“Therefore . . . being now justified* be faith, we have Peace with God (John 14:27) through our Lord Jesus Christ !” Romans 4:20-25 and 5:1
“What is justification* (innocence, holiness, righteousness) by faith? It is the work of God in laying the glory of man in the dust (I Corinthians 1:29-31), and doing for man that which it is not in his power to do for himself. When men see their own nothingness, then they are prepared to be clothed with the righteousness of Christ !”

You cannot repulse the enemy by relating your fearful doubts, by telling him that you are horrified by the thought that you are lost. All this is music in his ears. He wants to make you as miserable as he is himself . . . . But you can answer him by proclaiming the Promise that you believe in the Son, and therefore you shall not perish !

As you turn your eyes away to the Lamb of God (Isaiah 45:22-25) Who taketh away the sins of the world (Daniel 9:24), the controversy with the enemy will be ended for that season. You can repulse him by declaring (speaking aloud) that “Christ was wounded for my transgressions* (rebellion and apostasies), He was bruised for my iniquities.

Today, your Saviour and Sovereign King says to you . . . “Awake, awake; put on thy Strength, O Zion . . . put ye on the Lord (Sovereign King) Jesus Christ, and make not provision for your flesh, to fulfil the lusts (carnal desires) thereof . . . . Put on thy beautiful garments (Christ’s righteousness – Zechariah 3:1-5 & Luke 15:17-24) O Jerusalem, the holy city, for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Shake thyself from the dust, arise and sit down (with Christ in the heavens – Ephesians 2:1-7), O Jerusalem . . . loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion, for thus saith the LORD (Jehovah, Yehuwah) . . . Ye have sold yourselves for nought; but ye shall be (have been) redeemed without money . . . !” Isaiah 52:1-3 ref: Isaiah 43:1, 44:21-22 and I Peter 1:18-21
“Let the sinner arise in the strength of Jesus; for he has no strength of his own, and let him assert his liberty. Let him believe that the Lord (our Sovereign King) has spoken Truth, and trust in Him, whatever may be the feelings of the heart. Let the sinner say, I will look away from my own misery, from the wound of the serpent, to the uplifted Saviour, Who has said, “Him that cometh to Me, I will in nowise cast out !”
Look upon Jesus. “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” It is your privilege to believe that Christ has borne your sins; for God hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53:6). You are under the shelter of the sure Refuge, under the cover of the atoning blood of the Acceptable Sacrifice (Ephesians 1:4-6).
– Bible Echo, July 2, 1894
“Henceforward Christ’s followers were (are) to look upon Satan as a conquered foe. Upon the cross Jesus was to gain the victory for them; and that victory He desired (desires) them to accept as their own. “Behold,” He said (says), “I give unto you _________ (your name) power* (miraculous power, authority, and strength) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you !” Luke 10:17-19 and 9:1-6 and Mark 16:15-20
The omnipotent (invincible) power of the Holy Spirit (God’s own Presence – John 4:24 and 14:10-12) is the defense of every contrite soul. Not one that in penitence and faith has claimed His protection will Christ permit to pass under the enemy’s power. The Saviour is by the side of His tempted and tried ones.
With Him there can be no such thing as failure, loss, impossibility, or defeat; for we can do all things through Him Who strengthens us! When temptations and trials come, do not wait to adjust all the difficulties, but look to Jesus, your helper.”

“Look unto Me, and be ye saved* (delivered, rescued, set free, healed and made whole), all the ends of the earth: for I Am God (Elohim – the Mighty One), and there is none else . . . . yea, and I have sworn by Myself, the Word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness . . . . and It shall not return unto Me void !

“What shall I say? He hath both spoken unto me, and Himself hath done it: I shall go softly (in humility) all my years in the bitterness of my soul . . . . O Lord (Adoni), by these Thy Words men live, and in all these is the Life of my spirit (mind). So wilt Thou recover me, and make me to live !
. . . For the Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are Life !
Behold, for peace I had great bitterness . . . but Thou hast in love for my soul delivered me from the pit of corruption: for Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back . . . !” Isaiah 38:15-19 and ref: John 6:63 & Matthew 4:4
