Side Note from Lori,
I would like to share this wonderful list of scriptures with you that have been a blessing to me. I tell brothers and sisters in Christ, that it is just a list, but if you will study the verses and begin to confess your new identity in Christ; by the grace of God, over time, some miracle happens. Belief in the heart and confession with the mouth changes things! You begin to see yourself the way that God sees you, triumphant, victorious, an overcomer and more than a conqueror! I had the revelation several years ago that “As a man thinks within himself, so is he.” as well as “A man’s belly shall be satisfied by the fruit of his lips.” I also began to understand that I needed to renew my mind daily with God’s word, but especially about who I am in Christ. This list is marked in my bible, and is a great study with the Holy Spirit. I still study it 5 years later and continue to find more than I can contain. The list hangs on my refrigerator so that I see it everyday, meditate on it regularly and confess them as much as I can. Confessing them doesn’t make you become, it reminds you of what truly has transpired, who you really are in Christ. Right believing truly produces right behavior. Teachings that only teach right behavior can be taught to the tares as well, but it doesn’t produce the righteousness that comes by faith in Christ Jesus. “What takes more faith,” to say that you are just an old sinner saved by grace, or to boldly confess that you are the righteousness of God in Christ?” These truths have the power to set us free, so that we can walk the victorious walk that Christ’s redeemed are called to and meant to walk in. Therefore if the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
So next time the world, the devil, your enemies, your boss, your co-workers, your class mates, your teachers or professors, your friends your family, or even a condemning conscious tries to tell you who you are, tell them you know your ABC’s!
