"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,
that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned:
for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain;
O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength;
lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!” Isaiah 40:1-2, 9 KJV
Point of Reflection:
The Lord Jesus Christ speaks peace to you.
He says “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me.”John 14:1 KJV (See also John 14:27, John 16:33)
He shed His own blood so that your sin may be forgiven,
the barrier between you and God was demolished,
you can enter the presence of God, in His presence there is joy forever more.
In His presence there is victory for you because He fought and conquered satan on your behalf.
He rose from the dead and conquered death on your behalf.
Because of Jesus Christ heaven says to you be comforted, your war is over, the battle is won.
The devil and his demons have no claim over you anymore because the full price of your redemption has been paid.
He disarmed, and defeated satan publicly on the cross
(“And having spoiled principalities and powers,
he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”Colossians 2:15 KJV).
Through His death, Jesus Christ neutralized, dissolved, brought to nought,
him who had the power of death, satan so that you may be completely delivered
and set free from the bondage of fear of death ( Hebrews 2:14-15 AMP).
The reason the Son of God Jesus Christ was manifested was to destroy,
loosen, undo, dissolve the works the devil has done (1 John 3:8 AMP).
Almighty God is not angry with you anymore because He paid for your sin with the blood of His own Son Jesus Christ.
You can now enter into the very presence of Almighty God, the Holy of Holies
and enjoy fellowship on Almighty God's right hand.
Jesus was made sin for us so that you may become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV).
Jesus brought us peace through the blood of His cross (Colossians 1:20 KJV).
You can now get up to the highest mountain and lift up your voice with strength
and declare the good news of what God in Jesus Christ did for you and mankind!
Why don't you take some time for thanksgiving?
When you are ready-
Prayer of thanksgiving:
My Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for the victory of the cross,
by which my sin is forgiven, and I have peace with God.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as my Lord.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I reject, denounce and renounce every working, every influence and
every deception of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill and empower me
with your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I thank you for victory over all the power of the enemy in Jesus Christ.
I thank you for my total and complete redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Thank you that I was bought by the blood of Jesus Christ and satan and his demons have no claim over my life.
Thank you that I have peace with God through Jesus Christ.
Thank you that through Jesus Christ Almighty God is not angry with me anymore
but that I have been ushered into the Holy of Holies, approved by Almighty God.
I ask for the grace to go up my high mountain and speak to the cities of Planet Earth- behold your God!
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

With best wishes for the New Year 2020 and New Decade in which Almighty God is calling out a people who will be
a special treasure to Him (Exodus 19:4-5).
A people who have set themselves apart and consecrated themselves to become His portion and His inheritance (Deuteronomy 32:9).
A people who are vessels of honour in His house (2 Timothy 2:20-21).
For these people He promises to lead and guide them by His Holy Spirit as they accomplish His purpose on the Earth,
to fight their wars and battles and to protect them from the attacks of the enemy.
These people join hands with Almighty God as they pray for salvation of souls,
as they witness the love of Jesus Christ and as they exercise faithful stewardship to make ready
a people prepared for the Lord (Luke 1:13-17).
We love you as we invite you to set yourself apart to become Almighty God's portion and inheritance in Jesus Christ.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
