Great and Mighty

Ephesians 2:13 "But now in Jesus Christ ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ"(KJV).  

To appreciate this KJV verse, I was reading from the New Living Translation Ephesians 2:11-13. "Don't forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders by birth. You were called "the uncircumcised ones" by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts. V12 In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded (shut out) from God's people, Israel, and you did not know the promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope. V13 BUT NOW YOU BELONG TO CHRIST JESUS. THOUGH YOU ONCE WERE FAR AWAY FROM GOD, NOW YOU HAVE BEEN BROUGHT NEAR TO HIM BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST."

Song: Great and Mighty Is the Lord
Great and mighty is the Lord our God!
Great and mighty is He!
Great and mighty is the Lord our God!
Great and mighty is He!
Lift up your banner, and let the Christians sing,
Praises to our King . . .
Great and mighty is the Lord our God!
Great and mighty is He!

Prayer: Oh Lord God of heaven! Have mercy on us who are going through severe attacks from Satan Himself! Please lift up Satan's fingers upon us and get him out of the way through the blood of Jesus, so You, Lord God could send many "relief blessings" upon us. We need room to breathe in our spirits and in our bodies since we felt Satan's hot breath on us. Now in the name Jesus Christ, Satan begone with your hot breathe! And now Holy Spirit let it breathe on us, let it breathe on us. Let the Spirit of God now breathe on us in Jesus' name I pray. Amen!

May the Lord bless you and be lifted up today!
