Who Am I?

I am a born-again believer in Christ Jesus – “a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”. (II Cor 5:17)

How many times does the devil tell you that you’re a “nobody”, and you’re not going anywhere in life? How many times do you begin to think upon these things, and agreement begins to take place in your heart? Then you begin to confess it out of your mouth, after which comes the manifestation, and you begin to enter back into sin.

What happens here is that the devil has subtly gotten you to come into agreement with him. Why? Because you do not believe in your heart as you say. Your confession has become tested as the devil tested Jesus. (Luke 4:1-3) Jesus was tested by the devil, and because Jesus knew who He was, He had no need to prove who He was to Satan. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop the tempter from attacking Jesus. Jesus was wise. He fought His enemy with the Word of God. Jesus said unto the devil, “It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Luke 4:4)

See, the Word of God is the ammunition that puts the devil in flight. Hebrews 4:12 says “the word is quick, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword”, and the Word even divides the truth from the lies of the enemy.

Jesus is the Word! What are you using when the enemy attacks your mind and tells you that you’re not a new creature, that the pleasures of life which you so enjoy are only part of your livelihood, and that God understands?

The devil uses the pleasures of life to hide certain things that a born-again believer, new creature in Christ Jesus, has no business doing. What is it that you’re doing that you have no business doing? Only you can answer this.

Wake up and receive the truth for “the truth shall make you free”. (John 8:32)

As the lies of the devil come to your mind, let them not be true. You have the right to “cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God”.

(II Corinthians 10:5) Remind the devil it is written.

I encourage you, Jesus’s people, to renew your mind in the Word of God in order to become transformed in your mind so your thoughts, ways, and actions will be like God’s. The devil knows who you are, but some of us are not sure who we are in Christ Jesus. We have become wavering in our minds.

Let your confession be of the Word of God. Life is in the Word of God. Train your tongue to confess that you’re a new creature in Christ Jesus and give the devil back his dirty thoughts.
