Who am I? No, this is Who I am…

From a recent message.

I had kids go home an write these over the mirror in permsnent marker. That way they had to see who He says they are verses what they are looking at at that moment.
Hope it helps!!

The Message (Matt. 10: 38-39)"If you don't go all the way with me, through thick and thin, you don't deserve me. If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me.

Romans 8 is emphatic when it says, "Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies. Who is he that condemns? It is Christ who died, rose again, and sits at the right hand of God making intercession for us."

Too often I believe the lies and accusations of the enemy. I either am ignorant of what God has said or I willingly disbelieve it based on my "feelings." I do not need to "feel" anything! God's truth is God's truth. "Let God be true and every man a liar." (Romans 3:4 )

I am learning who I am in Christ and I am confessing the same out loud.

I am what God says I am regardless of how I feel about myself. My feelings cannot change the absolute truth of God's word. I must see myself in the light of God's word.



Once I have heard and seen God's truth I am to RECKON it to be so.

"Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." – Romans 6:11.

The word reckon is "logizomai" in Greek, which means to calculate, count it up, logically sum it up as so. I sum up what God says about me as truth and refuse to allow anything less than His words to get close enough to me to doubt who I truly am.

List all of your faults, failures, hurts, wounds, scars, etc and "reckon" them against eveything God says about you. God's point of view wins everytime!!
