AFFIRM THE GOOD THINGS IN YOU.
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6).
For the communication or demonstration of your faith to be effectual, you have to acknowledge every good thing thatβs in you, in Christ Jesus. Some Christians only look for and acknowledge negative things in their lives. Theyβd say, βIβm so impatient. My life is so full of fear. Iβm so frustrated; I donβt know what is happening to meβ¦.β Talking yourself down like that will make your faith defective and ineffective. Instead, look and see the perfections of Christ in you. Acknowledge every good thing in you in Christ Jesus.
Never voice your seeming inabilities, disabilities, or frustrations; rather, affirm the Word and the good things in you. Thereβre good things in you. If you donβt know what they are, then look into the Word to find out. For example, Galatians 5:22 enumerates some of the good things in you: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness and faith. These are features of your recreated human spirit. Acknowledge that youβre loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, gentle, good and meek; otherwise, even though these virtues are in you, theyβll not work.
Psalm 82:5-7 says, βThey know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like menβ¦.β Itβs not to be desired what happens to those who donβt acknowledge who they are and what they have in Christ Jesus; they walk on in darkness, living like ordinary men even though God has declared them to be gods. Isnβt that sad?
Christ is in you. The Bible says greater is He thatβs in you, than he thatβs in the world. You have the life of God in you. The righteousness of God is in your spirit. Youβre an associate of the God-kind. Youβre sufficient in Christβs sufficiency. The excellence of the Spirit is in you. Acknowledge and affirm these and other blessings of Christ that are in you, always.
CONFESSION
Of Christβs fullness, Iβve received grace heaped upon grace. Heβs been made unto me wisdom; therefore, Iβm wise, and I have extraordinary amplitude of comprehension. Iβm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; Heβs my right-wiseness. The prince of this world comes, and he has nothing in me, because Iβm full of God. Iβm full of love and the glory of God. Hallelujah!
