Today I want to share a very important message from our partner, Jerry Savelle, through his website devotional:
You Are The Apple of God’s Eye
Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You from those who rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of Your eye. (Psalm 17:7-8 NKJV)
When you accept how special you are to God, all negative thoughts about yourself will disappear. Have you ever felt insecure? Insecure about your abilities, your appearance, your job, your personality, your life? Have you ever felt unloved, unaccepted and worthless?
“I’m not attractive.” “I can’t do all the things that person can do.” “I’m not good enough!”
If you battle with thoughts of worthlessness, inferiority, and low self-esteem, then today is the day to let go of all those negative thoughts and insecurity! How do you get rid of insecurity that’s been there your whole life? By realizing that you are a valuable masterpiece to God. If God had to choose the finest thing He ever created, He’d pick you! Yes, you!
In fact in Psalm 17:8 we find that God sees you as the apple of His eye. As you come to accept the truth of how special you are to God, all negative thoughts about yourself will disappear. You will rest secure, knowing that you really are loved and accepted by God exactly as you are.
Confession: I thank you, Father, that I am perfectly made in the image of Christ. You have known me since you formed me in my mother’s womb, and I am the apple of your eye.
As born again, Spirit-filled believers, we should NEVER allow discouragement, depression, hopelessness or any of the other lying, deceptive things that the devil says about us get in and take up residence in our souls! WE decide what thoughts we will receive and accept and what thoughts we will reject and (immediately) replace with the Word of God and HIS Truth about us! We are instructed to renew our minds with the Word of God so that we will be ABLE to recognize and separate God's Words and thoughts about us from the devil's. Romans 12:2:2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
AMEN! Get the Word of God and hide it down on the inside of you where it will continue to grow and expand and compound inside of you until discernment of the enemy's tactics will be second nature to you! THEN you will begin to operate fearlessly in the realm of the Spirit, doing His Will and getting HIS results! Here is Hillsong United with "Here Now":
Shalom in Him!
