---REDEMPTIVE POTENTIAL / TRANSFORMATION POWER WITH JEHOVAH G-D ~

---'Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”'
---(Luke 19:9-10 / NIV) --

~~~Zacchaeus was a wealthy chief tax collector in Jericho. Tax collectors were unpopular because they collected taxes from the Jewish people for the Roman government. They were known for taking more money than was due and keeping the extra for themselves. I’m sure he was aware of his unpopularity, and he was probably very surprised when Jesus called to him and invited Himself over for a meal. His transformation was immediate, and he quickly told the Lord he intended to give half of his possessions to the poor and repay those he had cheated fourfold. There are those among us who have done terrible things. In our eyes they seem unredeemable, perhaps even unworthy of God’s grace. But the Lord doesn’t see people the way we do. He doesn’t see people for what they have done; He sees people for what they can be. Let’s ask the Lord to give us a fresh vision of the people around us so that we can see them like He does.

THINK ABOUT IT
**Let’s not underestimate the power and willingness of God to turn “Sauls” into “Pauls” and uneducated fishermen into bold witnesses for God’s redemptive power. He delights in transforming our lives.**

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, grant me a fresh perspective of Your power to transform and redeem even those who seem beyond Your reach. Help me align myself with Your Word and desire for all to be saved and come to the truth and pray accordingly. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Blessings,
Pastor Allen Jackson

[ ** Friend, the Lord knows our hearts. Because we do not know His ways and they are past our finding out, we must pray for His will to be done and leave all the consequences to Him. Another wonderful example of this= when Samuel was told by God to go to the house of Jesse, in Bethlehem, and Jehovah G-D would instruct him to anoint a replacement for Saul, to be Israel's new King. We read in 1 Samuel Chapter 16 of this encouraging message. David was anointed (see verses 12-13) Our Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent JEHOVHAH GOD will instruct us through His Word and through prayer. Let's be sure to go to Him when we don't understand His way. He is our Redeemer, and Sovereign Lord. He is always Faithful! ]
