Count Your Blessings in Christ 2
Philippians 4:4, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Colossians 1:11-14 ( AMP ).
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say , Rejoice. *In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. *Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints…..in the Light. (The Father) has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, In Whom we have our redemption through His blood…. the forgiveness of our sins.
Today, we continue our study of looking into God’s word to see and rejoice concerning everything that God’s word says we are, we have and can do in Christ, by Christ, with Christ and through Christ. In Christ, your spiritual position has changed. You have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son ( Colossians 1:13 ). The devil’s power over your life has been broken ( Hebrew 2:14 ).
You are seated in Christ in heavenly places ( Ephesians 2:6 ). You died with Christ and now you live with Him (Romans 6:8). You are dead and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Christ is now your life(Colossians 3:3-4). In Christ you are complete and you share in His authority over all principalities and powers ( Colossians 2:10 ). In Christ you have been circumcised. The nature of sin has been cut out of you ( Colossians 2:11 ).
The same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work within you ( Ephesians 1:19-20 ). You have been recreated in Christ Jesus to do good works (Ephesians 2:10). Right now, you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you and God supplies all your needs through His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:13 & 19). You are enriched in all things (1 Corinthians 1:5). In Christ, the grace of God has been bestowed on you(1 Corinthians 1:4, AMP). In Christ, God always leads you in triumph and He spreads the fragrance of His knowledge through you. (2 Corinthians 2:14). God gives you victory through Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).
By the resurrection of Christ from the dead. God has birthed you into a living hope , (1Peter 1:3). All of God’s promises to you are yes and amen! (2 Corinthians 1:20). They have already been fulfilled and they are now your reality.
Prayer Focus:
Rejoice and thank God for all the freedom, power and blessings that you now enjoy because of all that Christ has done for you.
