1John 4:4 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. MercyMe have recently released a song called ' Greater ' which is a really affirming song to listen to. And it's based off my favourite verse. No matter what I face in the day and how much comes against me, I have the power and greatness of God inside me and that lets me prevail in the face of all the world can throw at me. I am redeemed and held in great affection by the creator of the universe Himself. Satan can try all he likes, but the One in me was, is and always will be bigger than him. As you go about your day, and your week, remember who is inside you and the power they have. Has this verse spoken to you? Do you have a testimony you'd like to share about a time God has shown His power to you? Leave a comment below.

Matthew 11:2-6 John the Baptist, who was in prison, heard about all the things the Messiah was doing. So he sent his disciples to ask Jesus,  “Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?” Jesus told them, “Go back to John and tell him what you have heard and seen— the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor. And tell him, ‘God blesses those who do not turn away because of me.’” John the Baptist, preparer of the way for Jesus and lone voice in the wilderness has doubt! How can this be? Everyone has doubts and times that they question the things happening around them. This can be very distressing. This can be even more distressing if you believe God has told you things would be one way and they appear another. However, John's way of dealing with this doubt is a good example of how we too can handle doubts as they arise; and they wi

Matthew 26:20-25 When it was evening, Jesus sat down at the table with the Twelve. While they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.” Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one, Lord?” He replied, “One of you who has just eaten from this bowl with me will betray me. For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!” Judas, the one who would betray him, also asked, “Rabbi, am I the one?” This, to me, is one of the saddest events involving the Disciples. After all the time they'd spent with Jesus, you'd think they'd all knowexactly who He is. When He tells them that one will betray Him, the first 11 all respond by calling Him "Lord". And then Judas responds. The difference in his understanding of Jesus' authority is stark and shows how it is that he is able to betray
