3. Boldly Receive And Reign In Him .

we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness ofsins, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7.
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.—Colossians 1:13-14
And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision ofyour flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgivenyou all trespasses.Col 2:13 

JESUS OUR GREATEST PROVISION.

As we meditate on the provision promises that our heavenly Father has laid out for us in His Word, let's take a moment to reflect on the finished work of Jesus.At the cross, Jesus gave of Himself completely and made a provision for the forgiveness of our sins that no one else could. 

He chose to lay down His life in exchange for ours. All our sins, failures and mistakes are forever washed away by the precious blood shed at Calvary! Truly, in Christ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, "according to the riches of His grace."My friend, God's grace toward you is bountiful and rich. Today, receive His grace, His forgiveness, His love and His mercy in a fresh and powerful way. 

It is not material wealth that makes one rich. Having Jesus is your greatest wealth! The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"John 1:29. 
With his own blood not the blood of goats and calves he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever. Hebrews 9:12, NLT.
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches inglory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 

RECEIVE THE PROVISION OF FORGIVENESS DAILY.

Many people think that forgiveness is a basic teaching, that it is something you learn when you are a new believer and then you move on to more "complex" truths in God's Word.My friend, I submit to you that there is nothing basic about having a deep and abiding revelation of forgiveness. In fact, I believe that if you want to live the Christ-life and walk in the fullness of His divine provision, you need to meditate on His forgiveness daily. 

Personally, that is what I endeavor to do every single day when I partake of the Holy Communion in the privacy of my study. I take the bread in my hand and thank Jesus for His provision of health, healing and wholeness for me. Then, I hold up the cup and thank my Savior for the provision of His blood that washes me whiter than snow and makes me righteous! 

Beloved, look to the cross and see how He has made possible every provision you need! I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. —1 John 2:12.
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins andtheir lawless deeds I will remember no more.—Hebrews 8:12.
He adds,"Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."Heb-10:17 

GOD DOES NOT REMEMBER YOUR SINS

My friend, do you believe today that God does not remember your sins? This is a truth that our finite human minds struggle to comprehend. How can an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God not remember our sins? An all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present God should rightly be able to remember every single detail of every sin that we have committed. 

But that's not what the Word ofGod says. God declares, "For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more." I believe many believers are fearful to come close to God today and receive what they need from Him becausethey don't believe that God truly remembers their sins no more.

My friend, simply believe God's Word, that through the provision of Jesus' sacrifice, God indeed remembers your sins no more! Start living without the cloud of guilt, shame, condemnation and judgment over your head. 
Stand bold and righteous in Christ and expect to receive His best! There is NO sin standing inthe way of your blessing that JESUS didn't take care of.

"Your sins I will NEVER, BY NO MEANS, remember."
God For He made Him who knew no sin to he sin for us, that we mightbecome the righteousness of God in Him.—2 Corinthians 5:21
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers... 1 Peter 3:12...
He hears the prayer of the righteous. Proverbs 15:29.
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. —Psalm 34:17... 
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. —James 5:16, NLT 

YOUR PRAYERS PRODUCE WONDERFUL RESULTS.

When Jesus was crucified on the cross, not only did He washaway all your sins with His precious blood, but He also gave you His very own RIGHTEOUSNESS as a gift. Do you know that you can never lose this righteousness? Your righteousness is a giftfrom Jesus because it is entirely dependent on His perfect performance and His perfect obedience, not yours.

So my friend, because you are forever righteous in Christ, God hears your prayers every time you pray. The apostle James tells us that the earnest prayer of a righteous man that's YOU "produces wonderful results." Not just plain results, but wonderful results!What provision do you need today, righteous one? Favor for an interview, wisdom to clear your debts, healing for your children? As a righteous man or woman of God, boldly ask Jesus for what you need in prayer!
