If God Says I am, then Yes I am!

       If God Says “I am” – then yes,”I am!”

One of the greatest “fights” the child of God has is to believe God – to believe Christ’s perfect work for them personally – not “globally,” as a group who believe “things” about God.  But one who has literally taken possession of God’s Words of Life.
Now isn’t this what God was demonstrating through Israel when He said – “The land is yours, take possession of it?”

What are our giants today?  What are our enemies today?  We must discover this personally and through God’s marvelous Word.

We are not possessing a literal land on the earth.  This was suspended by God.  We have a country in the heavens.  (Hebrews 11)  Paul said in Philippians 3:  “Our citizenship is in heaven!”  We are a people of the heavenly places. (Ephesians 1 declares this as well).

But what does that mean on earth right now?  Again, we must discover this through His Word and by His teaching us.

We are called to believe God in the face of Jesus Christ and what He has accomplished through Him!

So…if God says the blood of Jesus Christ has purged our sins, what do I do?  Take possession and say, “If God says I am, yes I am!”

If God says we are free from the law of sin and death and have entered into the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus, what do I do?  Take possession and say, “If God says I am, yes I am!”

We can go through the New Testament and “seize” all these marvelous realities and take possession.  By doing this, we WILL see fruit in our lives – fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5)  Romans 8 declares:  “The Mind of The Spirit is life and peace.”  It really is our personal responsibility to find out and to lay hold.

The world is not our home.   We are people of His royal kingdom.  We live here though for a short time in the flesh/mortal bodies.  BUT we must lay hold of the glory of God He has placed within us, when we received CHRIST JESUS.

Do we seize or possess without a fight?  No this is our fight.  Paul called it “fight the good fight of faith.”  Ah…fight of faith.  Faith is agreeing with God.  God calls His TRUTH – RICHES!  Unfathomable RICHES!

We are not promised a perfect life here.  Earth will pass away into the glories of a coming kingdom.  This is our hope, our inheritance, our future glory with Christ.  So our job is to be learning, growing, attaining in our understanding, passing on to our brothers and sisters the REALITIES of our eternal life in Christ, and sharing the good news of this Gospel with those who are not possessing this GREAT HOPE in Christ.

“Father, strengthen us in our inner man where Christ dwells – and as Your Word declares so we can KNOW the length, the breadth, the height, and the depth of your TRUTH in Christ. (Ephesians 3)  And if you say and have declared we are sons and daughters through faith in Him, YES WE ARE!  Let us fully possess the Truth, Father by the strength of Your Spirit and revelations You give to our hearts!  Amen!”
