You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
This is a great verse to quote when you feel like the Devil is having a go at you. The power that lives inside, the power of the Holy Spirit, is infinitely greater than anything the Devil can conjure up against us. The Bible says we are overcomers. God has a plan for our lives that cannot be thwarted by the enemy, in fact his every attack plays right into God’s hands, but we have to believe what God says about us and not allow ourselves to be intimated or discouraged. We are overcomers and the power of the living God is within us!

Lamentations 3:24-26
I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:24-26
I don’t know about you but waiting patiently and quietly is not my speciality! There’s a time pour out your heart and plead earnestly, there’s a time to declare and speak out boldly in faith and there’s a time to make peace with where you’re at, to make yourself comfortable even in difficult circumstances and to wait for the salvation of God to manifest itself. God is our portion and that means we have the best part! Learning to wait and to wait with faith and expectation is one of the hardest tests of the Christian walk, but those who endure will receive the crown of life and the breakthrough that they were waiting for.

1 Chronicles 29:11
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is Yours.
Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom;
You are exalted as head over all. 1 Chronicles 29:11
The God we serve is an awesome God, supreme in power and authority. There is no one higher or greater and His power extends to all heaven and earth. Sometimes we need to step back, look up and have a ‘wow’ moment and worship the One who created the stars and galaxies and the delicate inner parts of our body. God is the rightful owner of all the kingdoms of the earth and one day He will come back to claim that which is His own.

1 Chronicles 28:20
Be strong and courageous and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord, your God is with you. 1 Chronicles 28:20 NIV
So many times in the Bible, God tells His people, don’t be afraid, don’t be discouraged, I’m with you. God will empower us, but we need to do our part, to be bold and to step out in faith. James says that faith without deeds is dead and faith expresses itself through action. We need to be bold and do the work God has given us, knowing that He will equip us and empower us. Don’t let fear hold you back! (And I’m talking to myself most of all!!)

Isaiah 43:25
I even I am He who blots out your transgressions, for My own sake, and remembers your sins no more. Isaiah 43:25 NIV
This verse is such a wonderful reassurance of the forgiveness we have in Christ. God says ‘I, even I’. This wonderful act is not performed by any intermediary or an angel but by the Holy One Himself, the Lord God Almighty. He blots out our transgressions – to blot means another substance covers over the original so it can no longer be seen, and in forgiveness, our sins are covered over by the blood of Jesus.
We might well ask the question, why would God want to do this for me? I don’t deserve it, but in this verse God reminds us that it’s not about us, or what we have or haven’t done, it’s about Him – He does it for His own sake.
It’s also reassuring to know that God chooses not to remember our sins. He banishes them from His memory and in doing so, all record of our wrong doing is erased. What a wonderful verse and our wonderful it is to have right standing with God, and assurance for our consciences.

Hebrews 12:28-29
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:28-29 NIV
This world and all that it contains is subject to shaking – by earthquakes, stock markets, corruption, war and natural disasters, but the kingdom being established in our hearts and to come is being built by a master builder and cannot be shaken. God is holy and He shakes and consumes that which is not holy for our God is a consuming fire. In our lives He will consume that which is not holy. This burning process is not always pleasant but the end result is holy sons and daughters of the most High God whose desire is to please and serve Him with clean hands and a pure heart.
For my part I would prefer to get rid of that which is unholy rather than have God consume it! God is not casual or relaxed about sin, which is why we should approach Him with reverence and awe and seek to live holy lives through the power of the Holy Spirit working in us.

Hi everyone – this is just to let you know that I’ll be reducing the pod casts to three a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This is more sustainable for me over the long term. Hope you’re enjoying the pod casts as much I am creating them. Doing this project is such a blessing to me and I can literally feel the difference God’s Word is making in my life as it gets a real hold of my heart. Enjoy and be blessed!
