Change The Way You View Yourself

My child, change the way you view yourself. Start seeing yourself the way I see you. Start believing what I say about you. You are chosen and loved. You are My workmanship created in Me for good works. You are called. You are My bride whom I adore. You are the one I came to earth to die for. You belong to Me. I rescued you out of the domain of darkness and transferred you into My Kingdom. You are seated with Me in the heavenly places. Start believing and walking in truth today.

The Good News: Part 3

God the Father has rescued me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13-14). I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me (Galatians 2:20).

My old self was crucified with Him so that my body of sin might be done away with, so that I would no longer be a slave to sin (Romans 6:6). I have died and I am freed from sin by being released from the law to which I was bound (Romans 7:4-6). Since Christ is in me, though my body is dead because of sin, yet my spirit is alive because of righteousness (Romans 8:10).

It’s Not About You

My child, this life you live is not just about you, your calling, your place or your final outcome. Your life here on earth is about Me. How can I use you to impact this lost and hurting world? How can you serve Me and be about My business? When people get their eyes off themselves and on to Me, I can open up all kinds of opportunities. This life is about service, obedience and love. Only when you’re completely surrendered and devoid of self can I make an impact in this world.

A Free Gift

My child, redemption is a free gift to all who believe. I am drawing all people to Myself. Your job is to love them and tell them about Me. The gospel, (Good News) is the reality of redemption in Me, the Lord Jesus Christ. Share this good news. Let this be a priority in your life. So many people are in bondage, but I came to set the captives free.

Cast Out All Doubt

My child, why do you continue to doubt? Why do you let seeds of doubt take root in your mind? Replace all doubt with belief. Choose to believe what I have told you. Let My truth go deep in you. Meditate, see and believe. I do not perform many miracles where doubt is allowed to prevail. Only when you choose to believe will you see My mighty hand move mountains. So cast out all doubt. Be done with it. Choose to believe today and watch the impossible unfold before your very eyes.

Can’t Hear Me?

My child, so many ears have become dull of hearing. So many are bent on their own way. I want you to stay tuned in to Me. To be attentive and listen to My voice. I still speak. You will hear Me when you take the time to listen. Come to the quiet place. Let your mind be still. In the stillness you will hear. In the quiet place My voice will be heard. Watch yourself that you don’t become dull of hearing. Be careful what voices you listen to. My sheep know My voice and I am calling them to Myself.

Keep Listening

My child, I will lead you in the way you should go. Listen to Me. My word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Heed My word and you will not stumble. I have created you for My purposes and when you listen to Me and willingly obey Me, I bring about every plan and purpose I have for you. You need not fear or doubt. Keep listening. Keep obeying. Watch as I do the impossible. Believe My child. Faith is was pleases Me most.

Release Everything

My child, I am with you in your garden of prayer. I am standing with you and intercession with you as you release everything and everyone to Me. In the garden of prayer as you release everything it may seem like loss, but resurrection follows. Life follows. Glory follows. Don’t doubt when I call you to die to a matter or release a person, thing or dream. Only when you die to it can I truly cause it to grow.

The Storms of Life

My child, hang tough. Though the storm rages I am here. Take hold of My hand and let Me lead you through. Don’t focus on the storm. Focus on Me. Even though it seems rough now, I am bringing you into a place of peace. There will always be storms that come and go., but My love is always with you. My peace is always available. As long as you stay focused on Me, you will ride out the storms and come out on the other side. you can experience peace, rest and joy in the midst of the storms if you stay focused on Me.

The Good News: Part 2

God promises that I am saved from His wrath, reconciled to God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24 & 5:9-10). Having been justified by His blood, I have obtained an inheritance as His adopted child (Ephesians 1:5 & 1:11). Through Christ’s blood, He cancelled out the certificate of debt (punishment legally due for my sin) consisting of decrees against me, having nailed it to the cross (Colossians 2:14).

He has now reconciled me in His fleshly body through death, in order to present me before Him, holy and blameless and beyond reproach (Colossians 1:22). God has credited me with His righteousness and therefore considers me to be holy (2 Corinthians 5:21 & Ephesians 1:4). And having been justified by faith, I now have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).
