Signed, Sealed, Delivered!
I have good news for you today - we have been delivered through Christ Jesus! Check this out…
“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves” (Colossians 1:13).
I’ll probably do a three-day devotional on this one verse. The first part of that verse reminds us that we have been delivered. The Bible doesn”t say, “When God delivers us” or “If God delivers us” it says that He has delivered us. If you have prayed to receive Christ as your personal Savior, the deliverance has already taken place.
Maybe you feel trapped today, trapped by the worries of a job - or the loss of a job, trapped by the fear of a medical report, trapped by the despair of a broken relationship, trapped by the grief from the death of a loved one, trapped by the anxieties of an uncertain future. I have good news for you! Christ signed for you, He’s already taken claim of you His package, He sealed the deal with His blood, and He delivered you from anything that threatens to hold you in bondage! You have been set free - live a life of deliverance today!
We had an AWESOME weekend at the Rehoboth Baptist Church in Claxton, GA. They beautifully depicted Hannah’s story through Judgement House and they were right on the mark! The seven “Hannah’s” were just beautiful and they took their role very seriously. The entire cast was gracious and had done their homework on Hannah and her family. It was rather sobering to arrive and meet the Aunt Hopes and Uncle Clays. They treated us as celebrities which is crazy! But our hearts were instantly knit together and we shared kindred spirits with all that we came in contact with at that church. They couldn’t hear enough “Hannah” stories and the Pastor opened wide his pulpit to us Sunday morning to share about Hannah’s Hope Ministries. We had not been there long on Friday night until our spiritual jars were refilled, our fire rekindled, our tanks refueled for the cause. God was gracious and He poured out His love and Spirit into hearts and lives all weekend. Deb and her mother, Grandma Ellen had a similar experience in Jacksonville, FL. I’m sure she’ll journal about that when they return. Twelve churches from Lake Forest, CA to Callahan, FL told Hannah’s story through Judgement House this past weekend and next week Dudley Baptist Church in Dudley, GA will perform it as well. Thank you for your prayers and for your financial support. God is good - all the time!
