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!

Peter's biggest mistake that night was following Jesus at a distance – and we do the same when we let life pull us away from closeness with Him. Is there distance between you and Jesus today?

On the night that Peter denied Jesus, Satan was at work in his life. Satan comes for us too – will we be sober and fight the fight?

A Lenten fast should always be accompanied by focused prayer. Be sure to pick something specific to pray about this Lent, and ask God for a breakthrough as you pray and fast.

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.

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.
