Devotional: Two Kingdoms in Contrast

God's kingdom, the Scripture says, ruleth over all, it is established forever, it is unshakable.

April 29, 2024 Two Kingdoms in Contrast Psalm 125:3 The scepter of wickedness will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous.     NIV, NASB      Did you realize that wickedness wields a scepter? Yes, it's true; there is authority in the kingdom of Satan. The Scripture tells us in Colossians 1:12–13 that we have been delivered from the authority of the dominion of darkness and translated into the kingdom of the Son of God's love. There are the two kingdoms set in stark contrast. The kingdom of the authority of darkness and the kingdom of the Son of God's love, which is a kingdom of light and of love. Each kingdom has authority, but the authority of the kingdom of God is superior to all other authority in the universe. God's kingdom, the Scripture says, ruleth over all, it is established forever, it is unshakable.      And when we are part of God's kingdom, then God permits us, on His behalf, to wield the scepter of righteousness, the scepter which has upon it the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And as we wield that scepter, we beat back and cast down the scepter of wickedness, breaking down the scepter of wickedness, destroying the dominion of Satan. We move back into the area which God has allotted to us.      So there is a promise for God's people to regain their inheritance in Christ. "The scepter of wickedness shall not remain over the land allotted to the righteous." For you and me, there is a land allotted to us through our righteousness in Christ. We need to take that scepter boldly and beat down the scepter of wickedness and enter into our allotted inheritance. —Derek Prince To view a video of scenes from Israel with Derek's original audio on our website click here.

A life saved! ❤️

A young woman named Emma* is celebrating her first Mother's Day this year with a baby in her arms… a baby who was almost lost to the ruthless grasp of abortion

To you, a supporter of Live Action, A young woman named Emma* is celebrating her first Mother's Day this year with a baby in her arms… a baby who was almost lost to the ruthless grasp of abortion.    Emma found Live Action last year shortly after discovering she was pregnant. At 21 years old, feeling overwhelmed, scared, and at a loss for help, she sent a message to our team on social media.    Our staff received Emma with love and recommended resources in her own neighborhood that she was unaware existed. After connecting with a pregnancy resource center (PRC), she sent this message to our team: Will you help save another baby, like Emma's, who faces the threat of abortion simply because her mother needed tangible, loving support? Hope was at Emma's fingertips, but she almost turned to abortion.   Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, we've seen an alarming uptick in attacks and vandalism of pregnancy resource centers — places providing tangible, life-affirming support to those in need. These places of true support are a threat to abortion providers.   The tragic reality is that too many women are opting for abortion instead of life simply because they don't know help is available. Live Action is uniquely positioned to bridge this gap, but countless women like Emma have not yet found us on social media like she had.    You are in a unique position to bring hope and concrete support to women like Emma paralyzed by fear in their pregnancies.   You can do this by pledging to help sustain our work that provides mothers and babies with accurate knowledge and practical resources. Your $15 monthly gift will allow mothers to see past the lies of the abortion industry and embrace the gift of motherhood.   https://give.liveaction.org/your-first-gift-will-be-3x-matched/   Thanks to generous donors, your first monthly gift will be 3X MATCHED and will equip mothers who are moments away from abortion to embrace the life of their precious babies. This offer ends on Tuesday, so make sure to begin your ongoing gift now! Today, Emma is overjoyed to watch her thriving, beautiful baby girl grow. Emma represents so many young women who have been misled to think the compassionate position is the pro-choice one. She wrote to us, "I always thought I was pro-choice until I got pregnant. I sat down and thought about the mortality of the decision I'd be making and how my baby is an innocent 3rd party. She deserves life just as much as anyone else and it made me feel terrible to even consider an abortion when I knew I had a helpless innocent baby inside of me depending on me."   With over 6 million social media followers and 1.8 billion lifetime video views, Live Action reaches up to 100 million people per month. Every day, we meet women like Emma where they are — on social media — and reveal the truth about abortion and human dignity to them.    Emma only knew about Live Action and reached out to us because of the sacrificial partnership of hardworking pro-life people – like you – that sustained our educational content and gave her the ember of hope that her story didn't have to end in abortion.    Once again, I don't want you to miss this opportunity: If you begin today, your first monthly gift will be 3X MATCHED and will equip mothers who are moments away from abortion to embrace the life of their precious babies.   https://give.liveaction.org/your-first-gift-will-be-3x-matched/   Mothers like Emma need the presence of caring people like you and me who have already been given the truth. Emma was saved from a lifetime of regret and her child is a living witness of the generosity of those who make Live Action's work possible.   Will you join us today to expand our reach so that hope can prevail and more lives can be saved?   For Life, Liz Urban Donor Service Manager   *Name changed for privacy reasons Live Action is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
