'Equal with God?' - John 10:30-33

[Jesus continued his response to the people questioning him at the Temple,] "The Father and I are one."
Once again the people picked up stones to kill him. Jesus said, "At my Father's direction I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?"

They replied, "We're stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy! You, a mere man, claim to be God."


—John 10:30-33 NLT

Key Thought​

They're getting the message! Jesus' "I AM" statements, his great deeds, and his self-identification as God's Son were understood by Jesus' opponents. He was claiming to be God in human flesh, God among humans, God with us. They had to either receive him or reject him. They had to obey him or oppose him. They had to believe him or berate him. As so often happens, Jesus' words and actions in John make clear that there can be no middle ground. The same is still true for us. Jesus must be our Lord, or he is nothing to us at all. He comes and challenges us to a radical faith in him.

Today's Prayer​

Give me courage, great God and Father, to live with Jesus as my Lord. Keep me from lukewarm faith and shallow discipleship. Do what it takes to fan into flame the faith I have in Jesus and make it burn brightly for your glory and for the sake of the Gospel. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Apply all the gospels to all of our life .The whole Armour of God means that your expression of your full trust in God and what he has done for you through Jesus Christ .Your victory in spiritual warfare was secured at the cross of Christ and the blood that was shed there.Believe all that Jesus has done and to live it out in daily life.It is the living in the power of everything that God has done in every area of life even when there are challenges.Put on the breastplate of righteousness is what protects the core of your being from every spiritual attack.The breastplate covers what's closest to your heart .Righteousness is the fact that you are good enough to be relieved by God,is a gift that's given to you,not something that you could ever earn on your own.With the breastplate on you you can say God accepts you and enjoys you because of what Jesus did. You have been chosen by God to be holy and without blame before him in love, you've been predestined to be adopted by God ,you are fully accepted by God through his beloved Jesus .Part of the Armour of God that helps you stand against any spiritual attack, its an important piece.Remember Jesus forgives us when we do wrong and go to him for forgiveness and we must forgive those who hurt us. We can't take that step without help from God . I pray that we remember Jesus is the Ultimate healer , the ultimate way maker, his full of love and protection and also from his good angels surrounding us all , he brings faith, hope, love,peace,joy ,he reconciles family , and reconciles broken home and marriages ,and he can do what no one else can. His so way better then what the devil brings to us . Keep in mind the devil brings darkness,lies,strife,confusion,strife,bitterness, temptation, he will make you feel like you are nothing,helplessness,and hopeless,and he will make you feel like you could do suicide,he will make you feel you don't belong anywhere,he brings, panic,and panic attacks,he brings anxiety,he is wanting to devour you and your whole soup and your life. He brings divorces,he makes you feel like you should give up .. STOP riget there brothers and sisters In Christ ..RIse up Stand up feet planted on the ground if you feel yourself going toward the negative stop fall to your knees bend your head down fold your hands and pray . If you can't fall on your knees due to health it's OK stop right where you are bend your head fold your hands and pray . DO NOT let the devil and his ways get to you. GOD will rebuke all bad thoughts. Remember Jesus can and will cast evil attacks . Remember Jesus is always fighting your battles on the battlefield. When you have someone thats sick and you see no hope Stand firm don't listen to that evil lie of the devil instead turn to Jesus and push closer to him the devil would want you to blame Jesus and get mad at Jesus DO NOT do that... Jesus is there his holding your hand in his and his wiping your tears or your face as you cry . Don't listen to that no good mean lier of the devil and his ways of attacks.. Go to Jesus his the ultimate healer and way maker and his the way to cast out the devil and his ways and his bondage . Set yourself free GO TO JESUS Jesus won't ever fail you or ever leave your side ... I declare this in Jesus Name amen God's will is the only right way in life .
