Knowing who you are in Christ is the foundation for standing strong in the face of adversity. In your goals for 2022 include the "I Am's" in Christ and walk in them.
“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10 NLT)
I AM:
Created in His image (Genesis 1:27)
God’s masterpiece created with purpose to do great works for the Kingdom (Ephesians 2:10)
Fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)
A joint heir with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17)
Accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:6)
Blessed and God’s favor surrounds me like a shield (Psalm 5:12)
Precious and honored in His sight (Isaiah 43:4)
Redeemed and forgiven (Ephesians 1:7)
A new creature in Christ (II Corinthians 5:17)
Holy and blameless before God (Ephesians 1:4 and I Corinthians 1:30)
Loved with an everlasting and unconditional love (Jeremiah 31:3)
Chosen by God (I Peter 2:9)
Don’t let the enemy deceive you into giving up anything that Jesus’ blood purchased on Calvary. Know who God says you are and walk in it – boldly!
“Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.” (I Peter 5:8 AMPC)
All Satan can do is roam around “like” a roaring lion. In other words, it's all smoke screens and mirrors. He has nothing original to offer. He tries to get you through deception, making you think something is that really isn't. If he can get you to believe his lies, then he’s got you.
Remember who you are! You are a child of the King. You’re royalty. You have every possible advantage. Why? Because of Jesus, He already defeated the devil. Don’t fight a battle that was already won over 2,000 years ago on Calvary. The next time the enemy slithers in meet him at the door with, “It is written,” and watch him slither out. He knows he can’t beat a believer that knows who he/she is in Christ. It’s a fixed fight. You have already won!
Hallelujah!
