Trusting God's Plan in the Battle: Lessons From the Life of Jehoshaphatಮಾದರಿ
Day 20: Jesus our ultimate victor!
Today is our last day! Oh, how I’ve loved learning from Jehoshaphat! Just like so many heroes of the Bible, he too made mistakes but also had powerful victories. So, let’s summarize what we’ve learned:
· Remove idols in your life.
· Ask God before you partner with someone.
· Surround yourself with godly counsel.
· Put on the full armor of God daily.
· Be aware of spiritual warfare.
· Seek God first in EVERY situation.
· Stand on the promises of God.
· Praise God in your battle
We don’t want to ever end a HealingStrong Bible plan without pointing you to our ultimate victor, Jesus. He fought for each of us by taking on the sin of the world and dying on a cross for you and me. Each of us is a sinner and there’s nothing we can do to earn salvation on our own. But Jesus Christ, God’s perfect Son, took your sin and mine and He died on a cross so that we can have eternal life. If you haven’t asked Jesus to be the Lord of your life and to forgive your sins, we want to invite you to ask Him now. Pray this prayer out loud:
“Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I trust you as my Lord and Savior. Please help me to daily surrender to your will. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
If you prayed that prayer, please let us know! We’d love to hear from you! We have an amazing prayer team at HealingStrong that prays for each prayer request sent to us and it would be our honor to lift your prayer need before our Heavenly Father. Please email us at prayerrequest@healingstrong.org
