SAYING WHAT GOD SAYS

Proverbs 18:21 CEV Words can bring death or life! Talk too much, and you will eat everything you say.

I expect we all wake up some days and want to go back to bed! Days when  our body feels out of sorts and we struggle to get our thoughts going in the right direction!

We hear people everyday saying things like: I’m tired, I’m depressed, I’m discouraged, I’m fed up, I can’t do this or that, I, I, I! Their ‘I’s are all headed the wrong way!😊

We all come under attack sometimes and we may be tempted to think, “Where is the victory?”  So what do we do to make it real and relevant?

When I was feeling a bit like that the other day I decided to just declare out loud who God says I am, not how I felt, or what I thought, because they didn’t help! Instead I simply chose to say what God says and He says this… (and you can say them too)…

I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. (Let the weak say I am strong!)
I am righteous because God has made me righteous!
I am healed, because the Word says by Jesus wounds I have been healed.
I am enough because I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I am anointed and can do whatever God calls me to do.
I am above the situations of life, not beneath.
I am blessed going out and blessed coming in.
I am an overcomer whether it feels like it or not, because the Greater One is in me.
I am victorious because Jesus gave me His victory and I choose to believe it.
I am a child of God and have access to God’s throne of grace at any time to receive whatever I need.
I am in Christ and He is living in me to will and to do what pleases Him.
I am loved by God and have His joy and peace in me.

By the time I’d spoken some of those things out loud by faith, something began to shift. Sometimes we have to draw the line in the sand and no matter what the enemy whispers in our ears, we need to declare we are who GOD says we are, even when we don’t feel like it, and God says you and I are all of the above things!😊

We are a people who walk by faith and faith comes by hearing, so as we go into our new week, let’s hold our heads up high and start declaring out loud so we can ‘hear’ it, who we REALLY are, not how we think we are, or how we feel. And we can do it over and over again whenever we need to. Amen.😊

NO COMPARISON

Psalm 71:19 NLT

Your righteousness, O God, 

reaches to the highest heavens.

You have done such wonderful things.

Who can compare with you, O God?

When the Queen of Sheba heard the wisdom of King Solomon and saw the glory of all he had done she was overwhelmed (2 Chronicles 9:8). But Jesus later said of Himself, “A greater one than Solomon is here.” (Luke 11:31). 

Jesus far surpasses Solomon because Solomon’s wisdom and wealth was only a shadow of the wisdom of Jesus and the wealth and glory of our God who has pavements made of gold!

When we hear about Solomon and his achievements and his treasures of precious things, we may think “Wow”, but God is letting us know they are a drop in the ocean and can’t even be compared to His glorious Son and all He has done, who now sits on the throne beside His Father in heaven.

Psalm 113:5-6 NLT Who can be compared with the Lord our God, who is enthroned on high?…. Scripture constantly reminds us that nothing and no one can compare to the Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour, our Redeemer, our Risen Conquering King who is coming again.

We can rejoice and give thanks today because our King of Kings is the greatest. He was willing to suffer and die for us. He’s the only One who can work miracles and He loves you and me, which is a miracle in itself!😊. So let’s give Him all our praise today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Psalm 72:18-19 CEV 

Lord God of Israel,we praise you.

Only you can work miracles.

 We will always praise your glorious name.

Let your glory be seen everywhere on earth. 

Amen and amen.
