Son, I redeemed you, so speak out! Tell others that I have redeemed you! Exalt Me publicly before the leaders of your nation. With My help you will do mighty things. I will be with you when you go through difficult times. When you are oppressed I will be there. Because you have chosen to know Me, believe in Me and understand that I alone am God Almighty. You have become precious to me, and I love you.
Son, there is no other God; there never has been, and there never will be. I am the Lord, and there is no other Savior. From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of My hand, and no one can undo what I have done. I alone will blot out your sins for My own sake and will never think of them again.
Your leaders have rebelled against My words, and they scorn My counsel. What stupidity and ignorance – that they have closed their eyes to the truth. Their minds are shut and they cannot think clearly. They trust in something that can’t help them at all. Remember, from evil people come evil deeds, and they will suffer for their sins.
Son, not everything is good for you. You must run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body, and your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in you. Therefore, you do not belong to yourself, for I bought you with a high price, so you must honor Me with your body.
Lord, thank You for Your words because they have the power to heal. When I am afraid it is Your word that encourages me to stay strong in my faith. Help me to keep my conscience sensitive so that it will bother me when I do things I should not have done. You are my advocate, and You will rescue me. Thank You that when I cry, “Lord, help me,” You always rescue me!
