Satan Knows Your Name
Encouraging thought: “Satan knows your name but calls you by your sin. Jesus knows your sin but calls you by your name.” Jefferson Bethkle
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
As a follower of Jesus, if you sense a cloud of condemnation… it is not from God. Never. Ever. Do not crucify yourself, someone else was crucified for you. Live in freedom. You are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you.
God found Gideon in a hole. He found Joseph in prison. He found Daniel in a Lion’s den. He has a curious habit of showing up in the midst of trouble, not the absence. Where the world sees failure, God sees future. Next Time you feel unqualified to be used by God remember this, He tends to recruit from the pit, not the pedestal.
