Faith building truths
Know your identity in Christ, and start declaring it!
I'm not just an ordinary man or woman; I am a child of God.
I'm not just another person: I am an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ.
I'm not just an old sinner; I am a new creation in Jesus, my Lord. I am part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. I bear the very name of Christ- I am a Christian, an anointed one!
I am not a slave to sin. I am a slave of God and a slave of righteousness. I have been delivered out of the kingdom of darkness. I'm now part of the kingdom of God. I don't have to serve sin anymore. Sin no longer has dominion over me. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.
I am accepted in the Beloved.
If God is for me, who can be against me?
Nothing can separate me from the love of Christ.
I am more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me.
I am an overcomer.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Thanks be to God who gives me the victory through Jesus Christ, my Lord!
No temptation will overtake me that is common to man. God is faithful; He will not let me be tempted beyond my strength but with the temptation will also provide a way of escape that I may be able to endure it.
My mind is being renewed by the Word of God.
I pull down strongholds. I cast down imaginings. I bring every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ.
I'm not under guilt or condemnation. There is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Satan is a liar. I will not listen to his accusations. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Satan is defeated by the blood of the Lamb. I submit to God; I resist the devil and he will flee from me.
I am an ambassador for Christ, a minister of reconciliation. I received power when the Holy Spirit came upon me to be His witness. His word never returns void but always accomplishes the purpose for which He sent it.
I am a believer, not a doubter. I place my faith in God, not in myself or in the realm of my feelings but in the Living God who will never fail me nor forsake me. I walk by faith and not by sight.
I will be anxious for nothing. He will keep me in perfect peace, for my mind is stayed on Him. I will cast my cares upon the Lord.
I will not be selfish; I have been crucified with Christ - I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. By His stripes I am healed.
I am not lukewarm. I am not a compromiser. I will not be conformed to this world. I am part of the end time visitation of the Spirit. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has anointed me to serve and glorify the Living God. I have counted the cost. I will pay the price. I am giving my utmost for His highest.
Keep encouraging yourself in the Lord. How?
