TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF

TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF

Take a look at yourself in the mirror of God’s Word and you will never be the same again! Your head will go higher, your back straighter and your step will have a spring in it and your heart (or faith) will be stronger! Ready? Look carefully and long, and look again and again.

This revelation from God concerning you is found in His Holy Word. Sense knowledge (knowledge gained through seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting and touching) and your varying circumstances may contradict this revelation, but when you stand on the naked Word of God alone, God confirms His Word. Amen!

God is eternal and unchanging and His Word is eternal and unchanging. He never lies. God never fails. God never puts His people to shame when they put their trust in Him. God never makes a mistake! God watches over His Word to perform it. Hallelujah!

God Almighty, the Creator of the Universe, called you through the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be His son/daughter and so He has become your Father through our Lord Jesus Christ Who died for you. Jesus is your only Saviour. Even though the Father knew the worst about you, yet in Christ He chose you before the foundation of the world. His ultimate purpose for you is that you be conformed to the image of His Son, Jesus!

He arranged your family, your specifications, your circumstances, your locality and now you are in the family of God, a member of the Body of Christ, an heir of God and a joint-heir with Jesus Christ. You are a member of the household of faith, for you now walk by faith and not by sight. You received eternal life and have been recreated by Jesus Christ, unto righteousness and true holiness. Old things have passed away, for you are a brand-new creature, clothed with His robes of righteousness. You have been reconciled to God and now the new life in Christ begins to dominate the old. Sin shall not have dominion over you. Your sins have been forgiven and the power of sin has been broken in your life. There is therefore now no condemnation to you, for you are in Christ. Your life is hid with Christ in God. You have been justified and sanctified. You have the peace of God which passes all understanding. You have been accepted in the Beloved. You are complete in Him. You are the branch of the True Vine. You are the apple of His eye. You are in the palm of His Hand and none can pluck you out. You are dead to sin and alive to God. You are His representative on earth. You are the Light of the world. You are the salt of the earth.

The hairs of your head are all numbered. Underneath you are His everlasting arms. He is the glory and the lifter of your head. No weapon formed against you can prosper. He is able to keep you from falling. Your times are in His Hands and He will fulfill the number of your days. You have been predestined to be to the praise of His glory!

You have a standing invitation to come to the throne room to find help and grace in the time of need. There can never be a misunderstanding with Him. He is your Advocate when you fail. He is your intercessor till Christ is formed in you. You have been linked up with eternal purposes of God as His child. He makes all things work together for your good. You were crucified with Christ, buried with Him and risen with Christ. Now you are seated in heavenly places in Christ and reigning with Him. You are more than a conqueror. He always causes you to triumph in Christ.

Your enemy, the devil, has been eternally defeated by Christ and that victory belongs to you. He has given you the authority to use His all powerful Name at which every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. You have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of His Son. He has given you power over all the power of the enemy. Satan has no power over the new creation. No evil shall befall you, neither shall any plague come nigh your dwelling. Nothing shall by any means hurt you. All the plans of the heathen against you shall be brought to naught.

The law of the Spirit of Christ has made you free from the law of sin and death. Jesus Christ in you is greater than he that is in the world. Since Jesus Christ bore your sicknesses, you were healed by His stripes.

His banner over you is love. He will never leave you nor forsake you. The angel of the Lord encamps around you to deliver you out of all your troubles. He preserves your going out and your coming in. The sun shall not smite you by day nor the moon by night. He will hide you from the pride of man and from the strife of tongues. The Lord is your Shepherd, you shall not want. You shall not want any good thing nor will He withhold anything from you. He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. When you lay hands on the sick, they shall recover. You can cast out demons in His Name and poison cannot harm you. When you call, He will answer you. The Lord is your Keeper. What you bind on earth, He will bind in heaven and what you loose on earth, He will loose in heaven.

The weapons of your warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity, every thought to the obedience of Christ.

You are bought with a price. He will not suffer your foot to be moved. He that keeps you does not slumber nor sleep. His eyes are on you and His ears are open to your cry.

The Sovereign Lord controls all the circumstances of your life, for He is far above all and all things are under His control. He causes all things to work through you His purposes, for He is at work in you. He is fulfilling His pleasure through you. Since He is for you, who can be against you? You are His witness anywhere and everywhere. The Lord has ordained you to bear much fruit. You must sow the seed (Word of God) in season and out of season. Put on the whole armour of God and resist the devil and the devil will flee from you. Be a doer of the Word by obeying the Word.

Find the will of God in all things and be led by the Spirit.

You can enjoy these new creation realities when you let God’s Word reign supreme in your life.

These truths from God’s Word will liberate you and make you invincible in any situation. Make God’s Word the standard of your confession!
