A Picture of man in God’s Word

• 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:2-4 (KJV)

A Picture of God in His Word

• 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1:1-4 (KJV)

Don’t look at human outward appearance. Look within the spirit of man where I live.

But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 1 Peter 3:4 (KJV)

But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 (KJV)

Realize who you are in Me daughter. Know that your identity is hidden in Me.

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:2-3 (KJV)

The enemy cannot fully know you because he does not fully know Me. He knows he is powerless against My Word. He knows his attempts will not prevail against My Word.

Cast all your cares on Me – not those things that you think that are too small or too large. I do not disqualify My people for anything I call them to do.

Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. Job 36:5 (KJV)

When you bathe, do you purposely skip parts of your body? When I forgive I hold nothing back. I forgive all sin.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 (KJV)

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 (KJV)

Self-doubt causes a person to believe they are not worthy to receive My Grace and Blessings. Self-doubt borders on pride. My daughter, do not be anxious to fail.

for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God; Philippians 4:6 (YLT)

Do not think your gifts and talents are not appreciated. Do not think people do not see Me working in your life. I will be with you all the way. Go in My name preaching the Gospel and believing by faith that I hear and answer prayer.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:2 (KJV)

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:21-22 (KJV)

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2 Timothy 4:2-3 (KJV)

Men are the children of God because He made this distinction. A state of being overwhelmed causes a feeling of inadequacy.

Sometimes humans try to match our little selves against God’s big Word. Our job is not to measure our status but fit ourselves into God’s Word.

We have God’s “Seal of Approval” without using a measuring stick.

The Lord is rebuking His people today. Many of the Lord’s instructions are going unfulfilled. My God is telling us to stop seeing ourselves as the old Moses.

7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain. Exodus 3:7-12 (KJV)

God instructed Moses to stand before Pharaoh but he began to measure his abilities against the Word of God. Of course, this measurement came out short.

God is not giving His people instructions and asking, “Are you worthy of this call?” Follow the instructions of the Lord because you have His, “Seal of Approval”.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:28-31 (KJV)
