Christ was delivered for our offences

This is the power that Jesus has.

There is sin in us but not on us.
The sin in us will be removed when we received the glorious body.
We stand in the value of the work.

Our future is the glory of God
Once you are saved, God wants to justify you
Those He justified He also glorified
As we follow Jesus, He is our pattern Man
Rejoice in hope. In anticipation.
Resurrection is the life of Jesus. He raised from dead and He die no more.

Those who are against grace will not favour you.
We are under His unclouded favour.

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Foreknowledge – before the knowledge of the future
Predestined – God has predestined you with good intent of your life.
God foreknew we by our choice will accept the Lord Jesus Christ. God did not manipulate man’s free choice
Before we have chosen, God foreknew
He predestined those who will accept Christ, to end up conformed to the image of Christ.
Jesus welcome you with open arms because He loves you. He loves you before you know Him
Whatever Jesus touches prospers!
To be conformed in His image and to have the result that He has, that itself is true success.
It is a bondage to please man.
The fear of man brings a snare
Everything is working together for Joseph’s good.

Matthew 14:28-29
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Peter is now above his fear and his problem. As long as his eyes was on Jesus he is above the storm.
A walk that pleases Jesus is to see Him. As we behold Jesus, we are transformed into the same image from glory to glory
Until we end up just like Jesus
Whatever happens, put your eyes on Jesus. Unveil Jesus
When you receive the vision you are transformed into the same image
The only power you have is to keep your eyes on Jesus.
Peter took his eyes off Jesus but Jesus never did.
See Jesus in the preaching. See Jesus in His Word
As You are free from diseases, so am I in this world
Put your eyes on Jesus. Keep the Son in your eyes. The Holy Spirit is the One who does the supernatural transformation in His image.
All things work together for good for a child of God
Don’t allow time to just pass you by.
