Who I am....

Psalm 8:3-5 - When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,  what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

There is no doubt the naturalistic sinful nature we have within us. Galations 5 tells us the works of the flesh, Ephesians 2:3 - Among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

Mind Over Matter

Phil 4:8 - Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

the process of how we think can determine and set forth a precedence in our life, our actions, our spiritual walk. When we think of any aspect of our life, and we can finish that by saying “Because God says I am”

I am loved, I am important, I am precious, I am successful, I am victorious, I am free!

WE know this because of what God says we are, 1 Peter 2:9 - But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Its Who He Is

Deut 32:4 - “The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.

Jer 18 talks about the potter and the clay, you are his work, his clay, paper airplane method....

When God Speaks It …

Ezek 12:25 - For I am the Lord; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God.”

Again so when God refers you to 1 Peter 2:9, If He is speaking it into you and over you, you need to believe it, walk in it, live in it, speak like it, buy like it, educate like it.....

Deut 28:13, God will make you the head and not the tail, above and not beneath...

In Conclusion - I am Who God says I am, and I am who I am, because of who God is, and because who God is…I am His
