It is imperative that we understand who we are. It is also imperative that we understand that our Holy God created us to be His special creation. He
did not make covenants with the whales. He did not cause His Holy Word to become incarnate to save the spotted owl.He considers us, humankind, to
be His beloved creation. We are heirs to the Kingdom of God.
Romans 8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
God did not create any other creature, not even the angels, to be heirs to His Kingdom. This will give you an idea of why the enemy wants so desperately to destroy you. He never did nor will he ever hold the same position that you and I hold in the sight of God. We are special. Each one of us has the same worth to Him. It matters little to Him who we are.
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said;” Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons” He loves you more than you will ever know. We need to realize that, on that cross on Calvary, Jesus Christ, the Holy Word of God, paid the same price for me, for you, for Billy Graham and for the drunk who is face down in the gutter. He loves all of His creations, even those who do not love Him. In our spirits, we must accept the fact that each one of us is special to God; each one of us has value in Gods eyes, no matter who we are.
Imagine that I am standing in front of you. In my hand I have a crisp new $100.00. If I offer the bill to you, would you take it? Sure you would. If I took the bill and crumpled it in my hand, would you still accept it? Of course you would. If I were to drop the bill on the ground and, with my foot, grind it into the dirt, would you still take it? I imagine that you would. You would take the bill because no matter what condition it’s in, it’s still worth $100.00. This is the same way that God looks at us. It doesn’t matter to Him what condition we are in. It matters not at all that we are crumpled by the stresses of our daily lives. It doesn’t make a difference to Him at all that we have been ground down into the muck and mire of this world, of our sins. To Jesus Christ, we still have the same value.
He wants you to come to Him just as you are. Please, understand that you are a special creation of God Almighty. You, personally, hold a very special position in this universe. No matter how you feel about yourself, Jesus sees you as a unique and wonderful child of the One and True Living God. When He looks at you He looks with love and compassion. Once you understand who you are you can begin to understand where you are. You are, from the instant that you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, in Christ. You are alive in Christ.
Because we are in Christ, we must look at this world through our position in Christ and not from our flesh. When we realize that we are in Christ, we must realize that we are there for a purpose. When Christ was on this earth, He looked at the crowds with compassion and love. When He looked at the baker, the merchant, the fishermen, the housewives, the drug addicts and drunkards, He looked at them with love and compassion. When He looked at the good, at the sinner, at the innocent, at the children, at the old and the young, He looked with compassion and love.
What does this mean for us? It means that when we look at our neighbors, our husbands,our children, and ours wives we must look thru Christ’s eyes. When we look at the banker, at the nurse, at the clerk at Wal-Mart, at the drunk on the street, we must look at them with the same love and compassion that filled the heart of our Lord and Savior. We are in Christ in heavenly places and we must look at this, His creation, through His eyes. If we choose to look at our fellow man with our flesh eyes and judge them, we are denying Christ’s reason for coming here to save us. If we do not realize who we are and where we are, we are ignoring what the Holy Word of God is telling us. We are denying the reason that our Lord and Savior suffered for us. We are hanging Him right back up there on that cross.
The Bible says life and death are in the power of the tongue. It also goes on further to say, I set before you death and life, but choose life. Easy quiz with easy answer. What am about to share I learnt it a while back and it is working. You can speak a blessing over every thing. Here is a model of speaking a blessing.It is a prayer that is always answers because God loves us so much when we trust Him. Remember it does not say I am going to bless. Going to is not a Godly thing. God says when you pray believe. So you say what you want to see.
“I am the blessed of the Lord. The sword of the Lord is drawn against those that seek after my soul. The spear of the Lord is aimed against those Satan has sent to persecute me. No evil communication shall be successful against me because I am God’s favored servant. No curses that are spoken against me, released towards me, or sent my way by the wicked or the religious will be successful against me this day. They will not light upon me but slide down to the ground, sterile and non-effective.
I am under authority. I am under the blood, and I am under the whole armor of God. Every weapon formed against me will misfire today. I declare that I am
God’s darling (Psalm 35:17). I am the favored of the Lord. A Joseph mantle is upon me. I am set apart for such a time as this. In the spirit world, I walk with a coat of many colors. I have the wisdom to prevail and solve mysteries, the strength to persevere, and the mind to excel and succeed.
I bless my:
• Blood to flow right!
• Heart to beat right!
• Bones to be strong!
• Muscles to carry me where I need to go!
• Skin to insulate and seal me!
• Organs to function the way God intended when He put me in my mother’s
womb!
• Youth to be renewed like the eagles’!
I bless myself for length of days. I will live a blessed life with a crown of righteousness on my head, a garment of praise above me, and a mantle across my shoulders to do what I am called to do. Angels are all around me keeping my steps and prospering my way. I have great stamina. A wall of fire is about me, and a canopy of fire is over me. The banner of the Lord is over my head like a personal rainbow. I bless myself this day for an encounter with God. I bless my countenance to draw in from that encounter and my face to glow with God’s glory. His glory shall be seen upon me and it shall influence all who come in contact with me this day.
I bless myself to be in the right place at the right time and to walk with a right spirit before my fellow man and family. I will walk right into destiny and divine
appointments today. If there is catastrophe today, I shall not be there when it happens. I shall be hidden in God’s pavilion. If there is violence today, I will
not be there; the angels of God shall direct me away from the path of the violent. I will hear of it, but it will not come near to me. I am not under the circumstances, under the weather, or under fire. I am mounting up, and I have a broad wing span. I will rise above it all. My enemies will spread their nets for my feet, but I will see their pit and step around their trap. I shall escape; yet they shall fall into the very hole they prepared for me. This day, God is in the process of frustrating the tokens of the liars. He is bringing great controversy to my enemies’ camp. Confusion totally drowns those that would dare to tamper with God’s purposes for my life. I do not just believe I am blessed; I walk it out. I will demonstrate it. I decree it to be so. I speak that the mountains be brought down, my valleys be brought up, and the path of the Lord be made straight in my life. My way is not hard nor the path difficult.
I am alive by Jehovah’s decree. I will stay alive and be active and productive. My life will be full of good works so that when Jehovah decrees my time is up I
will not linger nor languish, but have treasures to lay at the Master’s feet. It will be a life well lived! I bless myself in Jesus’ Name!”
Jesus and Satan were having an argument as to who was the better programmer.
This went on for a few hours until they agreed to hold a contest with God as the judge.
They sat at their computers and began.
They typed furiously for several hours, lines of code streaming up on the screen.
Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning struck, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power was restored, and
God announced that the contest was over. He asked Satan to show what he had come up with.
Satan was visibly upset, and cried, “I have nothing! I lost it all when the power went out.”
“Very well, then,” God said, “Let us see if Jesus did any better.”
Jesus entered a command, and the screen came to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir poured forth from the speakers.
Satan was astonished. He stuttered, “But how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus’s program is intact! How did he do it?”
God chuckled, “Jesus saves”
