Kept By His Power

Devotions :

        There is a rest in God knowing that He has performed everything necessary for us.  We are called to respond to what He has done for us in salvation.  But we only have this rest when we believe what the word of God says not what people think it says.  We are responsible to search out the word to see if what we have been told is actually true. 

        “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” ‭Jude‬ ‭1:24-25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

        Jude says that God is able to keep us from falling and to keep us faultless.  He will present us faultless before the throne of glory.  Our biggest mistake is when we try to keep ourselves from falling rather than rely totally upon Him to do it.  It is by the power of the Spirit of resurrection within us that will empower us to not fall. But even with His spirit within us if we do not rely upon Him, if we do not believe that He can and will keep us from falling and keep us faultless then His presence will do us no good. 

        Looking unto Jesus and His resurrection power by the Holy Spirit within us we walk in victory.  It is learning to believe in His completed work and rely totally upon Him in our weaknesses and strengths that lead us from defeat into victory.  As we rely upon Him we will continually speak the victory that we already have in Him.  Do not speak your circumstances, speak the already established victory in Jesus.
