Who I Am

“You can not follow God in neutral.” Erwin McManus

See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for He allows us to be called His children, and we really are!” I JOHN 3:1 NLT

This is something I wrote back in my journal back in March of this year. I share it now as a follow post to my last one. (See Make it or Break it) The reason I share it because I would like you to place yourself in this proclamation. I’m a firm believer in making proclamations; they are reminders of who we really are in Christ. They also remind the enemy of our soul that we KNOW who we are and will act and believe the truth. I hope you’ll join me in this declaration, after all you belong to the King, - JC

I am a set free son of God. My power, strength, abilities, talents, endurance, faith, vision…everything I need is from the Father. No good thing do I lack, Wisdom is free, grace is free, and forgiveness is free. Insight, knowledge, instructions…all are free in His Kingdom. It requires my obedience, my surrender and trust. I will stand up to my fears and defeat them. I will dominate my circumstances and be victorious over them. With God I am unstoppable. With God I am more than a conqueror. When I fail, I will get up again. I may slip, stumble or fall but I will not quit. I am his son and I belong to Him. I do not have to prove anything to anyone. My identity is hidden in Christ and I will not surrender it to anyone else. I can make decisions that bless; I can chart a course that leads my family. I can and will do whatever is needed to point them to Christ. I will live a victorious life in and for Him.

So, what do you think? Are proclamations a good thing?

That is great. If we aren't reminding ourselves of who we really are, someone else will and it won't be His truth. Nice Jay.

Yes and yes! When we take this sort of stance in the Spirit, it does something. It's far beyond positive affirmations; it changes us because it's His eternal word. I'm joining with your proclamation for you and me, Jay! Thank you.
Jay Cookingham said…
And His Word is the LAST WORD! Amen...thanks Jason!

Moving forward, His heart touching us, keeping us focused, and guiding us. That's all we can truly count on. So much else can seem to be "in our face" and "requirements" ... but only HE can shift us in the right direction. Everyday trust is an absolute necessity.

I'm actually taking some time today to look at the posts of my dear ones... and will go as far through yours as possible. Miss your words that touch our hearts, and give us a more straightforward look for our Lord's instructions. Thanks much.
