Barry, remember the time Jesus had sent the disciples out by twos and they came back rejoicing because they had power over satan and his demons. Jesus redirected their joy to that which was most important. Luke 10:1- 20..
Luke 10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
What a wonderful thing, our names are written in heaven in The Lamb's Book of Life. By His love , His grace, and His mercy we have been documented as belonging to HIm. His devine nature within, the Holy Spirit, His seal, His stamp on us that no power can ever erase or extract. Written in His blood.
To God be the glory, great things He has done.
In Christ,
David |
