Receiving the Promises of Jesus
Receiving the Promises of Jesus
A brief encouragement
“I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough,
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up.
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know.
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing.
You say I am strong when I think I am weak.
And you say I am held when I am falling short.
And when I don't belong, You say I am Yours.
And I believe…I believe…what You say of me.
I believe.
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me.
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity.
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing.
You say I am strong when I think I am weak.
And you say I am held when I am falling short.
When I don't belong, You say I am Yours.
And I believe…I believe…what You say of me.
I believe
Taking all I have, and now I'm laying it at Your feet
You have every failure, God, You have every victory…”
“You Say” Song written by Lauren Daigle/Bebo Norman / Jason Ingram / Michael Donehey / Paul Mabury
Whatever you are going through in this season of your life, take a deep breath and remember you are wrapped IN CHRIST.
The power that we walk in as believers is not our own. We need Him when the race is going well and we need Him when we can’t get a footing…no matter what we do.
Our power is found IN CHRIST. Our identity is found IN CHRIST. Our justification before God is found IN CHRIST. Our life is weighed on a scale covered in the righteousness of Jesus and the sinless life of the Son of God. You are wrapped in His garment of perfect standing with the Father. You have peace with God because of His sacrifice.
The enemy of any believer is an accuser. He does not come with a pitchfork and an evil trap. He comes with a voice. A familiar voice. A whisper that moves you away from your safe keeping IN CHRIST.
Recognize his voice. It always reminds you of your failures concerning the law of God. It leads you to focus on your performance as a Christian. It elevates the good and condemns the bad. It is a whisper that makes the words of others spoken over you heavier than they were ever meant to be…heavy with judgement. And his goal is always separation; separation from the Word of God concerning your position IN CHRIST.
The believer is not found in judgement. Ever. Judgement is for the “accuser of the brethren”(the devil) and the unbeliever. When you believed in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior and spoke it through your mouth, you entered the “safe place” (Romans 10: 9-10).
After Satan’s final demise, there will be only two who will be judged in the very end of days: Jesus Christ and Adam. Every human born to this earth will be found in One or the other. IN CHRIST, you will be found justified. In Adam, you will be found condemned (Revelations 20:11-15).
May this be your encouragement today: you are not alone, you are covered in His Presence, anointing, righteousness and power, no matter what you see or hear.
Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that is where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority! Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm, and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm. Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God, IN CHRIST. And as Christ is seen for who He really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now ONE with Him in His glory! Colossians 3:1-3 TPT
You are always dearly loved by God!
If He had complete control over your life, He would NEVER let you walk away from His presence. He would hold you close to His heart in the embrace of the prodigal son’s father. He delights in you. He enjoys you. He protects you and never leaves you.
Set your thoughts on what Jesus has clothed you with IN CHRIST. (Here are a list of scriptures to get you started: https://www.openbible.info/topics/being_in_christ ).
He is saying this to you, today, “You started in Me…stay in Me.”
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 NIV
“Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know.”
“The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me.”
For only we who believe can enter his rest. Hebrews 4:3
I have made a video for you to lay back and receive the rest of knowing you are covered in His Promises. Enjoy it and let every promise cover you like a heavy restful blanket. :) Here is the link:

Before you hop over there…thank you for joining this community. I believe you are a force to be reckoned with in this world. You are embracing Jesus and because of that you are a light to each part of the world you touch. Your calling cannot be hidden. I am praying that you would break down barriers of darkness in your home, workplace, at playgrounds with your kids, at your church, and in your community… just because you EMBRACE Jesus (John 8:12 TPT). I also thank you because your anointing let’s my anointing flow more freely!
As always, if this blessed you, pass it along.
Until next time,
Teresa
