Today's devotional on Jerry Savelle's website is a very good reminder that we MUST have the right mindset about ourselves, and who we are - IN HIM. in order to live victoriously in this life!
Revelation of Righteousness
Those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:17 NKJV)
It is impossible to live a victorious Christian life if you are constantly mindful of your sin. If you’re going to live a life of victory, it is essential that you have a revelation of the fact that you are the righteousness of God. To be righteous simply means you have the ability to stand in the presence of your Father God without a sense of fear, guilt, or inferiority—with absolutely no consciousness of sin.
If you’ve made Jesus Christ your Lord, then you already have been made the righteousness of God in Him. In fact, you are as righteous as Jesus is, because He gave you His own righteousness. Perhaps you’ve not yet taken advantage of this revelation, but it is nonetheless true. Until you have a revelation of your own righteousness in Christ, sin and sickness will reign over you. Satan will maintain the upper hand. But the instant you realize you are the righteousness of God in Christ, that you are in right standing with God, the works of Satan in your life are forever destroyed.
Fear of your circumstances will be a thing of the past as you face even the most adverse situations with a sense of authority and dominion. Just as Jesus reigns over sickness, death, and the laws of nature, so you can now reign in life in Him.
Confession: I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, not because of my own works, but because of what Jesus has done for me. Today I receive a new and fresh revelation of God’s grace, and what being in right standing with God really means.
AMEN! Remember, YOU are the workmanship of God AND a new creation - IN HIM! Ephesians 2:10:10 For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
Dare to see yourself as God sees you! As a born again believer, you are no longer a 'sinner'! You are now a saint, who sometimes sins (makes selfish decisions to things are own way instead of God's way)! NONE of those sins, bad decisions, mistakes, short comings is able to change who YOU are - IN HIM! You ARE HIS righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21)! AMEN! So think, speak and act like it! HE is waiting for you to do just that! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Worship with "Look To The Son":
Shalom in Him!
