Blood Bought Rights

[Albert Finch]

Ephesians 2:5,6,10 - "Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace we are saved;) And hath raised us together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them."

AS A BELIEVER I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO "TRY" FAITH. I EXERCISE MY RIGHTS AS A MEMBER OF THE BODY OF CHRIST.
HE HAS RAISED ME UP WITH JESUS AND SEATED ME IN HEAVENLY PLACES. HE HAS GIVEN ME HIS NAME. HIS BLOOD. HIS AUTHORITY. HIS POWER. HIS SPIRIT.
THESE RIGHTS ARE BLOOD BOUGHT. JESUS SUFFERED AND DIED TO GIVE ME THE RIGHTS OF OUR NEW COVENANT.

2 Corinthians 6:1,2 - We then, as workers together with Him, beseech you also that you receive not the grace of God in vain. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.


Acts 16:25,26 - And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

Affirmations

MY LIVING BY FAITH MOVES HIM TO HONOR MY FAITH; HOWEVER, WHEN I PLEASE HIM THROUGH MY PRAISE, HE VISITS ME IN PERSON. GOD'S FAITHFULNESS IS TRIGGERED BY MY FAITH, WHILE PRAISE BRINGS ME INTO HIS PRESENCE. WHEN I PRAISE GOD, HE RAISES ME OUT OF MY SITUATION.

WHEN I FIND MYSELF IN TROUBLE, I USE PRAISE AS A KEY TO UNLOCK THE "PRISON DOORS" OF MY CIRCUMSTANCES. NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY LIFE, I WILL FILL MY MOUTH WITH THE HIGH PRAISES OF GOD!
