August 10, 2019 Rick Warren Daily Hope Devotional : Topic - You Need God’s Power for Lasting Change

- , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

“I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question?”(Romans 7:24 The Message).

Have you figured out yet that you’re often your own worst enemy? Your own reactions, fears, and inadequacies can cause you to act in foolish ways. I know that’s true for me.
I need to be saved from myself because there are things I don’t like about me—things I wish I had done differently, things I’d like to change. But I can’t change them, at least not on my own power. I need an outside power source.
You may be saying, “I can change.” I hate to say this, but you can’t. At the start of each new year, you may make a list of resolutions, but by the end of January, that list sits in the trash. Why? Because you can’t change on your own; you need God’s power. You need a Savior—someone who can make the changes you can’t make yourself.
If you’re honest about it, sometimes you feel like your life is out of control. That’s a pretty common feeling. Welcome to the human race!
The apostle Paul felt that way nearly 2,000 years ago. He says this in the Bible: “I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question? The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does” (Romans 7:24-25 The Message). That’s the answer!
You may be looking for that one thing that will give you fulfillment and meaning and peace in life. But if you’re not looking to Jesus for salvation, you’re looking in all the wrong places, and that’s why you’re frustrated.
Some of us think that if we could just get married, or get a certain job or a promotion, or attain a certain level of wealth, or have a baby, or watch our children graduate, things would be better. A lot of people are looking for salvation in a self-help book, therapy, a fad, a diet, or a vacation.
But that’s looking in the wrong places.
The answer is not in your circumstances. It’s not in a place or a program or a pill. The answer is a person: Jesus Christ. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand and accept that, life is never going to make sense.
Talk It Over

  • How would your life change if you fully accepted your dependence upon Jesus? What would a “fully accepting” faith look like?
  • What step can you take to give control of your life to God? How often do you need to take that step?
  • What does it mean to be made “for God”?

Give hope, prayer, and encouragement below. Post a comment & talk about it.
