"The seventy returned with
joy, saying, 'Lord, in Your name even the demons submit to us!' He said to them,
'I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. See, I have given
you authority to tread and snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the
enemy; and nothing will hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the
spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.' At
that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit ..." (Luke
10:17-21).
We truly have no idea what
can happen when we obey Your call and go at Your command - whether to the
nations or across the street. But we know that whether we go must change,
because we carry the Spirit of Christ within us and the glory of God upon us
(Colossian 1:27). "Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the
Lord has risen upon you" (Isaiah 60:1).
Wherever Your Light shines,
darkness must flee. Wherever Your name is lifted up, every other name must bow
down. Wherever Your glory comes, all that would seek to steal Your glory must
fall. And how You rejoice to see our hearts full of the joy that comes from
obeying Your will from a place of intimacy with You!
Lord, give me the
understanding to believe the truth that wherever I go, You go with me because
You are within me. Give me the faith to know that the spiritual atmosphere
immediately changes the moment I arrive because the King of the Kingdom of God
is within me (Luke 17:21). "Christ in (me), the hope of glory" (Colossians
1:27). Lord, thank You for sending me to Africa last week and home this week.
Like each of Your disciples, let me continue to be transformed into Your image,
so that I can be an agent of Your transformation wherever I am and wherever I
go. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be
encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
