Reclaimed Life Sample

  

John 10:10

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.

All too often many people allow what is rightfully theirs to be stolen. The reason for this is because the person does not fully understand all that was purchased for them at the cross of Christ. Therefore, they allow great promises to be taken captive. Jesus was chastised for our peace and has given it to us as a gift. Yet, peace is so easily taken from us by the worries and cares of this life.

Just think, If we would not allow a criminal to just walk into our home and take the mere material possessions that we purchased, would it not be the same, if not to a greater extent, to not allow the thief and enemy of our souls to rob us of our life, peace, and the joy that God has purchased for us? 

Dear saints, God desires for us to have an abundant life that is full and overflowing. This is a life filled with the richness of God’s nourishment and abundance of spiritual possessions such as truth and grace (John 1:17). Grace is the key to abundant life as it is in our weakness God's strength is perfected (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). We must determine to fight the good fight of faith while taking back our lives. Determine to live a life full of God’s Spirit, love, peace, joy, grace, mercy, kindness, and power. 

Action Step: Allow God to possess all of you as you gain possession of all He has for you.  Ask God what has been taken from you? Lay hold on the unspeakable joy that allows us to enjoy constant, increasing blessings from God’s presence.

Prayer:

Father God, I ask that you help me to trust you with all my heart and not lean on my own understanding but in all my ways acknowledge you, knowing that you will direct my paths. Lord help my life to be full of You, full of Your love, full of your grace, full of Your peace, and full of Your power.
