You know we're in a beautiful text today and , whatever your time zone is , however , you measure life through the lens that you use . We welcome you today onto this daily devotional podcast , and we are in Romans , chapter 8 , verse 38 .
Speaker 1For I am convinced , neither death nor life . When you look at this , the scripture is telling us the two opposites of every end of every area of life neither death nor life , neither angels nor demons , nor the present nor the future , not any powers . Do we realize that there is nothing in all creations , from demonic forces to angelic hosts , neither life nor death itself ? There is nothing , nor the present , nor the future , nor any powers . There is nothing in this world that can separate you . There is nothing in this world that can take you out of the love of God . Do you feel that you are disconnected ? Do you feel that you have been pushed aside ? Do you feel that society right around you now is pushing you out the way ? Don't worry what the world is doing to you . Realize who you are in Christ Jesus and grab yourself a Bible and see for your very selves .
Speaker 1Verse 38 and verse 39 of Romans , chapter 8 . Verse 39 says Neither height nor depth , nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus . What a text to start the day , to be in the middle of the day or to even end the day , whatever your time zone is . I need to encourage you at this moment that there is nothing in all creation , nothing in this world , nothing below the earth , nothing in the heavenly realms in this world , nothing below the earth , nothing in the heavenly realms . There is nothing that can separate myself or you from the love
of God that is in Christ Jesus .
Speaker 1If you have a Bible , turn to John 3.16 . The Bible says for God so loved the world that he gave . Do you know what he gave us his son ? Even while I was a sinner , his love was strong for me . Even while I fail him . Now , to this day , even when I let him down , even when I miserably do things wrong , no matter what comes my way , no matter what hits the front door of life , there is nothing in all creation , neither height nor depth , nor power , nor sickness nor disease , nor demonic force or angelic heavenly host , that can separate me or you from the beauty and the love of our Lord God , the love of God that is in Christ Jesus .
Speaker 1Do I actually realize how powerful this love is ? Do I actually realize this glory and this love of God , this God of love ? Yes , he's a God of judgment . He's a God of order . He's Jehovah Jireh , jehovah Nissi , jehovah Shalom . He is the great I am . He is worthy of all praise . The great I am , he is worthy of all praise . But his love for you .
Speaker 1No matter how you feel about yourself , no matter what your historical situations look like , there is nothing . There is nothing on this earth , in this earth , around this earth , above this earth , there is nothing in all creation can separate you from the love of God . Think about that as we pause a moment . Podcast . I want to encourage you to realize that there is a love over you , around you , within you , that is unshakable , no strings attached . His love is great , his love is powerful .
Speaker 1What about if we turn to 1 Corinthians , chapter 13 , verses 1 through to 13 , where we read about the love and the power of God ? Have a look for yourself . See what it says . You know God's love is so strong , it has no end , it has no beginning . Nothing can separate you from that love the triune Godhead . Have a read of 1 Corinthians , chapter 13 . Nothing can separate you from that love the triune Godhead .
Speaker 1Have a read of 1 Corinthians , chapter 13 , verses 1 through to 13 . It speaks about the love
of God . It tells us that it keeps no records of wrongs . Love does not delight in evil , but rejoices with the truth , always trusts , always hopes , always perseveres . Love never fails .
Speaker 1And in this book of Romans , verse 38 , the writer writes I am convinced that neither death nor life , nor angels , nor demons , nor the present , nor the present , nor the future , nor any powers , there is nothing on this earth , neither height nor depth , nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus . The power of the word of God is unshakable . You are unshakable , you are chosen and God's love is over you . Today , whereabouts are you in this world ? What are you doing right now , at this moment ? Because I need to emphasize and to encourage you that the love of the father , the son , the holy spirit , is over you . That love , that love that he has for you , took his son to the cross of calvary , for god so loved the world that whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life .
Speaker 1God's love is so beautiful . God's love was displayed at the crucifixion of Calvary . When Christ went to Calvary , when Jesus Christ said it is finished , there is something that God forgets . Do you know what ? God forgets something that is so powerful , but the world always remembers . The world remembers this , but God forgets and he cannot draw it back out of the abyss . He cannot pull it back out of the abyss . He cannot pull it back and put it back in our lives . The Bible says that God cannot remember our sins . God is forgetful , and what a beautiful God he is because he has wiped my sin . He has wiped our sin . Because of that great love , that mercy , that favor that is over you today .
Speaker 1Maybe you have lost your self-worth . Maybe you have hit a point in your life and you don't know who you are . Your identity has been destroyed by the world . You feel unloved . You feel that you can never be loved . You feel like you've lost everything in your life and you are just pressing the boards of life . The drum just keeps beating Monday to Tuesday , wednesday , thursday , friday , tuesday , wednesday , thursday , friday , saturday and Sunday . The rhythm of life has just got you so low Working , trying finding a way forward . Maybe there's people in your life that don't love you . Maybe there's people in your life that is trying to destroy you .
Speaker 1I need to encourage you right now that God's love is so strong and God is calling you . God is speaking to you today through these scriptures and he is telling you there is nothing in all creation that can separate me from you , because God is love , me from you , because God is love , and God wants to tell you through his word today I love you , you're my son , you're my daughter . Come to me , all of you that are weary and heavily laden , that I will give you rest . Do you need rest today ? Do you need to lay the suitcases of life down ? Are you trapped in relationships , in work , financial stress and strain ? Are you carrying the burdens of the world ? God is calling you through this Christian devotional podcast .
Speaker 1Jesus loves you , the fire of God is over you , and if you just take a Bible , a moment , if you can't get your hands on a physical Bible , just find one on a digital device , one on a digital device , and just type in Romans , chapter 8 , verse 38 through to 39 , and you will find that there is nothing in all creation that can separate you . Whatever your name
is , that you is you , that you is your name , nothing can separate you from the love of God . When you realize that the love of God is over you when you realize that God loves you beyond the human mind , beyond the concept of life . His love is fierce , his love is powerful , his love is unshakable and he is the king of glory . And Jesus Christ is calling you today and he's telling you all is well . Nothing can separate my love from you , whoever you are and wherever you are .
Speaker 1Today , we must encourage you to stand strong in the Word of God , hold on to the faith , press into the Scripture like never before . Find yourself a Bible and stand strong , be braggadocious , realize who you are in God and serve Him and follow him . But also , as I say this to you , I remind myself Ben , surrender yourself to the love of God . Do you need peace today ? Because there is peace in God . That God that the Bible speaks about is calling you the God of Israel , the father of Isaac , jacob and Abraham . He's a God of love and he's calling you wherever you are across this world . Never give up . The love of God is with you . Nothing can separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus .
