“God gave Paul the power to perform unusual miracles. When handkerchiefs or aprons that had merely touched his skin were placed on sick people, they were healed of their diseases, and evil spirits were expelled.” Acts 19:11 NLT

Paul is the man who held the coats of those who killed Stephen, the first known Christian martyr and then tormented and zealously attacked the Church and its members, sending many to jail and others fleeing for their lives.

Think you have done things in your past that God cannot or will not forgive? Take heart, be joyful, live expectantly that we serve a God of forgiveness and future. Our God provides a large windshield for us to see our future and only a small rear-view mirror to remind us of our life experience as we drive into the plans and purpose of our lives. Accept that your past was only a training ground for your future.

Today, boldly accept and enter into the uniquely yours plans that God has created you to deliver to this World. Recognize the power of Jesus blood and resurrection. Accept the power of the Holy Spirit and your anointing as God’s chosen son or daughter. Cause evil, sickness and desperation to flee because of whose you are. Trust that you have the same power within you for righteousness that Paul was given by our Father as described in this verse.

Nothing you have done disqualifies you from relationship with God. Everything you have experienced has prepared you for the life purpose before you. You’ve got this.
