Today God says:
 "I have removed your transgressions from you".

He promises me:
  "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us". (Ps. 103:12)

My response to the word:
  I no longer have to walk in shame or condemnation because God has already taken all my sins and transgressions from me. He has removed them as far as the east is from the west. His Word declares, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit".

My prayer:
  Lord, thank you for taking all condemnation, guilt, and fear from me. I will walk in true spiritual freedom throughout this day.

Today's scriptures:
 "So those who are believers in Christ Jesus can no longer be condemned. The standard of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Jesus, have set you free from the standards of sin and death". (Rom. 8:1,2 GW) "Be kind to each other, sympathetic, forgiving each other as God has forgiven you through Christ". (Eph. 4:32 GW) "You were once dead because of your failures and your uncircumcised corrupt nature. But God made you alive with Christ when He forgave all our failures". (Col. 2:13 GW)  

Quote for today:
Repentance, as the schoolboy said, is being sorry enough to stop. (Anon)  

On this day:
On 4th November 1903, Watchman Nee (Ni Tuosheng) was born in Swatow, China. Converted when he was 18, he gave up the opportunity of attending university so he could engage in Bible study. When he was 25 years old he wrote "The Spiritual Man" explaining the process of spiritual maturity. In 1922, he initiated church meetings in Fuzhou that may be considered the beginning of the local churches. During his thirty years of ministry, Nee published many books expounding the Bible. He died in Anhui, China in 1972 at the age of 68 years.
On 4th November 1936, Future U.S. Senate Chaplain Rev. Peter Marshall, 34, married Catherine Wood, 22. Following Peter's premature death at age 46, Catherine immortalized his name through her 1951 bestselling biography, "A Man Called Peter."
