BECAUSE OF JESUS

Ephesians 1:6 (NKJV) to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

Isn’t it strange how some days we wake up and feel good and on other days we wake up and feel down! Our feelings can play far too big a part in our lives if we allow them to dictate our day!

On those days when we come under attack and the enemy tries to bring us down with a load of negative thoughts and accusations, before we’ve even got out of bed, we have to learn to turn it around. So how do we do it?

What comes out our mouths will affect our emotions! When we say ‘God loves me and accepts me. He is going ahead of me to help me, He’s giving me wisdom, He’s guiding and protecting me, and He’s giving me all the grace I’ll need for today’, we’re lifting our spirits. 

I find as well, by taking the focus off myself and putting it back on Jesus really helps too. When we remember God loves us like He loves Jesus (John 17:23)  and that Jesus is interceding for us constantly, that He has us safe in the palm of His mighty hand, then it helps us calm our emotions and steadies us up.🙂

When the enemy tries to tell us we are ‘less than’, that we’re not enough, or inadequate or insecure in some way, it’s then we have to look again to Jesus and remember that in Him we are not inadequate but we are complete in Him. He has made us ‘more than’ conquerors. We don’t need to feel down anymore because God has qualified us because of Jesus, accepted us in His Beloved Son and we are the apple of God’s eye, loved beyond measure, His masterpiece and He’s giving us His power to deal with our day. The more we speak that out the steadier we will be.

We may not get it right all the time but that’s because we’re still on the potter’s wheel and God is still moulding and making us more like Jesus everyday. He is still taking us from one degree of glory to another.

So if you’ve been feeling ‘less than’, just remember how God sees you and be uplifted and encouraged because God says you are precious in His sight and you are His child, and it’s all because of Jesus. Praise His Name. Amen. 

I hope someone is saying Hallelujah!😊
