Understanding the problem from God's point of
view:
l Sam. 17:45-47
-Facing any goliath in your life whether large or small
when you come in the name of the Lord of hosts, the army of the Lord, the
Lord will deliver it into your hands because the battle is the Lord's. You
don't come in your own name but in the name of the Lord whom you represent.
Hope:
Gal. 2:20
-We are to build a new identity, a new one in Jesus, not through
my own plans, efforts or goals. As I recognize my new identity in Christ,
I no longer have an identity with my past. But now and forever my identity
is in Jesus Who guides and directs my life. My past identifies with the enemy.
Now I am to think as Jesus thinks which is that I have nothing but victories
which lie just ahead. Victories are an accomplished fact in Jesus.
Col. 3:3 -It is not you anymore but Jesus is you. Your body no longer shields the old nature but surrounds and shields Jesus, the inward man in my spirit. No longer sin controls me but controlled now by the Spirit of Righteousness.
Phil. 3:4-5 -No longer have confidence in my natural and physical attributes. I am now of the stock of David, stem of Jesse. I have been grafted into Jesus Himself. No longer do I count on my own efforts, plans, rewards, position, know-ledge, for those are just things and dung at that. My sense of value is not dependent on things but on a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matt. 6:33 -I seek what God wants, and not pursuing after things. I am to be otherwise minded from things, and develop my identity with Christ. God will give all the things that are necessary as a by-product.
Change:
Jn. 5:17-19
-Jesus did not represent Himself but His Father. He did not
struggle or strain for His own recognition or peace and joy, but He did what
His Father was doing. Likewise, we are to do what Jesus wants us to do for
victory is already accomplished In Jesus on the cross. In Christ, we have
the victory over the world, the flesh and the devil. Go forth and claim the
victory.
2 Cor. 5:17 ; Jn. 14:20 , 21 , 23 -Jesus promised that He would live His life through you by the power of the Holy Spirit, this is a reality when we keep His word.
Jn. 16:12-15 , 33 -We don't speak of anything we can do or have done, we are to reveal the nature of Jesus within. The battle of life is not mine but the Father's. If you are living for anything that is outside of Christ, it is dung and useless. All we need in life is to live in Jesus, nothing else is needed. Identity with Jesus, let Him live in and through you. Since He overcame the world, the flesh and the devil, so do you in Him. We go forth in His name, more than a conqueror.
Matt. 28:18-20 -We are living with a new name authority, not our name but His and Jesus name is all and absolute authority.
Mrk. l6:15-20-We represent Jesus Christ and all that He did on the Cross.
The revelation knowledge of this truth in your inner man assures victories
in all of life's trials and challenges, over demons, sickness, financial
burdens and endeavors on this earth.
