Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
—Romans 8:33-34 (NKJV).
Before you knew Him, God chose to love you (1 John 4:19). When you believed in Jesus’ perfect love for you, God delivered you from the power of darkness and moved you into the Kingdom of His beloved Son (Colossians 1:13-14). God is now your Father. You are no orphan. You belong to Him (Romans 8:15).
Christ has destroyed the one who once held the power of death. He has destroyed the works of the devil (Hebrews 2:14, 1 John 3:8). The enemy has no power over you (Luke 10:19). No one has any right to condemn you. Jesus is the one who validates and justifies you (Romans 8:33).
Not only is your sin crucified and buried with Christ but your life is completely delivered from the power of darkness. You are reborn and raised with Him in new life (Romans 6:1-4). You are whole and new in His grace. Your spirit has been reborn with the Spirit of the living God (John 3:6). You are a new person with a new lineage (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The enemy will tell you that you are the same—that the old man still determines your life—that your circumstances will never change, and you will never receive God's promises. But God’s love says differently. God is the author of life (John 14:6), and the enemy is the author of death (John 10:10). You are delivered from the enemy’s clutches. You are saved, forgiven, healed, delivered, and complete in God.
Jesus Christ, who was dead and then raised to life, now sits at the right hand of God (Hebrews 1:3). He intercedes for you (John 17:20). Jesus doesn’t beg for His blood to be enough for you. He knows what the gift of His life accomplished on your behalf. He pleads His blood for you. He presents you clean to the Father and reminds Him that the work of the cross is finished and that His blood is enough.
Jesus doesn’t intercede for you out of weakness. He intercedes for you with the power of His resurrection. Neither do you need to pray to God out of your weakness because in your weakness, Jesus is strong (2 Corinthians 12:9). You pray in the name and authority of Jesus. He has given you the power over anything or any lie coming against the righteousness He gave His life for you to receive (Luke 9:1, 10:19).
Your prayers remind God that Jesus has made you clean and whole with the gift of His blood. When you believe in God's love for you, you praise Him for Jesus’ forgiveness of sins, healing, and the abundant life His Son purchased. You don’t have to beg God for what His Son has already given you in the gift of His life. You are a new creation complete in Him. Praise God for all He has done (Hebrews 13:15). You have victory because Jesus was victorious.
“Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else” (Romans 8:32, NKJV)?
God’s nature is unconditional love (1 John 4:8). You are loved. God loves you so much that He did not even spare the life of His Son. And if He let His Son die for you, which of His promises does He keep from you? He already gave you the most exorbitant gift. Nothing else can surpass it. God would never give you the life of His Son and then hold back the gifts of redemption Jesus died for you to have. Why would He hold back what you need to live? He feeds and takes care of the birds of the air (Matthew 6:26), and He clothes the lilies of the field (Matthew 6:28-29). Are you not more important than these? Why would God withhold your forgiveness, deliverance, provision, or healing?
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:35,37, NKJV).
Nothing separates you from the love of God. You overcome the power of darkness with the power of God's Resurrection love. You overcome sin because Jesus overcame sin. You overcome sickness because Jesus overcame sickness. You overcome fear, hardship, and persecution. When you know how much God loves you, you fight every lie coming against you with the truth of Jesus’ atonement. In all these lies, you are more than a conqueror. Every sin, symptom, sickness, emotion, feeling, and attack of the enemy is defeated. You more than conquer the enemy with a revelation of God’s love. Your salvation is thorough, and it is enough. You are forgiven of sin and healed through and through with His amazing and relentless grace.
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39, NKJV).
Are you persuaded—are you convinced that nothing coming against you—no circumstance, no power of darkness, no lie, and nothing in all creation can separate you from the love of God you have received in Jesus Christ? Nothing can separate you from the power of God's love. When you believe this truth, you are convinced of God's love. You live the confidence that His love gives you. You persevere and believe in what you are promised.
The name of Jesus is greater than sin, sickness, fear, sorrow, and the lies of the enemy. Hold on to God’s truth, and believe the promises of your new life in Christ. He is the Lord who completely restores what sin ravaged. God’s will for you is living life in the fullness of His love and grace. Persevere and believe by faith. Never give up on His love for you. He supplies all you need according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). God lacks nothing. Jesus overcame for you. You receive from the abundance of His overcoming love.
“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us” (2 Corinthians 1:20, NKJV).
