JESUS: THE MIGHTY GOD

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government

will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful,

Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

ISAIAH 9:6

Wonderful things happen to those who recognize Jesus as the Mighty God and who call on Him. When people refuse to recognize Jesus as their Mighty God, He cannot bless them, for they have shut the spiritual window of their lives. But to those who have yielded their lives to Jesus, He can be their Mighty God. Everything promised in Scripture can happen to you, because Jesus is mighty to bless those who have faith to receive it. What is your greatest desire today? "Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart" (Psalm 37:4)

Lord, I recognize Your might, but my problem is outward. I don't have

enough faith to trust You to do mighty things in my life. I believe in my

head; overcome the unbelief of my heart.

Jesus is the Mighty God to answer prayer. He is also the Mighty God to overcome bad habits and to give you strength to resist temptation. He is the Mighty God to give you peace in the middle of a storm. He can take you off of your wayward path and give you purpose in life. He transforms from the inside out. If you need a spiritual makeover, call on Jesus, your Mighty God.

Jesus, be mighty to discipline my thoughts. Be mighty to focus my

emotions in worship to You. Be mighty to strengthen my will against

temptation. Be mighty to use my body as Your temple. Amen.

Reading: Mark 9:2-13

Key Thought: Jesus can change you from the inside out.
