Join Me On the Journey

You’ve Already Got It

Friday, June 1, 9:45 am

The book of Ephesians is written to remind us that all things are accomplished in Christ. However, most Christians don’t live their life that way. We spend our entire lives asking the Lord to heal us; to deliver us; to bless us; to prosper us. We’re always asking God to do something.

Most of us believe that God can do anything, but we don’t truly believe that He has (past tense) done very much; or we believe that God can do something, but we doubt that He will do it for us.

And yet, the book of Ephesians is written from the exact opposite perspective. It’s all about what God has already done. As victorious Christians:

  • we aren’t seeking victory, but rather enforcing the victory that has already been purchased for us through Christ
  • we aren’t trying to win a battle, but rather we are coming from a battle that has already been won for us
  • we aren’t trying to live a victorious life, but rather we are fighting to keep the victorious life Satan is trying to steal from us
  • we aren’t asking God to bless us, but rather we are receiving the blessing God has already commanded on us

What we should be doing is fighting a good fight of faith to get rid of our our poverty mentality and begin believing that we’re blessed, start acting like we’re blessed, and start talking like we are already blessed. As we do these things, we are just appropriating what God has already provided for us through Christ’s death and atonement.This requires a big change in thinking for most of us.

I’ve been writing to you about faith and that you already have all the faith that you are ever going to have in your spirit. If you aren’t seeing that faith manifest, it’s a matter of changing your thinking; your focus.

I’ll be writing more over the coming days so look for that.

God bless you on your Journey!

    Wow. Poverty mentality. This really grabbed me. I’ve been reading a lot from several different places about changing my thinking, and this is very timely for me to hear.
