As we continue talking about our identity in Christ, we are going to move from what we think, and what we believe, to what we say. we have recognized the importance of what we think. The Bible says it so clearly, as we think, so we are. What we believe is also so important. We can say all the right things, but we have to believe them for them to come to pass. Words on their own are not enough for us to know who we are in Christ. As we read and discover in the Word who we are, we renew our mind to that new way of thinking. As we meditate on the Word, we will begin to believe them in our core, on the inside of us, the real us! Then as we believe them, we can speak them out and see them come into manifestation in our life. Wen we remove an old identity and replace it with God’s identity, we are continuing the process of becoming more like Christ. It is like taking off an old tattered garment, and then putting on the beautiful robe of righteousness that God has given us. We are released from the old, and the new becomes reality in our life. So as we continue this week, we are not only going to believe and think about what God says about us, I encourage you to say the same thing God says. The Word of God is speaking. it is revealing the mind and will and desires of God. It is revealing our identity in Him. The Word of God is alive and powerful. It is active. Take heed and listen to what it says. When it goes out, it doesn’t return void without accomplishing what it was sent to do. When God says it in His Word, we can say it with our mouth. You can say the same thing God says about you! That’s encouraging!
