Can you be fearless and unstoppable in His Word? 5-30-16
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will
not fear what flesh can do unto me. Psalm 56:4
What does it mean to be
unstoppable? It means nothing can keep you from the task at hand. So if you are
unstoppable for Jesus it means that nothing you do in the name of the Lord will
be stopped or incomplete. When we are in Christ we are unstoppable!
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible
if a person believes.” The father
instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark
9:22-24
Disconnected is another
thing we cannot be in Christ. For when we are in Christ He is with us always,
He will never forsake us nor leave us. We are always connected to the source
once we first plug in to Christ.
4 He told them, “My soul is crushed
with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
He went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed
that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by. “Abba, Father,” he cried
out, “everything
is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want
your will to be done, not mine.” Mark
14
We can think of it like a
new computer cord. The old one may have had cracks I the wires or a connector
defect but once it is replaced the power source is strong.
When we choose to believe
that Jesus is the Christ we receive that new plug, but not only that He gives
us a whole new battery to charge with it! For when we are I Christ we are a new
creation, that means our lives are become new and we get rid of the old cords,
and old failing batteries and recharge ourselves with the Holy Spirit on a
daily basis.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate
us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for
today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate
us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all
creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed
in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39
So how do we keep the
charge? We plug in to the Word of God, gain growth and understanding via the
Holy Spirit and we pray to keep that connection strong. It really is that
simple, and it really is real.
There is only one more thing
that can charge up your battery and that is spending time worshiping Him in
spirit and in truth. When we are truthful in our worship we are saying words
that are from our heart to His, not just cause it has a good beat but because
it pulls at our heartbeat. You know what I mean, the kind of song that makes
you sit up and take notice, or makes you want to bow down and worship Him on
your knees. The songs you sing and the words you speak in worship must be
truthful or you are just singing or speaking stuff out.
Don’t try to fake it!
He knows the difference, you
can’t fake worshiping. Remember everything God does is a heart matter.

Sometimes we do not feel so
unstoppable. When this happens we need to turn on our praise music, remember
the things that God has done in the past and begin to thank Him for them. When
the Israelites were basically turned loose on their new lands God gave
instruction for the people to remind their descendents of the things they went
through because it would help them to
get through the times they would have it rough and help them to focus on Him.
Of course being humans they did not always do this and things got really bad at
times throughout history; but God pulled a remnant through and from His people came
His son Jesus. God wants to use you today, but you must believe that with God
you are truly unstoppable.
Dear Heavenly Father, help
us today to be unstoppable for You and to do Your will in all that we do. Let
us work our jobs in life to be pleasing to You, in Jesus name. Amen.
