You are Beautiful – Created in God’s Image!

What is true of Christ is True of You! You Need to see yourself the way God sees you. If God says you are a certain way, that’s the way you are, no matter what you feel like, look like, or how others see you. From God’s perspective, you are good news going somewhere […]

Yesterday, over 2 million women marched in America. As I began to research why, my heart broke, and I believe God’s heart breaks too.

Why?

Clearly, many of the ladies that marched are angry, scared, hurting, and wondering what the future holds.

I get it.

The only way to truly face an unknown future, is to first face an unknown God.

His name is Jesus, and He loves you.

His love causes us to rise up and become the people of honor we are created to be: but I have discovered it to be a journey, a process that takes years to begin to understand, as we see things from His perspective, through His Word, not through our pain, and the circumstances of life.

When you receive Him, He changes You, and redirects our entire life into eternal purpose and direction.

He adopts us into His heavenly family, literally making us royalty, sons and daughters of the most High.

This is the gospel, the good news, the love of God expressed:https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/the-gospel-the-power-of-god/

What is true of Christ is True of You!

You need to see yourself the way God sees you.

If God says you are a certain way, that’s the way you are, no matter what you feel like, look like, or how others see you.

From God’s perspective, you are good news going somewhere to happen. You might as well agree with Him, and cheer yourself up in His word.

What is true of Christ is True of You

I have simply listed a couple of Scriptures, and I ask you, to say, out loud, the truth of each one. It will make your day!

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.(Matt. 5:13)

I am the salt of the earth.

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. (Matt. 5:14)

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—(John 1:12)

I am a child of God!

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:1,5)

I am part of the true vine, a channel of Christ’s life.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.(John 15:16)

I am chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit.

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. (Romans 6:18)

I am a slave of righteousness.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.(Romans 6:22)

I am God’s slave.

Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” 6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” 6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”(Rom. 8:14,15; Gal. 3:26; 4:6)

I am a son of God: God is spiritually my Father.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. (Romans 8:17)

I am a joint heir with Christ, sharing His inheritance with Him.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received you are not your own;from God? (I Cor.3:16; 6:19)

I am united to the Lord and am one spirit with Him

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! ( 2 Cor 5:17)

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:

that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. (2 Cor. 5:18, 19)

I am reconciled to God and am a minister of reconciliation

There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Gal 3:26, 28)

I am a son of God and one in Christ.

Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”

So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir. (Gal. 4:6, 7)

I am an heir of God since I am a son of God.

To the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse: Grace and peace to you from God our Father. 2 To the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse: Grace and peace to you from God our Father. 2 To the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Colosse: Grace and peace to you from God our Father. (Eph. 1:1; 1 Cor. 1:2; Phil. 1:1; Col. 1:2)

I am a saint.

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Eph. 2:10)

I am God’s workmanship – His handiwork—Born anew in Christ to do His work.

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, (Eph. 2:19)

I am a fellow citizen with the rest of God’s family.

4:1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 4:1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

I am a prisoner of Christ.

I am righteous and holy.

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, (Phil. 3:20; Eph. 2:6)

I am a citizen of heaven, seated in leaven right now.

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. (Col. 3:3)

I am hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Col. 3:4)

I am an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, (Col. 3:12; Thess. 1:4)

I am chosen of God, holy and dearly loved.

You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. (I Thess 5:5)

I am a son of light and not of darkness.

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts onJesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess. (Heb. 3:1)

2 Peter 1:4

by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature

I am a holy partaker of a heavenly calling.

We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. (Heb. 3:14)

I am a partaker of Christ; I share in His life.

You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

(I Peter 2:5)

I am one of God’s living stones, being built up in Christ as a spiritual house.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. (I Peter 2:9,10)

I am a member of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession.

Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. ( I Peter 2:11)

I am an alien and stranger to this world in which I temporarily live.

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (I Peter 5:8)

I am an enemy of the devil.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. (I John 3:1,2)

I am a child of God and I will resemble Christ when He returns.

We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. (I John 5:18)

I am born of God, and the evil one—the devil—cannot touch me.

“I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.

“I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

(Ex. 3:14; John 8:24,28,58)

I am not the great “I am”

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them–yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

(I Cor. 15:10)

…but by the grace of God, I am what I am.

I am good-looking, God says I am beautiful!

Song of Songs 4:7

Give in faith!

1 Corinthians 9:11 If we have sown [the seed of] spiritual good among you, [is it too] much if we reap from your material benefits?

1 Corinthians 9:14 [On the same principle] the Lord directed that those who publish the good news (the Gospel) should live (get their maintenance) by the Gospel.

Paul goes on to say, that he did not use his position as a minister of the gospel to take up offerings, rather he worked, making tents, to support himself. You might notice here, that Paul was not married, nor did he have children. Family responsibilities take time, and just as you bust a move on your job to provide for your family, I work every bit as hard, doing this, faithful to the Lord in prayer and the ministry of His Word, to you.

I will never charge for this: it my responsibility to God, my calling. Freely I have been given, now, I freely give…

As you give, hear Holy Spirit what to give, and honestly expect God to reward you for your giving.

Matt 10: 41 He who receives and welcomes and accepts a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward, and he who receives and welcomes and accepts a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whoever gives to one of these little ones [in rank or influence] even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward.

I am a five-fold ministry gift and office – this is my life – I pray, I hear, I write, and wonderful things happen. You have your job description, I have mine – this is mine….

I have ‘see through’ faith for you, in this: Gal 3: 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

I believe I have a responsibility before God to be like Jesus, in every offering I receive. I receive it with thanksgiving, just like Jesus did the little boys lunch.

Then, because I walk and live by faith according to the blessing of Abraham, I believe that God will take your seed sown, and multiply it, according to what the blessing of Abraham promises:

Genesis 22:17 In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies

It has been a joy to me, to see the hand of the living God act in the lives of those of you who have supported us this year!

Many have seen tremendous blessing come into your households, and for this we give thanks, and give Jesus all the glory!

God has no ugly children!

God made you good looking!
beautiful-god-says

It is not what people say about you that is important, but what God says about you. God says you are a priceless, unique, creation; beautiful in His sight.

People may have used, abused, and mistreated you, but God never will.

1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Well, when you invited Jesus into your heart, God Himself came in, and now, your body is literally a place where God lives!

Psalm 84:1

The Message (MSG)

Psalm 84

1-2 What a beautiful home, God-of-the-Angel-Armies! I’ve always longed to live in a place like this, Always dreamed of a room in your house, where I could sing for joy to God-alive!

You are now God’s beautiful home!

Psalm 84:1 Wycliffe Bible

1 To victory, on the pressers. The psalm of the sons of Korah. Lord of virtues, thy tabernacles be greatly loved; (To victory, for those at the winepresses. The song for the sons of Korah. Lord of hosts, how greatly loved be thy tabernacles/how beautiful is thy dwelling place;)

Well, when you sum up these verses, and all the translations, this is what is critical to you. is this: God, by His Spirit came to live inside of you.

Because God lives in you, you are lovely, beloved, a beautiful home, greatly loved, a beautiful dwelling place of the Most High God.

You are Beautiful!

Let’s Pray:

‘Father, this life, people, my sin, and the mistreatment I have experienced have twisted my image of myself, even the way I view myself. Show me Your love, Jesus reveal Your truth of how You see me, that I can begin the journey again, from here into Your plan and destiny for my life. Amen.’

Worm Theology

worm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worm_theology

Worm Theology is a term used for the idea in Christian culture that in light of God’s holiness and power an appropriate emotion is a low view of self. Some might suggest that because of this view God is more likely to show mercy and compassion. The name may be attributed to a line in the Isaac Watts hymn Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed (Pub 1707) [1], which says “Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?” This thinking was prevalent in the days when this hymn was originally written, perhaps because there was also a higher view of God. Furthermore, worm theology can be attributed to a recognition of the ugliness of sin, resulting in contrition.

Some might suggest adherents of worm theology have inner wounds that they are not necessarily aware of, and such a belief just matches what they feel about themselves and sometimes others. On the other hand, God detests sin so much because it separates us from Himself; it could then be argued that in our sin we are as worms in God’s sight

Job 25:6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

Sure, people are created from dirt, so we are to remain humble, but this verse has been misquoted often, talking about ‘The great Sovreign Unapproachable and Holy God, before whom we are nothing but worms, destined for the dust from which we were formed’

Pious platitudes, devoid of truth and power!

This verse was a recorded utterance from Bildad the Shuhite, (He must have been pretty low, for he was only ‘shoe height’)and he got rebuked by God for it, and his other human reasoning’s about Job’s plight. So are some Christians, constantly finding faults in others, and in themselves.

faults

No! When we received Jesus, we were adopted into God’s family, not as worms, but as sons and daughters of heaven!

Romans 8:1 NLT

[ Life in the Spirit ] So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

We are to see ourselves through the blood of Jesus, forgiven, loved, accepted, precious, in Christ!

Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

If you have received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you have been adopted into the family of God, and now:

Heb 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

The precious blood of Jesus has washed away our sins, and our Father, the Creator of the Universe, loves us! He loves to have us come into His presence, and simply enjoys being with us. While I was writing this my then, 11 year old princess, exclaimed: ‘Dad, put on Newsboys, ‘Dance’ so I can dance before the Lord!’ then she elbowed into the computer, grabbed the mouse while I was typing and turned the volume up full blast. Was she afraid of me? Nope, she knows my heart. I love her, and love when she worships, and she can come ‘get in my space’ whenever she needs to, without fear of repercussion, I delight in her presence. My children are like Christmas gifts I get to unwrap every day! Each day, I see the hand of God developing them, and I watch their particular gifts blossom in our love and under His Word, and it is a joy to behold!

dance1

Isa 54:13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

Pr 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

I am a man of God, strong willed, fierce in my pursuit of my calling and destiny for not only my life, but for the ministry I am being prepared for, and the people I am called to serve, yet how wondrous it is that my children are not me!

They have unique personalities and desires, gifts that are already beyond me in many ways. (You should hear my precious son play keyboard!)

So I feel the heart of our Father in this. As we grow, develop, and continue to walk in His love, our unique and specific gifts, blossom and develop, and He has great joy in the journey.

We are not worms, but sons and daughters of the Most High God, created for love, joy, excellence, and blessing to this generation.

I wrote a couple of articles about seeing ourselves the way, God our heavenly Father sees us, as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

We are a blessed, good-looking bunch, accepted in the beloved.

/https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2015/02/11/youre-who-affects-your-do-until-we-are-through/

God loves you, and so do I. I am praying He reveal that love to you today.

Let’s Pray:

‘Father, I just want to be who you created me to be. I long to be with you today, and to do your perfect will for my life. Show me the uniqueness you have given me, and help me to embrace it, and walk in it, free from the tyranny of others expectations of others, in your name I pray Lord Jesus, Amen’

Seeing ourselves as God sees us…Beautiful!
