TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Therefore if any person is
[ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature
altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold
the fresh and new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:17, AMP.
2 Corinthians 5:17, AMP.
TODAY'S WORD:
So many people fall into
the trap of identifying with their challenges instead of identifying with
Christ. For example, you may be dealing with a sickness, but understand, you
are not a sick person trying to get well. You are a well person fighting off sickness.
You may be struggling in your finances, but you’re not a poor person trying to
get ahead. You’re a successful person fighting off poverty. You may be
struggling with an addiction.
You've had it many
years. Don’t see yourself as an addict. Don’t let that image become
ingrained on the inside. You are not an addicted person trying to get free. You
are a free person fighting off an addiction.
Remember, in Christ you
are a new creature. The old has passed away. Don’t let it cling to you!
Identify with Christ and embrace the freedom and victory He has for you!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, today I choose
to identify with Your Son, Jesus, who came so that I could have abundant life.
Thank You for making all things new. I trust that You are at work in my life
and declare that I am healthy, whole and strong in Jesus’ name. Amen.
