What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see your weaknesses, your inadequacies, your imperfections? Or, do you see what God sees? He sees you IN CHRIST—holy, blameless, free from accusation and accepted as a dearly loved child! He sees you as complete and more than a conqueror, because the conqueror lives IN YOU!

Believe in yourself! You can’t be truly effective in the world until you gain an understanding of how much God loves and values you. Look in the mirror and tell the person you see that in God’s eyes you are a winner and an overcomer. Not because of any abilities or skills on your part, but because when you accepted Christ, He came to live in you and brought all of His love and ability with Him!

The most influential voice in your life is the one on the inside of you. It either affirms that you can do great things in life, or it whines that you’re in one way or another a victim of circumstance. It continually echoes whatever has been fed into your life, which is why it’s so important to feed on the truth of God’s Word!

When you made Jesus Lord of your life, He came to live inside you, taking away your sins, sicknesses and failures, and replaced it all with HIS life. What does that mean? You’re forgiven! You’re healed! He restored the dominion and authority to you in the earth that had been lost to the devil! Now you have the ability to live your life through Him—a powerful, victorious life that sets other captives free and brings glory to God!

First Peter 1:23 tells us that the seed of God, His Word, is incorruptible. So we can have confidence and expectation that when we hear the Word of God and it lands in the soil of our heart, something good is going to come forth from it! Since God’s Word is incorruptible, it cannot be changed and is a force that has the ability to transform our lives!

If you are born again you are IN Christ and He is in you! He took away everything you had in Adam, and gave you everything that He had, including the dominion and authority Adam lost to Satan. This includes dominion over sickness, disease, lack and fear—Jesus has given you a brand new identity!

Scripture tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that God has plans to prosper you. He has planned for your health and your future. There is a destiny that is before you so believe it! And don’t stop there—expect it, plan for it, dream it, speak it out loud!

We are now seated at the right hand of God, permanently in the presence of God! It’s NOT something that we have to atone for or “measure up” to be there! Our sins were wiped out permanently! We must believe what we see in the Word of God that says we are raised up above all sickness, disease, poverty, lack, fear, weakness, every diagnosis and anything that would come against us!

What are your possibilities in life and ministry? God has set no limits! Some people spend half their life trying to find the will of God, while others are wondering if they accomplished it. Jesus has made you a success; now go out and show the world!

Believe in yourself! You can’t be effective in the world until you can be good to yourself.  Look in the mirror and tell the person you see that you are precious and valuable to God. You can’t truly love others with God’s love until you love yourself!
