“...you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.”
Ephesians 1:13

Ponder This
What does it mean to be “sealed”? The moment you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit of God seals you into Himself. That seal marks you as a child of God. You cannot lose your salvation and you belong to God for all time and eternity. When you are sealed, you are His!
Second Timothy 2:19 says, “Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His.'” You are sealed into a relationship with God by the Holy Spirit.
Practice This
Read Daniel 6 and Matthew 27. Note the similarities in the accounts of Daniel and Jesus being sealed away for death—and how the Almighty God delivered them unto life!
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
