Ephesians 1:5,6 - Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."
We were chosen in Christ long before the earth was made. A low opinion of yourself or self-hatred is not from God but from the enemy.
PRAYER is not trying to get God to do something for you by making Him feel sorry for you. It is coming to Him knowing that you not only deserve what you ask because of the righteousness of Christ, but you also have a right to it because it is based on His Word.
Hebrews 4:16 -"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
Colossians 1:10-11 - "so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously."
Ephesians 5:15-16 - "Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil."
As we begin to understand who we are in Christ, as we begin to experience the new birth, a new groaning, a new growing in who He is, we will become equipped in such a way that will begin to exhibit the light, the fire, the love, the power of Heaven itself. The LORD is calling believers to be filled to the fullness of who they are.
We continue to be so grateful for how Holy Spirit continues to lead us into higher realms of His glory.
Galatians 5:25 - "If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit."
John 15:4 - "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me."
John 8:39 - "They answered and said to Him, 'Abraham is our father.' Jesus said to them, 'If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham."'
Abraham was an alien and stranger on the earth. The goal of his life was to have a place in what God was building, not men.
We are not the heirs of faith because we know that we must live by faith, but we become the heirs of faith by actually having faith, by doing the same deeds that Abraham did.
We must devote ourselves to finding what is the Lord's CALLING on our life and sacrifice whatever is required to fulfill that calling.
Galatians 3:6,7 - "Even so Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham."
