Deep down, are you a rebel?
November 3, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Is there stirring in your heart a spirit of rebellion today? Maybe you don’t even recognize it. Is there someone who has wronged you and you seek revenge? Do you have a need to have your rights exalted before others? If you’re not struggling in this area, that’s great—but if you are, let me plead with you right now to do something about it.
Ask God to cleanse you from your desire to rebel.
Ask Him to root out the rebel in you. He is not going to remove it until you renounce it. It is your choice.
Ask Him to forgive you for the foolish and careless words you have spoken.
Ask Him to take out that spirit of rebellion against authorities.
Ask Him to teach you how to lovingly respect people when they are in the wrong.
ACTION POINT:
Either you crown Jesus as Lord, or you crucify Him. Are you with Jesus today or are you against Him?

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.’”
