WE ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR THROUGH JESUS!

From the desk of Dr. Mary Tisdale Green
RECOVER ALL WEDNESDAY

I want to encourage you and myself as to who we are and what we have in Christ Jesus. God took a chance on us and we win. We have no right to think otherwise.  Look to Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 King, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.)
What is our goal, Is it heaven or are we satisfied here? Jesus our perfect example went through and now, sitting with daddy.  Whatever you are struggling with, whether to go through or quit, set your mind on the prize. Colossians 3:2. Philippians 3: 7 New translation. I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.  9and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith. 10I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. 2 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13No,  I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
16 But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.

PRAYER: Roman 8:37,  despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. In Jesus name, Amen.
