For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7 NKJV) Whatever you think of yourself is what you will become.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim. 2:3, 4 NKJV) The Lord wants all men to come to a knowledge of the Truth—that Jesus has redeemed mankind from sin and that God loves mankind. He also wants us to see ourselves as HE sees us!
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. (James 1:22-25 NKJV)
When we look into the Word of God, we can see ourselves accurately. But we can forget what God says about us, so we must remain in the Word faithfully. We must renew our minds. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2)
God says that:
• We are His children (1 John 3:2);
• We have mighty spiritual weapons at our disposal (2 Cor. 10:4-6);
• We must cast down imaginations that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God (2 Cor. 10:4-6);
• All things are new in the realm of the spirit. (2 Cor. 5:17);
• We’ve been made the righteousness of God in Christ;
• We have the Greater One living in us! (1 John 4:4)
• We are accepted in the Beloved—Jesus. (Ephes. 1:6)
Agree with God, and think these things about yourself based on who you are in Christ. It will turn your life around!
