DAILY MEDITATIONS AND AFFIRMATIONS - 83

[Albert Finch]

Ephesians 1:17,18 - "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the true knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,"

As we move with Wisdom in Understanding of this Knowledge of His CALLING ON OUR LIFE, we will also find a growing depth of the Spirit of Might operating in our lives; that is, supernatural BOLDNESS, or great CONFIDENCE. When we, as His people, are given illumination from understanding of what the eye, ear, and our own thoughts cannot know, wisdom is also given to apply to our daily lives that will create confidence in the Lord, empowering you to walk out His purpose and plan.

Human motivation causes us to have springboards of exhilaration, but resistance then causes the exhilaration to fade. When we understand what has been given to us by God through sonship, our exhilaration will never fade, but will ever increase. When we grow in wisdom, we grow in stature.

Ephesians 6:10 - " Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might."

Ephesians 4:26,27 - "In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold."

Some debate whether the devil is on earth or in hell – can he dwell in Christians or only in the world?

The fact is the devil is in darkness. Wherever there is spiritual darkness, there the devil will be. When Satan rebelled against God he was placed under eternal judgment, in what the Bible calls “pits” and “bonds of darkness”. The devil and the fallen angels with him have been relegated to live in darkness. This darkness does not simply mean lifeless regions or areas void of visible light.

The eternal darkness to which scripture refers is essentially a moral darkness, which does ultimately degenerate into literal darkness. However it’s cause is not simply the absence of light, it is the absence of God who is light.

Affirmations:

THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN ME, AND HE ALWAYS CONVICTS ME OF WRONG ATTITUDES THAT THE DEVIL COULD POTENTIALLY USE TO BIND ME.

I CONFESS THAT I WALK IN FORGIVENESS! OFFENSE, BITTERNESS, STRIFE, AND UNFORGIVENESS HAVE NO PLACE IN MY LIFE.

I AM FULL OF MERCY, LONGSUFFERING, AND SLOW TO ANGER.

Song of Solomon 1:15 - "Behold you are fair, my love; behold you are fair; you have doves' eyes."

YOU ALREADY HAVE "DOVES' EYES" - YOU ARE SIMPLE INWARDLY AND OUTWARDLY. INWARDLY - YOU BEHOLD YOUR KING (JESUS); OUTWARDLY - YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS ARE FREE FROM DECEPTION. SIMPLICITY IS THE SUREST SIGN OF SPIRITUAL PROGRESS. TO REACH YOUR BELOVED (JESUS) YOU LET HIS SPIRIT LEAD YOU. LOVE IS PERFECTED IN SIMPLICITY AND HONESTY.
