"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
'For Your sake we face Death all day long,
We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.'
No, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor ANY POWERS, neither height nor depth, nor ANYTHING ELSE in ALL OF CREATION will be able to separate us from the Love of God that is in Jesus Christ."
-Romans 8:35-39
How beautiful, and indescribable. That Christ loves us so much that there is nothing in all of creation that can stop Him from loving us! His agape love for us is just so... awe-inspiring. And so unconditional! It doesn't matter what we do! We could have just murdered someone and lied under oath about drugs in the trunk of our car, and then gone home to beat our wives, He loves us the same (on a side note, I pray that never happens. Ever). Mattie Montgomery once told me, "Christ can never, ever, ever love you more than He does right now," when I was at a tough spot in my struggle with lust and temptation. And it's so true! Wow. Glory.
And then, "we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Fact is we're living in a constant battle, and the war is over our souls. And when the enemy loses a soul, he will do ANYTHING to silence it, because he knows the power of a soul that burns bright with the Love of Christ. He KNOWS that a single person could tear down his entire kingdom.
"I have more power in my little finger than all the demons of hell, because the Lord Jesus Christ lives within me!"
-John Crowder
"If God is for us, who can be against us?"
-Romans 8:31
"And through all of this, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, no fear, no insecurity, no doubt, no hesitation that will ever, ever stop us. Because we are the sons of the living God, because we are the children of the Almighty. Because we are the residents of the Kingdom of Heaven, and we are soldiers in an army of the Immortal."
-For Today, "Talmidim (The Servants)"
But we know the end of the story: we win. The army of Christ cannot be stopped! With Christ in our hearts, no one, no mortal nor immortal enemy, can stand against us, for no one can stand against He who sent us. Praise Jesus.
Man, I should go to sleep. I pray blessings and fire on you, my friends. The sweetest of dreams to you this night, and every night. Shika Boomba.
