Good morning! Today is Day 7 of the Redeemed Challenge! In today’s chapter of the book, we read how the Spirit that lives in you is greater than the spirit that lives in the world. This is good news as Christians who live in this world. It’s no secret that life can be a challenge at times. Everywhere we turn we will see difficulties and struggles. But we can’t allow it to bring us down. We have to finish the race strong. We already have the strength inside us to press forward.

Good morning! Today is Day 6 of the Redeemed Challenge! In today’s chapter of the book, we learn that when we gave our hearts to Jesus, we became new creatures because our old sinful nature was crucified with Christ. This reminder causes me to let out a sigh of relief. To know that my old self is dead and I can move on. It is such remarkable news. Sometimes we forget this truth. So for today, keep reminding yourself that Christ lives in you now.

Good morning! Today is Day 5 of the Redeemed Challenge! In today’s chapter of the book, we see that although at times we might feel weak, the truth is that we have a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline. We live in a fallen world which means we will face troubles in this life. But God doesn’t expect us to face them alone. We have the Holy Spirit inside us to give us the strength we need to face whatever comes our way.

Good morning! Today is Day 3 of the Redeemed Challenge! In Chapter 3 of You Are Redeemed, we see that God’s thoughts about us cannot be numbered. Sometimes we might wonder if God even cares, if He listens to our prayers, and if He sees our struggles. But the truth is that God does care. He is listening. And He is right beside you, even when you doubt.

Good morning! Today is Day 2 of the Redeemed Challenge! In Chapter 2 of You Are Redeemed, we read how we are God’s masterpiece. Often times we each tend to focus on our own flaws and weaknesses. We think that because we aren’t perfect, we aren’t of value. But God did make us each perfectly unique. We should learn to embrace our quirks because they make us one of a kind. And remember that you also have a lot of wonderful strengths and talents that make you shine.

And here is the smartphone wallpaper image for the day. By the way, I heard from an Android user yesterday who said she was able to take a screenshot of the picture. From there you should be able to make it your wallpaper. Hope this helps!

I am so excited! It is Day 1 of the Redeemed Challenge! I hope you are excited too! I decided to hold the challenge this month because my book, You Are Redeemed, turns 1 year old on the 22nd of this month! If you want to join the Redeemed Challenge, then I invite you to grab a copy of my book on Amazon or your favorite online bookstore. Read the corresponding chapter for the day and then touch base with me here.

Today in chapter 1 we talk about how we became a new person when we became Christians. Changing our old habits and mindsets can be difficult. It does take time and practice. When you stumble, don’t let it bring you down. Remember who you are and keep moving forward.

I have a surprise for you! I decided to also share a song with each post throughout the Redeemed Challenge! I was pondering this for some time. I almost talked myself out of it. Then God gave me a nudge to do it. So check out today’s song!!!!!!! Redeemed by Big Daddy Weave

And a second surprise! Each day I will share an image which contains the “Your Words Have Power” section of the chapter. My hope is that you can use it as your wallpaper on your smartphone for the day. We all look at our phones a lot. So each time you look at your phone, read the message for the day. If you have an iPhone, you can open the blog post in safari and save the image to your photos. Unfortunately, I am not sure how it will work for Android users. So if anyone figures it out, please share!
