Joel Osteen Devotional 12 April 2020 – Alive Forevermore!
Scripture: “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.” – Revelation 1:18, NKJV
Today’s Word: So much happened at Calvary’s cross over two thousand years ago. Jesus Christ was mocked by soldiers, beaten, and nailed to the cross. It looked like it was over when they laid His body in the tomb. All of hell was rejoicing. They had finally defeated Him. But in the heavens, God didn’t panic. He didn’t say, “What happened? My plan failed.” The earthly court said Jesus was defeated, but the Judge of all the earth said, “Overruled.” Jesus came out of the grave on the third day and declared, “I am He who lives. I was dead, but I am alive forevermore.”
If God can overrule death and the forces of darkness, don’t you think He can overrule anything that’s holding you back. No matter what bondage or stronghold has held you captive, when you acknowledge Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you receive His power that will set you free. Believe in Him, receive His life, and celebrate true, eternal victory!
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for Jesus’ resurrection and triumph over the grave and all the forces of darkness. Thank You for overruling anything that would try to hold me back and keep me captive. I am believing and receiving Your life and victory that sets me free. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
