10-12 Nov. 2016 - Rejoice in the Lord! – Share Devotion
from Dorothy Callies
Rejoice
and exult (very joyful) in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and
tribulation; be constant in prayer. - Romans 12:12 (Amplified Bible)
We're
to live in hope. We're to rejoice. So, when Satan comes to steal your victory
and tell you that God is not going to help you this time, you just think on the
Word of God and start rejoicing. Rejoice that you're in Him. Rejoice that
heaven is your home. Rejoice that greater is He that is in you than he that is
in the world. Rejoice. Brag on God today. The devil can't stand it!
"Be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation...." Tribulation means "being under pressure." When pressure comes, don't cave in. Don't faint. Instead, go to the throne of grace. Go boldly in the Name of Jesus and get the help you need.
Remember this: When things get hard isn't when you let go of the Word. That's when you double up on it. That's when you are "constant in prayer" so that you are unmovable.
Rejoice. Be patient under pressure. Be constant in prayer. The devil won't be able to steal one thing from you! [Devotion from Gloria Copeland “Brag on God,” From Faith to Faith]

Dorothy: This devotion reminds me of a song and a
verse to go with it. Paul said in Philippines 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always:
and again I say, Rejoice.” Imagine, Paul
in his extreme (very great) suffering, tells us to “Rejoice in the Lord,
always.”
So
we, as a believer are encouraged to rejoice in the Lord! We receive strength when we remember Lord’s
grace and His being near to us. We
remind His promises to meet our needs. So, my friend, rejoice in the Lord
always! It is a powerful weapon against Satan!
Song: Rejoice in the Lord!
Rejoice
in the Lord, always!
Again
I say, Rejoice!
Rejoice
in the Lord, always!
Again
I say, Rejoice!
Rejoice
… Rejoice …
Again
I say, Rejoice!
Rejoice
… Rejoice …
Again
I say, Rejoice!
Rejoice
in the Lord, always!
Again
I say, Re-joice!
(Heard someone sang this
song and
I memorized it, unknown author)
May
the Holy Spirit help us to get into the spirit of rejoicing and use the
powerful weapon against Satan in Jesus’ name, amen!
Dorothy
