Supporters’ Extra: Herod Still at Work

Daily DevotionsA Christmas Villain
Written By Luke Powell

A huge thank you to each of you for the ongoing donations to my daily devotions and all the things I do on YouTube, I deeply appreciate you all! 

Herod has given us much to think about this week. Perhaps we are all 'villains' when we live according to our sinful nature, but of course Christ came to set us free from sin and enable us to walk in holiness. 

Victory Over Our Inner Herod 

In fact many people believe we are doomed to be Herods… You can access this extra devo on my Patreon here for a monthly amount of your choice. Thanks for the support!

Words of Authority

Words of Authority
Daily Devotions, It's Only Words!

Jesus' words carried divine authority that commanded even demons to obey, revealing His position as God's Son. Have you given Him authorisation to exercise His authority over the sin and darkness in your own life?

The disciples returned from ministry overjoyed at their spiritual authority, but Jesus redirected their focus to the greater joy of being loved by God. Today, examine whether your joy is based on your success or on your position as God's beloved child.

Satan prowls around like a roaring lion seeking to devour believers, but he cannot snatch you from Jesus' hand and you have the power to resist his temptations. Maintain an alert and sober mind to reject the enemy's offers and seek after a holy life that pleases God.

Jesus calls us to take living water to the wounded, even when facing bullets and enemies along the way. Consider what sacrifice God might be calling you to make for the sake of bringing His salvation to others.

Christians battle an enemy far worse than the Wicked Witch of the West! Our enemy can’t be defeated by a pale of water, but by Living Water.

The Church as Secure
Daily Devotions, The New Jerusalem (Revelation 21-22)

John’s picture of the church in Revelation 21 reminds us that we are held secure by an overcoming and victorious God. What a message for us to hold to!

When Jesus ascended He didn’t begin to rest in heaven. The Bible talks of Him at the right hand of God, interceding for His people even now.

When we are tempted to do something not of God, it’s important that we keep believing in the Spirit’s power. The power of God is stronger than the power of the enemy, and we can resist temptation because we believe this!

My strategy to fight off temptation begins with being aware of my own struggles. If I know where to expect temptation, I can be ready for it before it even comes.

Mary Magdalene had a wonderful story of transformation - delivered from her bondage by Jesus. Yours can be a similar story, because Jesus is willing and able to deliver us from evil.

David welcome those who were under attack, promising to protect them. Jesus does the same for us today. Do you need to run to him for protection in the midst of an attack?
