The big question is do I realize that the battle has been won so completely that I can walk away from all my old ways and patterns for living forever. Oh what a miserable person I am to be still struggling against Satan when all he has left is his lies.
Lie number one is that I still need to generate significance in and of myself. God gave me significance by the mere fact that He made me in His exact likeness and image. I have extreme significance in the fact that He loves me even though I was dead to him. He further proved how significant I am to Him by sending Jesus to give new life to me because I am His very own supremely precious treasure.
Don`t you know dear reader that the battle has been won in my life despite all the evidence to the contrary in my present circumstances. I fall down on my knees and say in Christ alone I put my trust and no longer will I lean on my own sufficiency. I will then worship the one who has delivered me over 2000 years ago.
Lie number two is that I have to press on in my own strength and need to just try harder or be busier for Jesus The truth is I can finally accept His rest from my weariness and heavy labor. God does not need or want my self labors in fact he tells me that I can do nothing of myself and that I can do all things through Jesus.
He is the significance of my life as I rest in his unlimited strength and power and give Him all the glory moment by moment. Some one said... "Oh the folly of trying to get into a room we are already in"... I am being duped by Satan if I think there is anything more that I have to do to be totally accepted by God or anything more required of me to keep my acceptance and be loved by Him.
Jesus sat down at the right hand of God because the battle was finished and settled between God, Satan and mankind. As a believer the bible says that I am also seated with him in heaven and that's because for me it`s also finished.Through Jesus I have also won. So I believe what God says and not what the enemy of my soul says and know that I have significance and am a new creature in Jesus not because of anything I have accomplished in my own strength but because of what God has accomplished for me.
