A few years ago I was asked to tell a small group of women friends who I was. It took me a little while to figure this out. I had allowed the devil to lie to me for years about who I was. See, he likes to tell me that I am not worthy or that I don't deserve this, this or that. It took me a long time to come to realize that not only is he a liar but the father of lies! I came to the conclusion that I AM worthy. I AM deserving... here is my list of "Who I AM"...
I challenge YOU to take a good long look at the lies that the devil tells YOU about who you are...
I AM a lot of things, servant, wife, mother and friend. I am compassionate, loving, loyal...I could go on BUT these things are not as important to me as the list below...All of these things I "AM" listed below are WHY I "AM" the things above....
I am... loved
1 John 4:19
We love Him because He first loved us.
I am... safe
Proverbs 1:33
But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure,
without fear of evil."
I am... strong
2 Timothy 2:1
You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
I am... righteous
2 Corinthians 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him
I am... beautiful
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
I am... fearfully and wonderfully made
Psalm 139:14
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
I am... full of joy
John 15:11
"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
I am... full of grace
Ephesians 4:7
But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.
I am... abundant in mercy
Psalm 86:5
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.
I am... Forgiven...
Colossians 1:13-14
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
I am... SAVED
Acts 4:12
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Romans 10:8-10
But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart"(that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:13
For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved."
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God
I am... Heaven bound
Ephesians 2:4-7
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
This is me... is this you? If you have a doubt, if you died today, do you KNOW that you would go to Heaven? If you aren't sure of your eternal salvation, all you have to do is confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord , ask him to come into your heart and it is done! God is such a gentleman, he won't ever push himself on anyone. He will take you ask you! You don't have to be "perfect" before coming to him for salvation. He is a "come as you are" kind of guy. If you make this confession of faith, find a good church and get involved and watch God move in your life. Oh and don't believe this lies of the devil! You ARE worthy and deserving!
