The Message We Send
The Lord permitted me to minister at a church that is having a revival for this entire month. Their theme is: “The Message We Send”. So I pose the question to you. What is the message that you are sending to your: family, friends, haters, co-workers, neighbors and to the kingdom of darkness?
Well, without a doubt you should be sending the message:
“The Lord loves me, therefore, I Can’t Be defeated!”
Your daily walk should prove as evidence to all – especially to the kingdom of darkness that you can’t be defeated – regardless!
Why?
- I can’t be defeated because my mind has been and is continually being renewed with the Word of God. (Ephesians 4:22; Romans 12:2).
- I can’t be defeated because I’ve learned how to discipline my spirit and to abide in the presence of the Lord. In other words…. I’ve learned how to pass through the outer court; and to permit my spirit to enjoy the inner court praise experience; in preparation for the worship experience that can only be found in the holy of holies. (John 4:24)
- Above all, I can’t be defeated because I’m sold out and souled out. I’m convinced that God loves me! (John 3:16). Therefore, according to Romans 8:37-39 it doesn’t matter what the enemy may decide to inflict upon me, the love of God will: override, cancel, nullify and bring to naught every diabolical plot and plan. So I know no defeat because my soul is completely “souled out’.
Hezekiah Walker expresses it like this:
"Souled Out"
I am souled out, my mind is made up;
Who can separate us from the love Jesus?
Not death, nor life.
Jesus paid the price, now I'm free from sin. I am souled out.
I've come through the fire, I've come through the rain.
But God, He never left my side,
He's my comfort through all hurt and pain - I am souled out.
My heart is fixed, my mind's made up;
No room, no vacancies, I'm all filled up.
His Spirit lives in me and that's the reason I'm souled out!
Therefore, the message that we send should always and alway (no “s”) be:
God loves me, therefore, “I Can’t Be Defeated”.
Romans 8:31-39 Message Bible
So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
