Waterproof Principle 25 - Your Relfection

 There he went into a cave to spend the night. Suddenly the LORD spoke to him, 

"Elijah, what are you doing here?" 

  1Kings 19:9-13 

One day at our church the pastor spoke to us about knowing

 who you are in Christ and he showed us this picture...

The Mirror is the Truth (Jesus) 

Although people around you might see you as a 'loser', because of what Jesus

has done for us ... He sees the Lion in you. Walking in Victory; you need to learn to see yourself the way He sees you. a Overcomer, a new creation, fearfully and wonderfully made. 

  If you listen to the word, but do not put it into practice you 

are like people who look in a mirror and see themselves as they are. 

 They take a good look at themselves and then go away and at once forget what they look like. 

 But if you look closely into the perfect law that sets people free, and keep on paying attention to it and do not simply listen and then forget it, but put it into practice---you will be blessed by God in what you do. 

James 1:23-25

That which you allow yourself to believe will be reflected by your life

...just like a mirror reflects either the Truth or the Lie.

As in water face answers to face, so the heart of man to man.

Pro 27:19

Elijah was also a man who forgot who he was, forgot who God was...he was running, hiding when God asked him..."What are you doing here?"...
One of the translations says: "Elijah then came to himself" (Realizing the truth)

Are you lost? God is asking you the same question today.

Come to Him. Lose yourself in Him and you will find yourself.

We recently bought a house. We had a problem with registering the house on our names because of my second name (which only my mother uses.... and embarrassingly I recently found out how to spell correctly!) 

Because I didn't spell it correctly, it dragged on for about a month before it was registered on our names.

Now, the previous owner and her family immigrated to Australia. The previous owner had returned by herself to the house to clear out the last of her items, while her family was already in Australia waiting for her. She then lived in part of the house with us until the house was registered so that she would then have money, paid out only when registered, to fly back to Australia (all because of my second name...).

This reminded me of the fact that one house cannot have TWO OWNERS...and so it is in Christ.

If you don't know who you are in Christ, or rather, if you don't STAND on who you are in Christ...You're allowing other owners to live in your house. As soon as my name was cleared, and thank God I know who I am now..., the previous owner left.

If you stand on the truth and keep standing on who God says you are...the devil will leave you be...

Don't relax just yet -he'll come back tomorrow, so we need to keep standing. 

I would like to thank God for this truth and the 

creative ways He has brought this

to my attention. Thank you Abba Father for this truth.

Help us to stand in who we are in You.

in What Christ has done for us.

That you will be the only Owner in the house of our hearts.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

and my heart is with You.

Praise God
