Read the Bible in a Year - Job 41

Today's encouragement comes from Job 41.   The Holy Spirit in this chapter goes into great detail to reveal to us the NATURE of the hippopotamus.   From the front to his back, this remarkable creature has been created to dominate - not to be dominated.   We hear about the tightness of his skin, the density of his bones,  and the sealed portions of his mouth and teeth, along with his unstoppable strength and power.   In fact, one scripture says "you'll never forget if you've been in a struggle with a hippo, and you can bet you'll never do it again."   (Job 41:8)

Let's tie this in to you now....   God, in His Word, has gone to great lengths and extensive details to tell us about our new life that we have in Christ.   In fact, if you are born again, you are a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).   You are something that never existed before.   You are washed in the Blood of Jesus, and are totally sealed in your spirit (Ephesians 1:13).     Nothing can touch you or harm you by any means!   You now have the NATURE of your Father!  The NATURE of Jesus,  the NATURE of the Holy Spirit!    As HE is, (they are) so are you now, on this earth (1 John 4:17).  

You weren't born again to accommodate this fallen world, but to dominate it.   That's your NATURE!    You are the head and not the tail!  You are above and not beneath!   That's your NATURE!    Whatever you touch this year of 2022, prospers!   You are blessed and can't be cursed!  Weapons that are forged will not prosper - that's your NATURE!!    Anyone by any means that tries to take you on - they will wish that they hadn't.    They will also know never to do that again - that's your NATURE!      

So come on,  "ARISE, SHINE, for the Light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!" -
(Isaiah 60:1).  -  THAT'S YOUR NATURE!!!           -  Pastor Jude
