Topic: Ephesians 1:3 [John Hagee Devotional 18 April 2020]

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ

El Shaddai, the Hebrew word for God Almighty, signifies that He is the God Who is all-sufficient. He is more than enough.

Jesus Christ nailed your sin to the cross. He nailed your past to the cross. You are not a patched-up, somewhat-improved version of your old self. All the old things passed away, and He made all things brand new. You are a new creation!

He made a public spectacle of rejection at the cross. The enemy attempts to use the past to bring guilt and condemnation. He sticks his finger in old wounds to resurrect the pain and shame. But El Shaddai is more than enough! The cross represents our total triumph!

Satan believed that the cross was the end, but Jesus was just getting started. When He declared, “It is finished,” Satan soon discovered that those words of finality ushered in a new beginning for us.

Shackles fell powerless. Addictions were broken. Ruined lives were redeemed. Shattered hearts were restored. Broken dreams were revived.

Every promise that He made, He has kept. Through every trial, He has been a Friend Who sticks close. He has never abandoned us in the difficult hours. He has met every deficiency. No need to ever wonder … He is more than enough.

Blessing:

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. Jesus has liberated you from your past. Your future is in the hands of God – full of joy and honor and reward. He has set you free!
