If I could Amen and "like" this a million times - I would! Great OP! Thank you!

Finally a reprieve from all these "law-keepers" threads trying to get us off of what Christ has already done to go back to living by the Law instead of His life in us. A Christ-focused thread is a God send to us.

The acknowledging of every good thing that is in us in Christ makes our faith effective. We need to be agreeing with what God says about us!

The Greek word for confess means to "say the same thing". We humble ourselves before our Father when we say what God says about us - not what our circumstances nor our experiences have told us in the past.

Philemon 1:6 (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP] That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

The main difficulty is that we can neither see nor feel our Spirit. Everything that Paul stated about the Gentile believer is true only in the spirit. Only when we believe it in our hearts, then we can start manifesting the spiritual blessings into the physical world.

The difference between reading words on a page telling yourself those gorgeous compliments describe you and God Almighty saying to you personally “I love you” is wider than the distance between death valley and Mt. Everest.

If anyone is lacking in confidence as to who they are in Christ, it’s much better to seek Him and ask Him what He has to say on the subject. 1000 times better!
