I believe chains break at the weight of your glory. Help me remember who you are, whose I am, and live a life that brings you glory. In your name, Amen. Based on the song Glorious Day by Jason Ingram, Jonathan Smith, Sean Curran, Kristian Stanfill.

King Of Kings Devotional

In the darkness we were waiting Without hope, without light Till from heaven You came running There was mercy in Your eyes King of Kings Words and Music by Brooke Ligertwood, Scott Ligertwood & Jason Ingram © 2019 Hillsong Music Publishing Australia & Fellow Ships Music/So Essential Tunes (admin at EssentialMusicPublishing.com) There is no doubt - we all began in darkness. In fact, the earth itself was covered in darkness, until the Creator came and spoke light and breathed life into His creation. Today, God is still breathing life into dead things. Our kind Saviour is still bringing light to dark places, hope to hopeless situations, possibility to impossible circumstances. But before we entered His light, we were in darkness. And before we knew true life, we were destined for death. And before coming awake, we were asleep. The Bible puts it like this: “You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.” Colossians 2.13 (NIV) Earlier this year our Senior Pastor, Bobbie Houston, asked the question “Do you remember the day the lights went on?” What about you? Do you remember the day you found salvation, and the weight of sin lifted off you? The day that from heaven, Jesus came running with mercy in His eyes? Ready to awaken you to all of the hope, grace, peace and joy that is life with Jesus Christ. It is our prayer that you would remember that moment. That as you listen to the songs from this new album, the lyrics would remind you that you were once in darkness but have been brought into the light – illuminated now to illuminate others. Based on the song King Of Kings by Brooke Ligertwood, Scott Ligertwood, and Jason Ingrim. Original post by Hillsong Worship available on YouVersion based on the album - Awake by Hillsong Worship.

I Speak Jesus Devotional

The power of a name is profound. It can evoke emotions, memories, and reactions. And when it comes to the name of Jesus, its potency transcends all human understanding. The song I Speak Jesus as performed by Charity Gayle captures the raw, transformative power vested in the name of our Savior. "I just wanna speak the Name of Jesus Over every heart and every mind I know there is peace within Your presence I speak Jesus." This anthem is a reminder that amidst the cacophony of life's challenges, uncertainties, and fears, there's a name that can bring peace, healing, and salvation. The song aligns seamlessly with our key scripture in Philippians, where the apostle Paul expounds on the unparalleled majesty of the name of Jesus. Drawing inspiration from "I Speak Jesus" and our scripture, let's glean some deep-seated truths: 1. Exaltation through Humility: The reason Jesus' name is exalted is rooted in His humility and sacrifice. Before being elevated to the highest place, Jesus humbled Himself, taking on the nature of a servant and dying on the cross for humanity's sins. His name's power is intertwined with His unparalleled love and sacrifice. 2. Universal Reverence: Philippians speaks of every knee bowing and every tongue confessing Jesus as Lord. It's a vivid portrayal of a future where Jesus' lordship is universally acknowledged. When we declare Jesus' name over situations, as the song suggests, we're aligning ourselves with this eternal truth, invoking the authority of heaven itself. 3. Peace in His Presence: Charity Gayle's rendition beautifully communicates the peace that emanates from Jesus' presence. Speaking His name isn't a mere utterance; it's an invocation of His very presence. And where He is, peace abounds – calming storms, soothing fears, and mending broken hearts. Today, as you meditate on the lyrics of "I Speak Jesus," consider the situations in your life that need a touch from the Savior. It could be a personal struggle, a challenge at work, or perhaps a loved one in need. Instead of being overwhelmed by the situation, make a deliberate choice to "speak Jesus" over it. Remember, every time you declare the name of Jesus, you're invoking the mightiest power known to humanity. You're aligning yourself with God's will and inviting His intervention. Let the name of Jesus be your go-to response, your first line of defense, and your continuous declaration, irrespective of what you face. Let the beautiful message of "I Speak Jesus" envelop your heart and mind. And as you step into your day, may your lips continuously echo the name above all names, finding in it strength, solace, and an ever-present help in times of need.Philippians 2:9-11 - "Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Bless God Devotional

“Does not all nature around me praise God? If I were silent, I should be an exception to the universe. Does not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of armies? Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration? Does not the lightning write His name in letters of fire? Has not the whole earth a voice? And shall I, can I, silent be?”-Charles Spurgeon. To ”bless God" is a phrase that some might find strange or counter-intuitive, as we are perhaps more familiar with the idea of blessing being something that comes from God to us, perhaps not as much so the other way around. But to bless God – to exalt, praise, magnify Him – becomes a habit – a first response - in the lives of those who have let themselves receive the love of the Lord. To bless God is really the only appropriate response to the realization that the only reason that the possibility exists of making the choice to bless Him is because He has first so richly blessed us. When we "bless God," we are not adding anything to God or giving Him something He lacks, because our Triune God is utterly complete. Rather, when we worship Him, when we declare that He is worthy to be praised, we are aligning ourselves with the truth of His worthiness of all praise and honor, we are rightly seeing the true order of things – you might even say we're aligning ourselves with reality. And when we align ourselves with reality by declaring His reign and His worth, bringing Him worship and sacrifices of praise, we're also entering into communion with the Father and participating in the relationship we were born for. Blessing and glorifying God is a pathway to the gift of His presence, the preciousness of His nearness, and the unspeakable treasures of the joy therein. C.S. Lewis expressed it this way:“The Scotch catechism says that man's chief end is 'to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.' But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.” We bless God because we're made to. We bless God because we need to – I need to. We bless God because scripture invites us to, encourages us to, and commands us to! Psalm 150:6 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."
