You Gotta Know Who You Are

You Gotta Know Who You Are

Everything means something. We can’t live our lives looking over our shoulders, but we can be aware of the tricks the enemy sometimes plays with us.

First, he wants us to believe that we are not saved.

That is the first lie. When we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior…we are saved and nothing can change that. The Bible says that we cannot even come to God unless He first draws us. That means that He saw us and sent Jesus…just for us. He knows everything about us and He still felt that we were worth it. We are special in God’s eyes, and He would move heaven and earth for us.

Then, he wants us to believe that our ministry is not effective.

Each one of us has something God uses to bless His people. It can be something as simple as having a bubbly personality. We may never know how many people we encourage by simply smiling. Maybe people find us easy to talk to, and we enjoy having conversations with folks. When God gets the glory out of whatever we do…we are operating in our purpose. We get so caught up in what we think our purpose should look like that we sometimes miss God’s blessing. We can’t let the enemy mess with our minds.

Lastly, he doesn’t want us to know who we really are.

I think sometimes we even forget who we are. We are God’s masterpiece. He called us. He not only knows every hair on our heads, He knows us by name. He has made us to be powerful not pitiful…a victor, not a victim…a warrior not a worrier. When we walk in the authority of the Lord, Jesus Christ, no weapon that is formed against us will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). It can’t. That’s God promise to us. Receive it today.

And to make sure we keep our minds focused on the right things, Philippians 4:8 says, 

“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious–the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.”

Well said.

Until next time

Be blessed

Watch What You Say

Watch What You Say

The words we speak are powerful. What we say to others, and to ourselves really matter. The Bible says that, “our tongues have the power of life, and death.” (Proverbs 18:21) 

So, we have to really watch what we say, right? 

I am so glad that God never loosen His grip on us. And, even though that revelation anchors me I often struggle with knowing my place in Him. I mean…I know He loves me, and I believe the promises in His word. The crazy thing is even though I know that…I still find myself sometimes doubting what I know. 

We are going to have struggles. Our physical bodies will always be in conflict with our spiritual bodies. It’s like that for all Believers. But the Bible says that we are more than conquerors. So, when we are going through those times of uncertainty, or feelings of defeat…we just have to remind ourselves of that.

God has given us everything we need to live a victorious life in Him.

He even left His Holy Spirit to help us. Thank God that He knows what we need even before we do. His job is to help keep us on track.And here’s the thing…when we begin to wander too far (Because we are prone to wander)…God calls us back.

Not only does He keep His eye on us, He brings to our remembrance those things that empower us, and that are already inside of us. That means that things like procrastination, fear, doubt, or whatever is trying to hold us back…has no place in our lives. When those things start popping up in our heads is when we need to speak God’s word over them. We are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus. We are redeemed from sickness and disease. We are heirs of God, and co-heirs with Christ. And when God be for us, nothing can stand against us.

So, knowing all of that I speak these words over all of us today…

We are people of faith….and, our faith is strong. Our lives…just as they are—have purpose. God loves us, and there is no good thing that He will withhold from us. The love of God is our weapon, and we will love everyone the way Christ loves us. 

Until next time…

Be blessed!
