You Are What God Says You Are
Devotional Reading: Ephesians 1:3 ESV
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.
When you hear yourself speak, what do you say about yourself?
For years I called myself not fit, not confident and it gave power to low self esteem in my life. Using God’s name plus self-demeaning talk is like using God’s name in vain and is slanderous to God!
Pretty strong statement, isn’t it? Why would I say that? Because
“I AM” are two of the most powerful words ever spoken because I AM is God’s name. God told Moses he was “I AM.” This means I am the beginning and the end. I exist in it all. I lack nothing and am complete.
The Bible says that living within you is the Holy Spirit. If the same power of Jesus lives within you, then when you say “I AM,” the power of God’s name is in front of whatever you say! It’s two of the most powerful words you will ever speak, so The “I AM” statements you speak now are either killing you or healing you! What are you saying?
We should be saying who God says we are after those powerful words like I am healed, I am whole, not I am sick, I am stupid, I am a loser, etc.
We don’t have to try harder to become who God says we are. We must see ourselves complete through God’s eyes, and you will love who you see!
Prayer and Confession
I am what God says I am, I can do what God says I can do. I believe and act out what the Word of God says about me. Amen!
