Below are excerpts from Margaret Feinberg’s book “More Power to You”. May you be blessed as you read and personalize these thoughts.
Jesus is the King of my life.
I am who Christ says I am.
I take every thought captive.
I break every agreement that sets itself up against the knowledge of God.
My purpose is to love, serve, glorify, and enjoy God forever.
I am filled with the Holy Spirit.
The same power that resurrected Christ from the dead lives in me.
I am God’s beloved child in whom He is well pleased.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made, beautiful beyond measure.
The power of God guards my thoughts, the Word of God guides my steps, and the favor of God rests on me.
Worry is not my boss.
I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding.
In all my ways I will acknowledge Him, and He will make my paths straight. The Lord is my shepherd.
I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
God is my strength, my shield.
He’s always with me, always for me, always sees me.
No weapon formed against me will prosper.
I am anointed, empowered, and called to reach people far from God.
My words have power.
I will look for every opportunity to speak life, show compassion, and bring out the best in others.
Shame is not my master.
God’s power is perfected in my vulnerability.
I refuse to be held hostage by unforgiveness.
I will forgive seventy times seven and beyond because I am forgiven.
I am an overcomer.
I refuse to bow my knee to the accuser, listen to the voice of the adversary, or flinch in the face of adversity.
God works all things together for my good and His glory.
I will look for the character and competence of God in every situation.
I am on God’s offensive team today.
NOTES FROM PASTOR LEONARD:
1. Sexual Abuse – I recently watched the program “Internet Safety” by Donna Rice Hughes, which featured the story of Michael Reagan. He was sexually abused in his early years by a family friend. It is a very compelling story. Most of our children in Jubilee are grown but you may have grandchildren or great-grandchildren that are being targeted by predators. As a pastor, I urge you to become more informed about the problem so that you can protect those you love.
2. Do you have a family trust and will? There is a wonderful organization, not far from us, known as the Christian Foundation of America, that wants to help you. Katherine Saigeon is the director and the phone number is 805-523-9087. They offer many options in estate planning. If interested, I hope you will give her a call.
3. A new movie recommended by Students For Life is titled “Monster Summer” and it was released last Friday, especially before Halloween. Students for Life write, “What I love about ‘Monster Summer’ isn’t just that it is a great movie for families looking for a fun and wholesome adventure, this Halloween season, but that it is a MAJOR Hollywood production that doesn’t spew the usual filth.”
4. I can’t fathom the fact that half of the Christians did not vote in the last presidential election. (The Christian Post) Look what happened! Folks, we live in a country where we get to choose our leadership. You can go online and get the California Voter’s Guide. It is beneficial. Here is the link to access the guide: https://restoringthecaliforniadream.com/ventura-county/. Please access and please vote.
There are some questions about Prop.6. It is about requiring prisoners to work. You may want to take an in-depth look at it by opening the following link:
Endorsement: No on Proposition 6. There’s nothing wrong with requiring prisoners to work.
