SELF TALK SERIES: REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

Welcome to Women of Valour which is about
YOU
experiencing your freedom in Christ, being set free,
experiencing the love of God, and opening your blinded eyes
Isaiah 61:1





Women of Valour, 
You and I are 
PURPOSED AND DESTINED FOR GREATNESS!!!
Choose to BELIEVE!!!

Do you know who you are? I mean REALLY know who you are.

  • You are God's Masterpiece. (Ephesians 2:10)
  • You are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by God. (Psalm 139: 13)
  • You are More than a Conqueror. (Romans 8:37)
  • You are made in the image and likeness of the Trinity. (Genesis 1:26)
  • You are loved by God (Jeremiah 31: 3)
Now you may be looking at those words and saying to yourself or hearing in your mind that those words do not apply to me. Well, I am pleased to inform you that those words absolutely apply and belong to you. They were inspired by Your Father, God, just for you. When HE had them written HE was thinking about you and me today.

I know you have negative words that are coming at you even now. They are reminding you and you are remembering:
  • something negative that someone else has told you about you. (They are lies)
  • how you can act like someone you are not. (Put on a mask)
But, I am talking about looking into the mirror and seeing who God created you to be. I am talking about God revealing to you who you really and truly are. If you are not seeing you the way God created you then this particular blog is just for you. If you are seeing you then it will be confirmation for you. If you are somewhere in between today this post is definitely meant for you. Keep reading.

In this video clip, Lion King, Simba is reintroduced to who he REALLY is. Some of us need to be reintroduced to who we really are. As you look at this clip substitute you for Simba and his father, Mufasa, as God. The baboon represents the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is our Teacher. He leads and guides us back to our Father and our identity. We, like Simba, have to  go through,under,and around some dark things within us to get to Our Father, God. Like Simba, we cannot allow our situations and circumstances to defeat us. Simba was determined to follow where he was led. We have to be just as determined. Our past hurts and  unforgiveness of wrongs is painful. As we hold onto those things it keeps us separated from our true identity.

When Simba looked in the water which reflected his appearance he was discouraged. But we have to choose to look harder into our mirror, which is the Word of God. The Holy Spirit opens our eyes to see Our Father and our true reflection which is Christ in us. As we look, we begin to hear our Father's voice through HIS Words telling and reminding us who we really are.

Our Father is telling each one us that we have forgotten who we are and thus forgotten HIM. We must REMEMBER WHO WE ARE!!! God knows each and every situation and circumstance we have, are, and will face. HE has already worked it out on our behalf. We must choose to believe it.

The Holy Spirit used this video to help me remember. God can and will use anything to minister to us even a cartoon. The same Word that God used to minister to me many years ago HE is using to minister to you.

You are more than what you have become. 
GOD and The Holy Spirit wants you to remember who you are.

YOU ARE MORE
By Andrea Monroe

You are more than your past.
You are more than your present
You are more than your dismal future may look right now
You are more than your current set of circumstances.

You are more than a rape victim
You are more than a mistake
You are more than a sex object
You are more than an abused woman

You are more than a mother
You are more than a sister
You are more than a daughter
You are more than a wife

You are more than a conqueror through Christ
You are more than able to stand victorious
You are more than able to command the storm raging around and inside you
You are more than able to walk out of your prison cells

Now Choose Today to

Focus on Jesus the Chist
Focus on the the Cross of Christ
Focus on HIS blood being shed for you
Focus on Him taking your punishment so you don't have to

Focus on Him going to hell in your place
Focus on Him rising with ALL power and authority
Focus on Him being in heaven interceding for you
Focus on the truth YOU ARE MORE than you have become

If you have children you want MORE for them. Your Father, God, wants more for you and me.

The ONLY perspective that matters is God's perspective. Your value can ONLY be seen through God's eyes. Choose to look in the mirror, God's Words. Speak what HE says about you until you believe what they say about you. Your reflection is Christ in you.

To Accept Jesus Christ into your heart Pray this Prayer:
Prayer: Holy Spirit, I need a Savior, Jesus Christ. I openly confess that I am a sinner and need a Savior. I am asking You to forgive me of all my sins, and mistrust of You. I am asking You, Jesus, to come into my heart. As I am confessing with my mouth and believing in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Lord who came to this earth, died, and was resurrected on the third day. I choose today to receive you into my heart according to Romans 10: 9 - 10. I choose to trust you with the rest 0f my life. 

If you prayed this prayer and believed it about you. Welcome to the family!!! Tell someone about your decision to accept Jesus Christ.

Now let's do this exercise as a child of the King who has accepted you into HIS family.


PRAYER: Daddy, God, I thank You for opening my eyes to see you. I thank you in advance for opening my eyes to see myself the way You see me. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to teach me Your Word and make it real and applicable for my life. I thank You, Father, for leading me through the process. Lord, I thank You for healing my past hurts, brokenness, shame, and regrets. I thank You for the miracles You are working in and around me. I thank You for never leaving me or forsaking me in the process. I thank You for showing me that I am Your child today. You have a plan, purpose and destiny for me. I come into agreement with You, Holy Spirit, for my new life in Christ. In Jesus' Name, Amen!!!

QUESTIONS:

I pray something you read touched your heart to walk closer to God.
