5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
Over the last two days, I have been discussing the reason for the birth of Jesus Christ, and I will go a little further today. Before He was born, the Holy Spirit could only come upon certain individuals. However, after Jesus Christ came to the earth and ascended back into heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to live inside every believer (John 14:16-17). This is why He said in Matthew 11:11 that the least in the kingdom of God is greater than John the Baptist who was the greatest of all the prophets before Him. Do you understand what that really means? It means that you are greater than Elijah, a man who called down fire from heaven at will. The birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ paved the way for God to put His very own Spirit in you. Now, you can be like Him in word and in deed. Isn’t this awesome?
As a child of God, you carry God inside you, and this means that you are no longer an ordinary human being. You are now the temple of God.
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? – (1 Corinthians 3:16)
As the temple of God, it means that whatever cannot be found in God should not be found in you. Elisha may have died of sickness in his old age (2 Kings 13:14), but because you are carrying God inside you, sickness has no place in your body. Moses may have had anger issues, which eventually prevented him from entering the promised land, but you cannot be limited by such because God Himself is living inside you. You bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and no bad habit or weakness can find its place inside you. The Bible says in (1 John 4:4):
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
You are an overcomer because the Sovereign God loves you and has made His abode inside you. Romans 8:37 also says:
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
No matter what the devil throws at you, as long as the Holy Spirit is still residing in you, you will always be triumphant. Never give in to fear; remember that the Almighty God Himself is dwelling inside of you, and since He can never lose a war, you will experience victory in all areas of your life at all times.
PRAYER POINT:
Thank you Jesus for sending the Holy Spirit to live inside me.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Revelation 4-7
HYMNAL:
Hymn 27 – What a friend we have in Jesus
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
