From the Archives: Do You Really Know Who You Are?

I came by this posting today from May 08. I enjoyed reading it again. I hope you do too. Be encouraged..

Do you really know who you are in Christ Jesus? When you truly know and receive a revelation of who you are in Christ then you will begin to live a victorious Christian life. Meditate on this list. Say it out loud so that your faith will grow. Believe and receive it. You are a child of Almighty God and you have power and ability through Jesus Christ.

I challenge you to confess the following list often and I promise you that you will be changed. In Jesus Name Amen!

What a great article, I initially read this back when it was first written and i remeber it empowering me back then. When i first read it i was very new in the Word (only saved 4 or 5 months) however reading this posting now really gives me a fesh look on these scriptures! how powerful to speak this out loud.. i just printed this up at work and posted it on my cubicle wall.. Now when im feelin caught up in the world, or overwhelmed by the frustrations of life, i can look on the promises and know that i am more than a conquerer!
Father God-
Help me Lord to realize that I CAN, whether its overcoming an obstacle, staying away from sin or growing deeper in my walk with You.. Your Holy Word says I CAN! as i read your promises Lord, help me to fully and wholly trust and believe it will come to pass! Your Word stengthens me and makes me better. In Jesus Holy name- Amen!

Thank you all for your comments.

I know that sometimes I allow myself to listen to those thoughts that pop up in my mind about who I was or what I am still not doing right and I feel like crap. Although I do not allow myself to sit in those thoughts very long all takes is a little bit of negative thoughts placed there before my mind takes over and does the rest, IF I allow it. Instead I remember who I am in Christ Jesus and I rebuke those awful lying thoughts..

Remembering the Truth of God's Word about who I am in Him helps me to be strong and determined to manifest who I truly am in Christ Jesus.

This will be my posting of the month..

My God is Faithful!

My God is Faithful!
Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.He lifted me out of the slimy pit,out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
