Jesus Is Lord (Oct 17th)
Verse
So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.
Thought
As we think of God as Father, Son, and Spirit, our minds quickly become overwhelmed. God is greater than our greatest thought and more complex than our most insightful moment can help us comprehend. But there is a truth that I believe we can all understand. The Spirit will never lead us to say anything untruthful or unholy about God — as Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God convicts us of the truth, gives us insight into truth, and empowers us to declare truth. To be able to confess Christ as Lord with a heart full of faith is both a declaration of our commitment and testimony to God’s grace. The Holy Spirit unlocks our minds and empowers our hearts to confess Jesus as Lord!
Prayer
Father in heaven, because of your grace and the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus, I confidently confess that Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Lord of all things, seen and unseen, and I want him to be Lord of my heart as I seek to live the lifestyle of your Kingdom. I know my ability to do any of this comes as a gift from your grace and the leading of the blessed Holy Spirit. I offer you — Father, Son, and Spirit — my thanks! Amen.
