Where would I be Without Jesus?

Whether you have been walking with Jesus for many years or have just begun your journey with Him, your life has been marked with moments where the Lord intervened, protected, and showed Himself strong to you. Remembering our history with God always unlocks breakthrough in the spirit and the power of thanksgiving and praise is released over your life and in the world around you.

When I walked into that prayer meeting many years ago, I didn’t have a history of walking with Him, but I had an entire life that I was able to look back on and see how He was always there, even when I denied Him. The compassion in His heart ravished me and I was never the same. The more I reflected on the goodness and faithfulness of God, the deeper in love I fell with Him. The deeper I fell in love with Him, the more I wanted to be with Him and spend time in prayer and in His presence!

Jesus gave it all for you. He suffered, He died, and gave Himself up so that you could spend eternity with Him. What greater history do we have with God than this? We have so much to be thankful for, and as you reflect on all that You have walked through with the Lord, your spirit will moved with a passion for Jesus and you will be filled the oil of joy that only He can give! Passion for His presence moves us to pray and seek His face like never before. Remind yourself of what He has delivered you from, every moment you thought it would be the end and somehow, someway, God showed up in the 11th hour and broke through into your situation where you thought that there was no way. This is the God that we serve, He creates beauty from ashes and what has been impossible for us, He has made possible. He loves you and has a wondrous plan for your life that He longs to fulfill in you. I am praying that as you read these words today, God will bring to remembrance the moments that you and Him have shared and that you would be stirred to seek Him and pray with passion!
