Matthew 11:28-30 ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.’

DAILY READING; Luke 10:1-20; Genesis 17; Psalm 10

Pastor Jack Hibbs is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills located in Southern California. Pastor Hibbs has a remarkable story of survival from his mother’s womb.
Early in 1957, when Jack’s mother became pregnant with him, his father was not happy. Having two children already, he didn’t want another child. As he left their home in California to go to work in Alaska, he told his pregnant wife he didn’t want to see a third child when he returned home.
As the time of her husband’s return drew closer, Jack’s mother began feeling more and more desperate. By Christmas day of 1957, after putting her two children to bed, she boiled a metal clothes hanger, and attempted to abort the baby in her womb. Fortunately, someone came to her rescue, and the abortion failed; but the attempted abortion landed her in the hospital. Then twenty-one days later, on January 15, 1958, God brought Jack into the world.
While growing up, Jack could tell that his father didn’t really like him, and he constantly felt rejected and hurt. He grew up an angry child and later, as a teen, became violent. From a young age, Jack’s life appeared surrounded by difficult circumstances. He was a severe stutterer and didn’t blend in with other kids because he was often teased, mistreated, and abused.
However, when he was 19 years old, Jack’s story changed positively. On June 20, 1977, he surrounded his life to Christ. Afterward, Jack sought God passionately and eventually started a fellowship which became a Church. Today, his ministry attracts thousands of worshippers and he ministers to millions of people in various countries through media outreaches.

The truth is that great destinies attract great battles, even from the womb. Oftentimes, the attacks on your life have much more to do with who you are destined to be than your circumstances.
Sometimes why certain things came against you early in life was because, the enemy realized who you are and so he started early to systematically try to undermine your future.
Indeed the intensity of the attack, could be an indication of your high calling, because the higher the mantle, the greater the battles.
But no matter what you go through in life, no matter the rejections, pains and disappointments, your value in God’s eyes remains the same. You will always be the apple of His eye.
This is why we should always seek to draw closer to Him. He is our burden bearer, He is the glory and lifter up of our head.
The odds can be against you, but when God is for you, you will surely succeed. Therefore, instead of focusing on negative happenings, which can make life burdensome and progress difficult, learn to roll over your burdens and cares to the Lord.
Jesus calls all who labor and are heavy laden to come unto Him. [Matthew 11:28-30 ].
Truly, there is rest for our souls in Christ.
The power that caused Christ to triumph over the grave, certainly guarantees us victory over every pit of life.
Today, as we engage the mystery of the Blood, every attack that has trailed us from the womb, will surely be terminated. Every hindrance against our destiny will be destroyed and we will truly experience the overflow of God’s boundless love and His extravagant grace.

PRAYER:
Lord, I thank You for the price of Your Blood that has been paid to give me eternal victory. By the power in the Blood, I am delivered from every hindrance to my destiny, to enjoy abundant grace and blessings in Jesus Name.
