Romans 8:31-39 (Contemporary English Version) What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can anyone be against us? God did not keep back his own Son, but he gave him for us. If God did this, won't he freely give us everything else? If God says his chosen ones are acceptable to him, can anyone bring charges against them? Or can anyone condemn them? No indeed! Christ died and was raised to life, and now he is at God's right side, speaking to him for us. Can anything separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble, suffering, and hard times, or hunger and nakedness, or danger and death? It is exactly as the Scriptures say, "For you we face death all day long. We are like sheep on their way to be butchered." In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us. I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love--not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to conquer your past? This would mean that when satan throws something you did in your face that you could just show him that it was covered by the blood. No longer would you have to hide the shameful things you did because it was covered. Satan only has the ammo to throw at you because you let him. If you gave your life to Christ and asked Him to cover your sins with His blood, then He did just that. You no longer need to live in condemnation of that sin so accept that Jesus did that for you and hold up your shield of faith against the fiery accusations of satan. You are more than a conqueror, walk in your conquest.
Love and God Bless,
