Day 3: Believe Whose You Are


The WORDS came flowing from my mind to my heart.

WORDS that were not from my own thinking,

because I was not thinking about them.

You know what I am talking about,

when you KNOW that GOD has WORDS for you

because they are not coming from you.

They are like an arrow shooting through your body

without an explanation,

except that

it is GOD!

God dropped WORDS

 into my being, that I so needed to hear,

because it was a message that HE has been trying to get me

 to not only HEAR,

but to BELIEVE FULLY.

WORDS that set me FREE from the roller coaster

of living between

BELIEVING and DOUBTING

who JESUS says I am.

Living in the middle is not living.

It is just surviving.

I have moved from surviving to thriving,

as I

TRULY INGESTED THE SPOKEN TRUTH

of

WHO I AM IN CHRIST!

I finally can speak TRUTH back

 to all the LIES in my head

that tell me

I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH,

because

so many have either told me that

or have treated me as such.

LIVING AS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

is LIVING A LIE.

For JESUS IS REAL AND SO ARE YOU.

Who DIES for someone who is

NOT GOOD ENOUGH to die for?

Why would JESUS RISK HIS LIFE for a

NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

Do you BELIEVE that the you IN CHRIST is

 not only

 GOOD ENOUGH,

but MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH.

A GOOD ENOUGH

that is not based on

PERFECT PERFORMANCE

or

PERFECT APPEARANCE

or

PERFECT SUCCESS.

There is NOTHING

 you or I can do

to achieve the

PERFECT STATUS 

that others may place on you or I,

or the pressure you place on yourself to achieve.

No man or woman is PERFECT.

No child is PERFECT.

All are born with the sin nature of Adam.

We did nothing to inherit Adam's DNA ,except to be born.

And we did nothing and can do nothing

PERECT ENOUGH

to RECEIVE the PERFECT DNA of JESUS.

Actually, there is ONE PERFECT thing

 that you can do,

and that is to

RECEIVE JESUS as your SAVIOR. 

From Sinner to SAVIOR.

CASE CLOSED.

So the words that fell from heaven into my heart were,

"I AM NOT WHO 'YOU' SAY I AM".

And the "YOU" in the above statement represents

 "the me"

 who believes the WORDS I tell myself that makes me

NOT GOOD ENOUGH,

and the "you"

also represents the "yous" in my life who don't know the REAL ME,

as they BELIEVE WORDS about me that are untrue.

Am I claiming that I am PERFECT?

Oh not all, far from it.

But

the REAL IMPERFECT ME

is covered by the

PERFECTION OF CHRIST.

So I stand here

(well actually I am sitting, but my heart is standing),

in the TRUTH from the mouth of the GREAT SINNER SAUL,

after HE was GRACED BY THE TRANSFORMING LOVE OF JESUS

and became PAUL~

"Here’s a word you can take to heart and depend on:

JESUS CHRIST came into the world to save sinners.

 I’m proof~Public Sinner Number One—

of someone who could never have made it apart from sheer mercy"

(I Timothy 1:15).

Are you living on the teeter totter of

NOT GOOD ENOUGH and GOOD ENOUGH?

Will you BOLDLY BELIEVE

who JESUS says you are,

so that you

LIVE BOLDLY

without

anger,

bitterness,

envy,

anxiety,

fear,

frustration,

and

condemnation.

Because LIVING IN CHRIST,

sets you FREE to SOAR above

IN HIS AMAZING GRACE.

Once again JESUS knocked on the door of my heart,

because HE wanted me to

FULLY BELIEVE HIS WORDS

about

WHO I AM IN HIM.

Wow.

JESUS never gives up on you or I,

as it is you and I who give up on HIM

when we are IN doubt. 

Therefore,

since JESUS IS REAL AND SO ARE YOU,

LIVE as IF JESUS IS REAL IN YOUR LIFE,

because there is

nothing more

REAL

than HIS REAL THRUTH

that sets everyone free.

For I was dramatically changed this morning,

as GOD drew me closer into the bosom of HIS HEART

with the WORDS

"I AM NOT WHO 'YOU' SAY I AM"

because "I AM WHO 'YOU' ([GOD} SAY I AM".

RECEIVE and BELIEVE!

"I FOUND MY FREEDOM" *

and I hope you do too!
