“Grace and Joy”
In this timely episode, we explore how to stay anchored in the bliss and peace that come from knowing who we are in Christ, even amidst external turmoil like elections and political unrest. Drawing from Luke 7:19-23, we highlight the importance of maintaining an unoffendable heart, rooted in our identity and union with Jesus, no matter what’s happening in the world around us. The episode emphasizes that true joy, peace, and stability come from aligning with God’s perspective and focusing on the eternal truths of the Gospel.
Key Insights:
- The Source of Joy and Peace: Our internal state isn’t defined by political outcomes or external circumstances. As believers, our joy and bliss come from knowing who we are in Christ and who Jesus is.
- Living Unoffendable: Offense is a choice, and it’s crucial to guard our hearts against the trap of offense, especially in politically charged environments. We can choose to be unoffendable by focusing on Christ’s victory and the unity we have in Him.
- The Power of Our Words: Just as Scripture teaches that life and death are in the power of the tongue, our words and focus manifest reality. By choosing to speak life and declare the Gospel truth, we align with God’s purposes rather than the negative narratives that dominate the media.
- Kingdom Perspective: Regardless of what happens in the political realm, the truth remains that Jesus reigns, and we are citizens of His eternal, unshakable Kingdom. It’s vital to see the world through God’s lens of reconciliation, seeing others as reconciled to God, even if they don’t yet know it.
As we face the challenges of the world today, we are reminded that the ultimate truth is that Jesus has already won, and we are co-heirs of His victory.
Stay anchored in the joy of knowing Jesus, avoid being swayed by the world’s chaos, and focus on the truth that God’s Kingdom is advancing through us. Tune in to hear the full prophetic word for November and be empowered to live in the victory Christ has already secured!
