Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 18 April 2025 Friday TOPIC: What Was Finished?
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.”
John 19:30, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
Are you going around feeling guilty, down on yourself because of past sins and mistakes, not expecting anything good? When Jesus declared “It is finished” on the cross, it included all the negatives things that are holding you back from becoming all that God wants you to be. You need to announce to that guilt and shame, “It is finished. I’m done beating myself up, living condemned. God’s mercy is bigger than my mistakes. I am redeemed. I am restored. I am forgiven. I am a child of the Most High God.”
What was finished on the cross? The past, the hurts, the regrets—it is finished. The poverty, the lack, the limited mindset—it is finished. The addictions, the depression, the dysfunction, the guilt, the shame, the self-pity—it is finished. This is a new day. Things that have held you back are being broken right now. You’re going to step into a new level of freedom. You’re going to break generational curses and start generational blessings. You’re about to see beauty for ashes, healing, promotion, and breakthroughs. It’s headed your way!
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that when Jesus declared “It is finished,” it meant He had fully paid the incredible price for my sins. Thank You that all the negative things that are trying to hold me back have been defeated. I believe that I am Your child and I declare that I am free. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
