Remember that Jesus Trampled Death WITH DEATH...

Our limited view of God and His majestic “tool kit” will bring us to a desperate place of defeat and confusion; However, as children of The Only Living God, in our “tool kit” we have the capacity to discipline ourselves in prayer and study that will take us deeper in our understanding of God’s Sovereign pattern.

As I look at the madness that has long been developing all around us, I could quickly become distraught. Still, because of the relationship God has given me with Him through His Word and the Spirit of His Son, I am immediately reminded that His terms are far more victorious than anything I could have imagined. Since I know God’s pattern of justice and mercy from the Garden of Eden to the return of Jesus, coming on wings of fire...since I know that pattern has played out in my life...I can be restored to the confidence and peace that is our God!

This morning, it will be very easy for you to approach God, Bible study, and prayer with fear, overwhelm, and hesitancy, but before you allow your emotions to take hold of your flesh, remember that Jesus trampled death WITH DEATH! Remember that death and darkness are a portion of God’s pattern...His pattern of justice and mercy.

There's no doubt...Satan is definitely trying to keep you off away from God, BUT the death and resurrection of Jesus has made you able to trample the death of Satan's lies....to die to yourself and rise in Jesus Christ!! So, blessed, chosen one, go into worship and study with an open heart, mind, and soul willing to allow your limited view to be blown wide open by the wonder of The Only Wise King, and worship on His terms!!

"For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he abolishes all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign until he puts all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be abolished is death. For God has put everything under his feet...When this corruptible body is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:22-25; 54-57‬

“The Lord reigns! Let the earth rejoice; let the many coasts and islands be glad. Clouds and total darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne....The heavens proclaim his righteousness; all the peoples see his glory...Light dawns for the righteous, gladness for the upright in heart. Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones, and give thanks to his holy name.” Psalms‬ ‭97:1-2, 6, 11-12‬ ‭CSB‬‬
