Ephesians 3:19 19... know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
If you were to thank God for something today, what would it be? For me,
it would be thanking God for giving me Jesus. For when I see Jesus on the
cross, I see the love of God overcoming everything for me. It causes me to
say, “Thank you, Jesus! I love you, Jesus! I worship you, Jesus! Bless you, Jesus!
Hallelujah!”
And as we worship and celebrate the love of Jesus in our lives, we will find
ourselves changed, and we will see the mighty power of God displayed for us and
through us.
This was the case in the life of David. His personal times of worship, of being
absorbed in God’s love for him, changed him from a mere shepherd boy to a lion
killer, bear killer, giant killer and finally, a king over Israel.
Now, no one on earth, no matter how strong he is, let alone a youth, can
come against a lion and prize open its mouth to snatch back his sheep which
the lion had carried away, unless God’s anointing is on him. And this was
indeed what happened to David the shepherd boy who went after the lion,
caught it by its beard, struck and killed it, and thus delivered the lamb from its
jaws. (1 Samuel 17:34–37)
My friend, no man can truly enjoy living in this world without God’s strength
in his life, God’s favor in his work and relationships, God’s protection for him and
his family, God’s increase in his finances, and God’s health and healing for his
body. Likewise, no woman can survive emotionally, socially or physically without
God’s tender touch, loving presence, sweet assurance and words of life in times
of need.
Beloved, as you feed on Jesus’ love for you, you will be filled with the fullness
of God. Like David, God’s anointing will begin to operate powerfully in your life.
And when you encounter spiritual lions, even the devil himself — when he comes
like a roaring lion against you, your loved ones or your possessions — you will
grab hold of his mouth and tear him apart!
