TODAY’S JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR TUESDAY 16TH JULY 2024
Today’s topic: It’s Not What You Think
By Joel Osteen
Today’s Scripture
But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.
Scripture: 1 John 3:8, NLT
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 16 July 2024 Message:
Today’s Word
When Jesus came to the Earth, He went around doing good, healing people, showing mercy, but the religious leaders didn’t accept Him. Even though He had done no wrong, they falsely tried him, forced him to carry His own cross to be crucified. Hanging on the cross, He could have called angels to rescue Him, but He didn’t.
He hung there for you and for me. The nails didn’t hold Him on the cross; love held Him on the cross. It was all a part of God’s plan to destroy the works of the enemy, the reason for which He came to Earth. Jesus went before us and crushed Satan’s head. He took away all His power.
Now we can live a victorious life. Whatever you’re facing—trouble at work, a child who’s off course, mistakes you’ve made, guilt, condemnation—may be intimidating and seem harmful, but it’s not what you think. You can’t let fear or worry dominate. You just have to take steps forward and discover that Jesus has already gone before you and defeated those enemies.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that Jesus has destroyed the works of the devil, crushed his head, and broken his power. Thank You that no matter what the enemy sends against me, it’s not what it looks like. I believe that as I take steps forward, I will discover that they are already defeated. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
