The Holy Spirit wants you to know today just how valuable you are to the Father of lights in whom there is no variation and shadow of turning. You must awaken to who God wants you to be and has created you to be for His glory.

“You are no longer a sinner saved by grace but you are the son/daughter of your Father of glory. You were created for glory not shame or disgrace. You were created to reflect who God is to nations of people and demonstrate His power for all to see and know who God is. The father of glory.”

“This is your true position in God seated with Christ in heavenly places filled and blessed with every spiritual blessing (empowerment to prosper in all things.)” Ephesians.1:3.

“Let this reality flood your whole being today and clean out all lies and debris that you have allowed to poison your belief system of your position in God.”

You have wondered why so many attacks and assaults have been launched against you as you are not very relevant or important in the scope of things on earth. Well wake up to reality no one launches nuclear weapons against a small insignificant village they want to destroy.

If heavy duty equipment is being launched against you, then know for certain that the enemy knows that what is with you is far greater than you see and know. He is so convinced about God’s plan for you and is taking no chances on you winning by employing his strongest weapons to intimidate you to surrender and cave in under immense pressure so that what God intended and purposed for you will not become your reality.

You therefore must arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon your life. Isaiah.60:1. Walk in the reality of who God has created you to be and destroy the works of the devil. Let him be the one to flee, not you.

You cannot afford to sit there saying I am nothing when you need to be arising, saying and doing what the Lord ordained for you to do in this time which is to reflect Jesus’s glory on the earth.

The Holy Spirit emphasizes to you that you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar person, called to proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter.2:9 & 10. This is who you are regardless of what you think, feel or presume or believe.

You must change your mind and line up with the truth of who God says that you are because that is your identity.

“What the Father says you are is your true identity. Never forget that reality.”Luke.3:22.

When the Lord approached Gideon in the book of Judges.6:12 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Now the reality was that Gideon was in fear threshing wheat in a wine press but the Lord does not address that Gideon, infused with lies, but the one He has chosen and appointed to bring down Midian.

Mighty man of valor Gideon thought! What have I done or am I doing that qualifies me to be called that, the Lord is not with me and we are nothing but slaves under tyrants. If God was really here with us there would be proof of that. We need to see miracles as proof of God being all around us.

God spoke into Gideon who he was from the Lord’s perspective and not the failures of the past, because from that day onwards the name Gideon was associated with victory after victory and triumph galore. Gideon did go on to bring down Midian as one man and became a great ambassador for the kingdom of God. Gideon became a mighty force to be reckoned with in Israel through miraculous acts God did through his hands.

Well in like manner this morning the Lord is awakening you to who you are in Him and the plan He has to use you to establish for Him on earth and as Gideon you need to change and accept who God says you are.

Drop and throw down the lies of failure and nothingness of person, then shine out what God has intended and purposed for you to do and get busy doing so. Then watch lives change and come into the radiance of who God really is and manifest His glory on earth for men to see and be transformed into vessels of glory.

Throw off the shackles of defeat and clothes of shame just as blind Bartimaeus did to approach Jesus with a fresh view of who He says you are. Not the opinions of men and what circumstances or situations say you are a failure.

You are a chosen one and you will reflect and demonstrate the praises of Him who has called you out from darkness into marvelous light that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

Let these words infuse you with the grace embedded in them to get up and start walking in this reality and bring glory to your Father in heaven through and by the power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.
